Hodge v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court

Opinion of the Court by

Chief Justice Sampson

Dismisiug the appeal.

The judgment from which appellant Hodge attempts to appeal is one imposing a fine of fifty ($50.00) dollars and thirty (30) days in jail for transporting liquor.

Under the provisions of section 347, Criminal Code, we cannot entertain an appeal where the judgment does not exceed a fine of fifty dollars or a jail sentence of thirty days, nor where the judgment, as in this case, fixes the punishment at a fine of fifty ($50.00) dollars and thirty days in jail. This court is without jurisdiction. Fields v. Commonwealth, 199 Ky. 144; Deskins v. Childers, 195 Ky. 209.

Appeal dismissed.
