(State v. Saunders,
The opinion of the Court upon the finding of the jury is the only semblance of a judgment that appears in the case. The record does not show that any judgment was rendered in the case upon the findings of the jury, and this statement, in the case on appeal of the Judge, that "upon this state of facts the defendant is not guilty and that the verdict is so entered," cannot be taken as a judgment. In a criminal action there is no appeal save from a final judgment. And when the record does not show a final judgment the appeal will be dismissed. State v. Saunders,
This appeal must therefore be dismissed.
No error. Dismissed.
