Opinion

LATTIMORE, J.

Conviction for running a bawdyhouse; punishment, a fine of $200 and 20 days in the county jail.

Attention is called by the state’s attorney with this court to the fact that no judgment appears in the record. We are' constrained to agree to this contention. The verdict of the jury is set out, but is followed by no judgment entry. In such ease this court is without jurisdiction. A final judgment is necessary to confer jurisdiction upon this court.

The appeal is dismissed.
