CHARLES H. FAIR and O. B. BERTRAM for appellant.
HUBERT MEREDITH, Attorney General, and J. M. CAMPBELL, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Opinion:
Opinion of the Court by
Chief Justice Stites
Dismissing appeal.
Preston Murphy was convicted of violating the Local Option Law, Kentucky Statutes, section 2554e-l et seq., by the verdict of a jury which fixed his punishment at a fine of twenty dollars and thirty days in jail. So far as the record before us discloses, no judgment has been entered on this verdict. An appeal lies only from a final order or judgment. Criminal Code of Practice, Section 347.
Furthermore, we are without jurisdiction to review a judgment for a twenty-dollar fine and thirty days in jail even if one had been entered. Compton v. Commonwealth, 270 Ky. 51, 109 S. W. (2d) 16.
Appeal dismissed.
