1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Trexler, J.,
The defendant, after a verdict of guilty, moved for a new trial and in arrest of judgment. The court refused to arrest the judgment but granted a new trial. This set aside the verdict, and the proceedings in arrest of judgment fell with it. There is nothing from which to appeal: Lance v. Bonnell, 105 Pa. 46.
The appeal is quashed.
