Wiseman, J.
This is an appeal on questions of law from an order made in a criminal proceeding by the Common Pleas Court of Preble County.
The notice of appeal recites that the appeal is “from a judgment rendered * * * on the 17th day of May, 1957,” and an order overruling a motion for new trial filed May 20, 1957. In the entry filed May 17, 1957, the court found the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment, the defendant having waived in writing a trial by jury. The defendant being convicted of a violation of Section 2905.02, Revised Code, the court ordered him to be conveyed to the Lima State Hospital for psychiatric examination as provided in Section 2947.25, Revised Code. The entry filed May 20, 1957, overrules the motion for new trial. There is nothing in the record to show a compliance with the provisions of Section 2947.25 except the commitment.
Section 2953.05, Revised Code, provides:
“Appeal under Section 2953.04 of the Revised Code, may *323be filed as a matter of right within 30 days after sentence and judgment. After 30 days from sentence and judgment, such appeal may be filed only by leave of the court or two of the judges thereof.” (Emphasis ours.)
Under this section the sentence is the judgment from which an appeal may be taken. State v. Gossler, 74 Ohio App., 486, 491, 496, 57 N. E. (2d), 670. It is not claimed that the trial court abused its discretion in overruling the defendant’s motion for new trial. Moreover, upon an examination of the record we find no abuse of discretion.
There has been no “sentence and judgment” as contemplated by Section 2953.05, Revised Code, and there is no order which constitutes an appealable order.
The court sua sponte dismisses the appeal and remands the cause to the trial court for further proceedings according to law.

Appeal dismissed.

Hornbeck, P. J., and Crawford, J., concur.
