Maniscalco v. State, 98 Fla. 468

Brown, J.

The alleged judgment to which this writ of error is addressed ‍‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‍is nothing more than the sentence of the court. It contains no adjudication by the court of the guilt of the defendant. Johnson ‍‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‍v. State, 81 Fla. 783, 89 So. R. 114, and cases cited; Timmons v. State, 119 So. R. 393; Caughn v. State, 122 So. ‍‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‍R. 565. As indicated in the eases cited, a so-called judgment which contains no *469adjudication by the court of the guilt of the ‍‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‍defendant, does not constitute such a final judgment as will support a writ of error. The writ of error in this case, therefore, ‍‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‍must be quashed.

Writ of error quashed.
