State v. Rentiford
State v. Rentiford
Opinion of the Court
The defendant was found guilty by the verdict of the jury, of an offence punishable with fine only.
He moved in arrest of judgment, and his motion was sustained.
This appeal has been taken by the State.
The defendant now moves to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
The Constitution confers appellate jurisdiction on this court in criminal cases, on questions of law only, in cases where the offence charged is punishable with death or imprisonment at hard labor, or when a fine exceeding three hundred dollars has been actually imposed.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed by the court, that the appeal in this case be dismissed.
