DeviN, C. J.

¶1 On defendant’s former appeal in this case (S. v. Parker, 234 N.C. 236, 66 S.E. 2d 907), his conviction on the charge of possession of intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale was upheld by this Court and the case remanded to the Superior Court “to the end that proper judgment be entered in accordance with this opinion.” Judgment has now been rendered within the terms of the statute and in accordance with the decision of this Court. From this no appeal would lie.

¶2 Defendant, however, moved in arrest of judgment and interposed plea of former jeopardy, on the ground that subsequent to defendant’s conviction in the Superior Court he was acquitted in the Recorder’s Court of the charge of possession of intoxicating liquor. His motion was denied, and plea overruled, and properly so, we think, for the reasons set out in the opinion in the former appeal. S. v. Parker, supra; S. v. Lippard, 223 N.C. 167, 25 S.E. 2d 594. See also S. v. Bell, 205 N.C. 225, 171 S.E. 50.
