      Appeal from Livingston Circuit Court.
    
    
      Broadus Of Pollard, for Appellants.
    
      John E. Wait, for Eespondent.
   Sherwood, Judge,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This was an action of trespass for cutting down the timber of plaintiff', William Dale; brought by him against the road overseer, William H. Anderson, and a number of other defendants. The record shows that a verdict was returned for the plaintiff, in the usual form, and then this language is used: “ Whereupon, the court ordered judgment to be en-

tered accordingly.” But no judgment is actually entered, and therefore the appeal must be dismissed.

Judges Adams and Tories concur; Judges Wagner and Napton absent.
