J. M. Corbett v. The State.
    No. 2413.

    Under article 87, Revised Code Criminal Procedure, it is provided that where the case originates in the Justice or Recorder’s Court or other inferior court and is appealed to the County Court, and in the latter court, the judgment is for $100 or less, the judgment is final.

    Appeal from a violation of city ordinance; penalty, a fine of $25.
    The opinion states the case.
    
      Gaines & Corbett and J. W. Conger, for appellant.
    
      C. E. Lane, Assistant Attorney-General, for the State.
   DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.

Appellant was charged in the recorder’s court with a violation of the city ordinance, and was there fined $25. He prosecuted an appeal to the County Court, in which court upon trial he was again fined $25. From that judgment he prosecutes this appeal.

Motion is made by the Assistant Attorney-General to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction in this court. This motion is well taken and should be and is sustained. Article 87 of the Bevised Code of Criminal Procedure provides that where the case originates in the justice or recorder’s court or other inferior courts and is appealed to the County Court, and in the latter court the judgment is for one hundred dollars or less, the case shall be final. Some of the eases are collated under article 87 of the Bevised Code. It is not deemed necessary here to cite them.

Motion to dismiss is sustained and the appeal is dismissed.

Dismissed.
