(No. 10293.)
(Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

Boyd & Boyd, of Denton, for appellant.
Sam D. Stinson, State’s Atty., of Austin, and Robt. M. Lyles, Asst. State’s Atty., of Groesbeck, for the State.

Opinion:
MORROW, P. J.
The offense is the possession of equipment for the unlawful manufacture of intoxicating liquor; punishment fixed at confinement in the penitentiary for a period of three years.
The absence of the sentence which constitutes the final judgment from which an appeal may be taken precludes a consideration of 'the appeal on its merits. The final judgment is essential to confer jurisdiction upon this court. See Vernon's Tex. Crim. Stat. vol. 2, p. 870, and authorities cited; also article 767, C. C. P. 1925.
The appeal is dismissed.
