• 58 Fla. 169

Syllabus

<p>1. Under the statutes of this State a writ of error lies only to a “final judgment” in an action at law or to “an order granting a new trial at law.”</p> <p>2. When a writ of error is taken to a judgment in an action at law, and there is in the transcript of the record proper no entry of a final judgment terminating or disposing of the action, the writ of error is improperly issued and will he dismissed.</p> <p>8. A judgment for costs alone, where the merits of the cause are not adjudicated, and the action is not terminated or disposed of, is not such a final judgment as will support a writ of error.</p>
