OPINION

HOLDEN, J.

--Appellant was convicted in justice court of the offense of practicing barbering without a Certificate of Registration as a registered barber. Thereafter, he appealed to the district court for Bannock county, and was again convicted. Following his conviction in the district court, he filed in the office of the clerk a notice of appeal from the judgment of conviction, and caused a copy of the same to be personally served upon the prosecuting attorney of Bannock county, but did not personally serve a copy upon the attorney general.

J. W. Taylor, Attorney General of the State of Idaho, and enclosed therewith an acknowledgment of service together with a letter directing and requesting the Attorney General to sign the acknowledgment of service and file the same with the Clerk of the Supreme Court; that the practice has been in this district for the past seventeen years, to affiant's knowledge, to mail a copy of the notice of appeal to the attorney general and attorneys in this district heretofore have not been required to personally serve notice of appeal upon the attorney general's office."

It is contended by respondent that on an appeal from a conviction in a criminal case copies of the notice of appeal must be served upon the attorney general and the prosecuting attorney, and...
