MERRITT, J.
The complaint filed by the solicitor in the circuit court in this case proceeds under section 7737 of the Code of 1907. By act approved September 20, 1915, Acts 1915, p. 623, this section of the Code was repealed.
The trial of the case, however, seems to have proceeded under a rule or regulation adopted by the commissioners' court of Randolph county, which regulation pertaining to the working of the public roads the commissioners' court had the right to adopt under the Acts of 1915, p. 573. Isbell v. State, 17 Ala. App. 465, 86 So. 169.
The complaint is not only defective in that it fails to sufficiently set out the ordinance or rule of the commissioners' court, but it charges no offense known to the law of this state, and would not support a conviction for crime.
It was not necessarily a violation of the law to fail to work the public roads after legal notice, as under the ordinance of the commissioners' court one has the right to either work the required time or pay $5. As to whether this was done in this case it is unnecessary to decide, as under the complaint a conviction cannot be had. This being a misdemeanor, and any further prosecution being barred, the judgment must be reversed, and a judgment here rendered, discharging the defendant.
Reversed and rendered.
