Syllabus

<p>1. Criminal Law (§ 1020*) — Appellate Jurisdiction — “Pine Actually Imposed.”</p> <p>Costs follow sentence, but are no part of the “fine actually imposed,” within Const, art. 85, limiting the criminal jurisdiction of the Supreme Court where a fine is actually imposed.</p> <p>2. Criminal Law (§ 1020*) — Appellate Jurisdiction — Limitation by Amount op Fine — “Fine.”</p> <p>The word “fine” in its ordinary acceptation has the distinct meaning of a pecuniary penalty, and has that restricted meaning in Const, art. 85, limiting the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in cases where a fine is imposed, and hence the forfeiture of the right to conduct a barroom, pursuant to section 7 of the Gay-Shat-tuck law (Act No. 176, p. 236, of 1908), imposed in addition to the fine prescribed by section 6 for its violation, forms no part of such fine, the amount of which determines jurisdiction of an appeal in a prosecution thereunder.</p> <p>For other definitions, see Words and Phrases, vol. 3, pp. 2810-2818.]</p>
