Syllabus

<p>1. Eight of Appeal—Final Judgment—Practice in this Court.— Though a convicted defendant has a right of appeal in any criminal action, yet he is not convicted until judgment final is rendered against him. If, therefore, the record on appeal shows no final judgment in the trial court against the appellant, the appeal will be dismissed by this court.</p> <p>2. Judgment and Sentence.— See the opinion in extenso for the requisites of a final judgment in a felony case, and for those of the sentence to be passed thereon. Note recitals which are held insufficient to constitute a final judgment.</p>
