1Opinion of the Court

Hall, Presiding Judge.

The State and the District Attorney of Fulton County filed a notice of appeal from an order of the trial court quashing the indictment of defendant-appellee.

The appeal is dismissed. The State has no right of appeal in a criminal case. State v. Gossett, 214 Ga. 840 (108 SE2d 272); State v. Jones, 7 Ga. 422.

The State’s contention that the order was actually a writ of prohibition was answered by the Supreme Court when it transferred the case to this court.

Appeal dismissed.
