The court did not enter into the merits
of the case. simply passing on the ques-
Zion of the states rights under the cir

''Th appeal must be dismissed by this

specific ground that the statute does not

such a Judgment as that entered in the

nation: such Is the right conferred by
section 2.273. which is the only provision
of the section which has any relation
whatever to the supposed right of appeal
assumed by the state to exist Ina the case
at bar. But the state Is not given th'
right to appeal from a judgment rendered
on demurrer to the complaint. and there

therefore. that no appeal by the state
