The defendant appealed to this court, and the cause was reversed and remanded. 10 N. M. 138.\nThe indictment charged murder in the first degree upon which a conviction might be had in either the first, second or third degrees. After the cause was remanded, defendant interposed a plea of autrefois acquit as to the first and second degrees of murder charged. The Territory demurred to the plea which demurrer was overruled. The Territory then appealed to this court and seeks to review the judgment on the demurrer.\nAside from the question of the right of the Territory to appeal at all in cases not specified in the statute (Compiled Laws, sec. 3411), it must be apparent that this judgment is not a final judgment and is therefore not appealable. Jung v. Myer, 68 Pac. (N. M'.) 933.\nThis court having no jurisdiction of the cause the appeal will be dismissed, and it is so ordered.\nMills, G. J., McPie and Baker, JJ., concur.\nMcMillan, J., having tried the cause below, took no part in this decision.",

McMillan, Associate Justice.\nAppeal dismissed.\nEdward L. Bartlett, Solicitor-General, and George W. Pritchard, District Attorney, for appellant.\nIn this Territory while the Supreme Court may affirm, reverse or modify a judgment of the lower court, or render such judgment as that court should have rendered in a civil case \u2014 in a criminal appeal this court\u2014 \u201cif the judgment be reversed, shall direct a new trial, or that the defendant be absolutely discharged, according to the circumstances of the case.\nCompiled Laws 1897, sec. 3416; Compiled Laws 1897, sec. 3418.\nThis last section was construed by this court in Territory v. Griego, 8 N. M. 133, 140.\nThis question has been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in favor of the contention of the Territory, and its decisions are controlling in this court.\nEx parte Lange, 18 Wall. 173-4; Neilson, Petitioner, 131 U. S. 187.\nAlso see U. S. v. Perez, 9 Wheat. 580; Kring v. Missouri, 107 U. S. 225; Dealy v. U. S., 152 U. S. 542; Cooley, Constitutional Lim. (2 Ed.), p. 327; 1 Bish. Crim. Law, secs. 998, 1004, 1006; State v. Bradley, 67 Vermont 473; State v. Belden, 33 Wis. 121, 14 Am. 748.\nBut a verdict of murder in tbe second degree is only an implied acquittal of murder in tbe first degree; and if tbe verdict from which tbe inference is drawn is set aside, nothing remains to sustain tbe inference and tbe verdict and its incidents fall together, and tbe indictment is left to stand as to tbe crime of which accused was convicted, as though there had been no trial.\nBailey v. State, 26 Ga. 579; State v. Behi-mer, 20 Ohio St. 572; United States v. Harding, 1 Wall Jr. 147; State v. Kittle, 2 Tyler 471, is not to the contrary.\nBy taking exceptions and ashing for a new trial, the defendant is deemed to have waived his right to immunity from further jeopardy, in case a new trial is granted.\nPeople v. Palmer, 109 N. Y. 413, 420; Commonwealth v. Arnold (Ky.), 4 Am. St. 117, notes and citations; Bohanan v. State, 18 Neb. 57; State v. Kessler, 49 Pac. 293; People v. Cas-borus, 13 Johns. 351; People v. Murray, 89 Mich. 276.\nSee also People v. Trezza., 128 N. Y. 529.\nOne of the best considered cases is Commonwealth v. Murphy, 174 Mass. 371.\nBy \u201cjeopardy\u201d is meant, we think, lawful jeopardy from the commencement of the proceedings until their termination by a proper judgment and sentence or acquittal, or what the law regards as such.\nCom. v.

E. 835.\nFreeman & Cameron for defendant.\nAs a general rule appeals will lie only from final judgments.\nElliott\u2019s Appellate Procedure, sec. 80, and authorities cited.\nA ruling upon a demurrer to a pleading, whether the ruling is for or against the demurring party, is not a final judgment.\nElliott, sec. 81; Slagle v. Bidner, 58 Ind. 465; Newell v. Gattling, 7 Ind. 147; Nat. Banking Co. y. Knaup, 55 Mo. 154; Ruby y. Shaw, 51 Mo. 116; Griffee y. Mann, 62 Md. 248; Elliott, sec. 84.\nAn interlocutory order is not appealable, although it may be on a crucial point, and may in fact be a controlling feature of the case.\nMurray y. Scribner, 70 Wis. 228; Elliott, sec. 83.\nThe right of appeal is purely statutory.\nElliott, sec. 75, and authorities cited; People v. Majors, 3 Pac'. 401.\nOur statutes prescribe the character of judgments from which appeals may be taken.\nCompiled Laws 1897, secs. 3406, 34\u00cd0 and 3411.\nDEFENDANT'S BRIEF ON THE plaintiff's APPEAL FROM THE ORDER OF THE COURT OVERRULING ITS DEMURRER TO THE DEFENDANT'S PLEA OF AUTREFOIS ACQUIT.\nWhenever an indictment including different grades of crime, is submitted to the jury, and the jury find the defendant guilty of one of the grades of the offense, they render in contemplation of law, two verdicts, to-wit: Not guilty, as to one grade, and guilty as to the other. People v. Gilmore, 4 Cal. 376.\nNo man can twice be put in jeopardy for the same offense.\nState v. Cooper, 1 Green. Law 361, 25 Am. Dec. 490; Campbell v. State, 9 Yerg. 3333 Am. Dec. 417.\nBut see also People v.

Gordon (Cal.), 33 Pac. 901; Turner v. State (Tex.), 54 S. W. 579.\nThe Iowa cases are to the same effect.\nState v. Helm, 61 N. W. 249; State v. Tweedy, 11 Iowa 352.\nAs also are Slaughter v.

Dec. 314-319.\nThe waiver of the constitutional right implied in an application for a new trial is construed to extend only to the precise thing concerning which relief is sought.\n1 Bishop Cr. Law, sec. 1004-1057.\nSee also Roberts v. State, 58 Am. Dec. 532 and notes on page 554; Clem v. State, 46 Ind. 420; 13 Am. Dec. 369; State v. Cooper, 25 Am. Dec. 496; State v.

Scott, 14 S. and M. 94; Mylans v.

Johnson, Stock, ch. 287, citing also Salter v. Williamson, 1 Green, ch. 280; Fry v. Demerest, 1 C. E. Green. 236; Yan Mater v.
