The only feature of the record which is thought to be a judgment from which the appeal was taken is a memorandum which is presumably a docket entry as follows: "2/4/47. Demurrer overruled."
Such an entry is not a decree in equity as it would not be a judgment at law, which will support an appeal. Mann v. Hyams,101 Ala. 431" court="Ala." date_filed="1893-11-15" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/mann-v-hyams-6515496?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="6515496">101 Ala. 431, 13 So. 681. Many cases are cited in 2 Ala.Dig., Appeal and Error, 123: later cases are Wilbanks v. Mitchell,239 Ala. 167" court="Ala." date_filed="1940-01-11" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/wilbanks-v-mitchell-3230963?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="3230963">239 Ala. 167, 194 So. 513" court="Ala." date_filed="1940-01-11" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/wilbanks-v-mitchell-3230963?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="3230963">194 So. 513; Watkins Co. v. Goggans, 242 Ala. 222" court="Ala." date_filed="1941-10-30" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/j-r-watkins-co-v-goggans-3225718?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="3225718">242 Ala. 222, 5 So. 2d 472" court="Ala." date_filed="1941-10-30" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/j-r-watkins-co-v-goggans-3225718?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="3225718">5 So.2d 472.
If the entry was completed on the minutes of the court, or if the judge "formulated and formally rendered" a decree, it does not appear in this record. See Lanier v. Russell, 74 Ala. 364" court="Ala." date_filed="1883-12-15" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/lanier-v-russell-6511745?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="6511745">74 Ala. 364,367.
It is necessary to dismiss the appeal because there is no decree to support it.
Appeal dismissed.
