12 La. Ann. 363

State v. LeBlond

Opinion of the Court

Spoeíobd, J.

This appeal was taken by the District Attorney, on behalf of the State, from a judgment quashing an indictment against the defendants for the offence of selling spirituous liquors to a slave without the consent in writing of the owner, overseer or employer of the said slave.

No fine was actually imposed, as the indictment was quashed in limine; and the offence charged has never been punishable with death or imprisonment at hard labor.

We are without jurisdiction in the case. Constitution, Art. 62.

Appeal dismissed.
