1Opinion of the Court

VALLÉE, J.

Defendant was charged with forging three checks. He pleaded not guilty of the offenses charged and not guilty of the offenses charged “because he was insane at the time he is alleged to have committed said unlawful acts.” The court, a jury having been waived, found defendant guilty of the offenses charged, and on abundant evidence found that he was sane at the time they were committed and that he is sane “at the present time.” He was sentenced to state prison. He appeals from the judgment and the sentence. As an appeal does not lie from the sentence, that appeal must be dismissed.
