Head Matter:
The State v. LeBlond et al.
The Supreme Court is without jurisdiction when an indictment is quashed in Unvtne^ and consequently no fine has been actually imposed, and the offence charged is not punishable with death or imprisonment at hard labor.
APPEAL from the District Court of the parish of St. James, Duffel, J.
S. M. Berault, for defendant.

Opinion:
Spoeíobd, J.
This appeal was taken by the District Attorney, on behalf of the State, from a judgment quashing an indictment against the defendants for the offence of selling spirituous liquors to a slave without the consent in writing of the owner, overseer or employer of the said slave.
No fine was actually imposed, as the indictment was quashed in limine; and the offence charged has never been punishable with death or imprisonment at hard labor.
We are without jurisdiction in the case. Constitution, Art. 62.
Appeal dismissed.
