        "text": "McCulloch, C. J.\nAn indictment was returned by the grand jury of Craighead County, Jonesboro District, at the October term, 1906, against appellant, Ben Bar-wick, charging him with the offense of selling intoxicating liquor in violation of law. At the next term of the court, which was the February term, 1907, appellant entered a plea of guilty to the charge and the court, after receiving the plea and noting the same upon the record, caused an order to be entered \u201cthat this cause be continued; that the defendant pay all costs herein at once, and that the fine he imposed at the pleasure of the court.\u201d No objection appears to have been made by appellant to this order of the court, and no further proceedings were had until the November, 1912, term of the court, when the case was called and the court entered judgment against the defendant, upon his plea of - guilty, for a fine in the sum of $100. Prom that judgment, he has prosecuted an appeal.\nAppellant\u2019s plea of guilty was entered unconditionally, therefore, the case does not fall within the ruling of this court in Wolfe v. State, 102 Ark. 295.\nWe held in the case of Joiner v. State, 94 Ark. 198, that \u201cupon a plea of guilty entered at one term of court, judgment may be entered at a subsequent term.\u201d That \u25a0case is, therefore, conclusive of the question raised now as to the power of the court to render judgment at a subsequent term.\nIt is urged, however, that the court had no power to adjudge the penalty by piecemeal, and that in as much as a judgment for costs was rendered that exhausted the court\u2019s power to render any further judgment. The award of costs was a mere incident (Villines v. State, 105 Ark. 471), and it may well be doubted whether the costs could be collected until final judgment was rendered Against appellant. The record of the court affirmatively shows that no judgment was rendered, but that the judgment imposing the fine was expressly reserved \u201cat the pleasure of the court.\u201d It can not, therefore, be said that the court rendered judgment by piecemeal, as it never attempted to render any judgment at all except the one from which this appeal is prosecuted.\nIt is also insisted that the case was abandoned, and that the prosecution was barred by lapse of time. As .before stated, no judgment was rendered and the court continued the case for further proceedings. It was not \u25a0abandoned, and no statute, is brought to our attention which would operate as a bar, on account of lapse of time, to the exercise of the court\u2019s power to render judgment after lapse of several terms.\nCounsel cite cases to the effect that a court can not, at will, strike criminal cases from the docket and reinstate them. But it does not appear from the record here that the court ever struck this case from its docket, and reinstated it. Nor does it appear that appellant had ever asked for final judgment, or asked to be discharged on account of no judgment being rendered. For aught the record shows, the defendant may have been in attendance at each subsequent term of the court, and made no objection to further continuance. Under those circumstances, he waived the delay, and can not complain because the court delayed entering judgment on his plea. Ex parte Hall, 47 Ala. 675.\nThe court acted within its powers in rendering judgment at a subsequent term, and no abuse of discretion is shown. Judgment affirmed.",

    "head_matter": "Barwick v. State.\nOpinion delivered February 17, 1913.\n1. Criminal law\u2014plea of guilty\u2014entry of judgment at subsequent term.\u2014Upon, a plea of guilty entered at one term of court, judgment may be entered at a subsequent term. (Page 117.)\n2. Criminal law\u2014judgment by piecemeal.\u2014When defendant is indicted and enters a plea of guilty, and the court noted on the record the following order: \u201cThat this cause be continued; that defendant pay all costs herein at once, and that the fine be imposed at the pleasure of the court.\u201d Defendant did not object, and at next term, the court entered judgment against defendant and assessed the fine. Reid, no judgment was rendered except the one imposing the fine, and the court did not render judgment by piecemeal. (Page 117.)\n3. Judgments\u2014lapse of time.\u2014A prosecution is not barred by lapse of time, when the court continued the cause from term to term for further proceedings. (Page 117.)\n4. Judgments\u2014delay\u2014waiver.\u2014When a court continues a cause from term to 'term for further proceedings, and the defendant does not ask for final judgment, he is held to have waived the delay, and can not complain because the court delayed in entering judgment on his plea. (Page 118.)\nAppeal from Craighead Circuit Court, Jonesboro District; W. J. Driver, Judge;\naffirmed.\nHawthorne S Hawthorne, for appellant.\n1. Unlike the Joiner case, 94 Ark. 198, tlie record in this case shows that the plea of appellant was entered upon condition. It is immaterial that the judgment of February, 1907, was entered by appellant\u2019s consent. The court had no power at the November term, 1912, to impose any part of a sentence upon appellant under the order rendered at the February term, 1907. 144 S. W. (Ark.) 208. \u201cThe entire sentence must be pronounced at one time, not in parcels. \u2019 \u2019 1 Bishop\u2019s New Criminal Procedure, \u00a7 1291; 61 Mich. 110.\n2. The cause became abandoned and discontinued. A discontinuance results in a cause whenever for any reason there is in connection with it and the court records a lapse, unless such lapse is the fault of the defendant, 20 Ala. 9; 47 Ala. 675; 67 Ky. 427; 64 Ind. 371; 48 N. E. 261; Black\u2019s Law Diet. 818.\nWilliam L. Moose, Attorney General, and Jno. P. Streepey, Assistant, for appellee.\n1. The plea was unqualified. This case is controlled by Joiner v. State, 94 Ark. 108. The power to impose a partial judgment at one term and another part at a subsequent term is not involved here. Costs are not a part of the judgment for a fine. 151 S. W. (Ark.) 1023; 61 Ark. 17; 12 Ark. 123.\n2. There was no discontinuance. It was not incumbent upon the court to have the case upon the docket at each term in order to avoid a discontinuance, .but, even if that were necessary, there is nothing in the record to show that the case was not so docketed."
