. . '/ • [From that judgmeni he took an .appeal-t.o the'Crittenden Circuit Coqrt 'á'fid' that court beiñ'g :,of the opinion thaf. the warrant was fatally ¡defective'in-form and substance,' sustained a dernurrer thereto', and dismissed the prosecution. The ' Commonwealth . being '. dissatisfied with the judgment of the .circuit. court, -has prosecuted 'an appeal therefrom'tb This court. ■ •
,, As the penalty próvídéd.by section 1949, Kentucky [Statutes, for the misdemeanor with which appellee was charged is only a fine -of [not léss than $5 nor more than '$25, we are without- jurisdiction to review the judgment of the circuit court.
■ .'The appellate jurisdiction of this court in cases of misdemeanor is filed' by section 347, Criminal Code, which provides:
“The Court of Appeals shall have jurisdiction in penal actions and prosecutions for misdemeanor, in the following cases only, viz.: If the judgment be for a fine exceeding $50, or for imprisonment exceeding thirty days; or, if the judgment be.for.the defendant, in cases in which a fine exceeding $50, or confinement exceeding thirty days, might have been inflicted.”
