William D. Walton and another v. The Louisiana State Marine and Fire Insurance Company.
    Where a verdict had been found, but no final judgment rendered, and defendant appealed on the refusal to grant a new trial, the appeal will be dismissed.
    Appeal from the Commercial Court of New Orleans, Watts, J.
    
      G. Strawbridge, for the appellants.
    
      L. Janin, for the defendants.
   Martin, J.

In this case the plaintiffs had a verdict, which the court ordered to be recorded. Being dissatisfied therewith, they moved for a new trial, which was refused. The judge expressed his dissatisfaction with the verdict, but stated that the case presented a mere question of law, which he thought best to submit to the decision of this tribunal; whereupon, he omitted to give any judgment on the verdict. The appeal cannot be sustain- ' ed, on the denial of a new trial; nor until there be a final judgment.

Appeal dismissed. 
      
       Morphy, J., being interested, did not sit on the trial of this case.
