Taylor, 1 Hawks 462 — for, while the humanity of our law gives the right of appeal to the accused in'rill cases, the class of cases in which the State has that right/- is-very small.- A legal acquittal in any Court of competent, jurisdiction, if the indictment bé good, as we'- think it was im this case, will preclude any subsequent proceedings before--evéry other Court.
¶4 Per Ctjriam. • Appeal dismissed!
