Per Curiam.

The transcript of the record in this case does not contain ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍any judgment of conviction. What appears to have been considered as such a judgment is nothing more than the sentence of the court. ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍There is no adjudication by the court of the guilt of the defendant, of the *470 crime for which the plaintiff in error was convicted by ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍the jury in the trial court. There is, therefore, no such final judgment as will support a writ of error. See Maniscalco v. ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍State, decided at the present time, and cases therein cited. The writ of error must, therefore, be quashed and the cause remanded. It ‍​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍is so ordered.

Terrell, C. J., and Ellis and Brown, J. J., concur.
