Criminal cases are appealable to this court only where the ‍‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‍penalty of imprisonment in the penitentiary may be imposed, or a fine exceeding $300 has been actually imposed, or when a statute has been ‍‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‍declared to be unconstitutional. This case presents none of these features.

Appeal dismissed.
