Opinion
(Decided 15 March, 1898.)
Criminal Court — Appeal — Jurisdiction.
No appeal lies direct to this court from a criminal or other inferior court.
INDICTMENT for a criminal offense tried before Sutton, J., and a jury, at July Term, 1897, of NEW HANOVER. The defendant was convicted and appealed direct to this Court.
Zeb V. Walser, Attorney-General, for the State.
John D. Bellamy for defendant.
This was an appeal taken direct to this Court from the Eastern Criminal Court. The appeal should have (1077) been taken in the Superior Court of New Hanover. It has been held at this term in S. v. Ray, post, 1097, and Pate v. R. R., ante 877, that appeals lie to this Court only from the Superior Courts.
Appeal dismissed.
