¶1The opinion of the Court was delivered by
¶2The appearance bond furnished by the defendant, was declared forfeited and judgment rendered, on his failure to appear when summoned.
¶3The surety thereupon took a rule to have the forfeiture set aside and the bond annulled, alleging various grounds in support.
¶4The district judge, after hearing, merely rescinded the judgment.
¶5From this decree, the State appeals. The appellee moves to dismiss on the ground that an appeal does not lie therefrom.
¶6It is evident that the district judge did not pass upon the validity of the bond assailed by the security.
¶7His action in annulling the forfeiture leaves matters iu the condition in which they stood previous to the motion of the district attorney for the forfeiture of the bond.
¶8The right of the State to further proceedings is admitted by the security and remains unaffected.
¶9Theoretically and practically the distriet judge, after reversing and setting aside his judgment, has simply granted a new trial.
¶10It has been repeatedly held that an appeal does not lie from an order granting a new trial.
¶11The motion to dismiss must prevail.
¶12Appeal dismissed.
