White, J.

¶1The motion of the assistant attorney general to dismiss this appeal for want of a final judgment must he sustained. The case of Mayfield v. The State, 40 Texas, 289, is identical in its features in this particular. And the attention of district and county judges, and district and county attorneys and clerks, is again called to the rules laid down in Mayfield v. The State, as to the requisites of a judgment of conviction in criminal cases.

¶2The appeal is dismissed.

¶3Dismissed.
