Opinion
No appeal is allowed on the part of the State’ where a general verdict of not guilty has been rendered.
This was decided as far back as 1809, in the case of the State v. Jones, 1 Mur. 257, again in 1824, in the case of the State vs. Taylor, 1 Hawks, 422, and recently in the case of the State v. Credle, 63 N. C. R., 506. As no appeal could be *647 taken by the State, the question in regard to the competency of the evidence rejected, does not arise.
There is error. Appeal dismissed.
PjeR Curiam. Error.
