Monks, J.

¶2It is settled law in this State that appeals in criminal cases can only be taken from final judgments. Erganbright v. State (1897), 148 Ind. 180, and cases cited. The action of *17the court in overruling the motion to discharge was not a final judgment. As no final judgment has been rendered in said cause, this court has no jurisdiction of this appeal.

¶3The appeal is therefore dismissed.
