LATTIMORE, Judge.

Appellant was convicted in the district court of Camp County for possessing ‍​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‍mash for the purpose of making intoxicating liquor, and his punishment fixed at one year in the penitentiary.

Appellant was given a suspended sentence, notwithstanding which he ‍​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‍filed a motion for new trial and gave notice of appeal. Under the terms of our statute relative to suspended sentence it has been held that ‍​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‍in a case where one receives such sentence the judgment is not final and cannot be appealed from. Bierman v. State, 73 Texas. Crim. Rep., ‍​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‍284; Hill v. State, 242 S. W. Rep. 982.

There being no final judgment in this case from which appeal can be properly taken, this court is without ‍​​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‍jurisdiction, and the appeal must be dismissed, and it is accordingly so ordered.

Dismissed.
