Murphy v. Commonwealth

121 S.W.2d 704, 275 Ky. 318, 1938 Ky. LEXIS 422

Opinion

Opinion of the Court by

Chief Justice Stites

Dismissing appeal.

Preston Murphy was convicted of violating the Local Option Law, Kentucky Statutes, section 2554e-l et seq., by the verdict of a jury which fixed his punishment at a fine of twenty dollars and thirty days in jail. So far as the record before us discloses, no judgment has been entered on this verdict. An appeal lies only from a final order or judgment. Criminal Code of Practice, Section 347.

Furthermore, we are without jurisdiction to review a judgment for a twenty-dollar fine and thirty days in jail even if one had been entered. Compton v. Commonwealth, 270 Ky. 51, 109 S. W. (2d) 16.

Appeal dismissed.
