Opinion

By the whole Court.

The appeal is not sustainable.— No one is to be twice drawn in jeopardy for the same crime, which might be the case if this appeal is sustained. The complainant might have sued only for his damages, and had an appeal; but having elected to unite his demand for damages with a criminal prosecution, on which one acquittal is final, ho has waived his right of appeal.
