Appeal from Circuit Court, Jefferson County; Hugh A. Locke, Judge.

Bill by the State of Alabama against the Jabeles Colias Confectionery Company, the Colias Candy Company, Penelope Jabeles, and others to condemn a building and lot in the city of Birmingham, because used in and about the manufacture of prohibited liquors and beverages. The respondents herein, the appellees, filed a special plea of res judicata; and from a decree overruling exceptions to the plea, the State appeals. Appeal dismissed.

J.Q. Smith, Atty. Gen., and Harwell G. Davis, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Weatherly, Deedmeyer & Birch, of Birmingham, for appellees.

ANDERSON, C.J.

This appeal is prosecuted by the state from a decree of the circuit court in equity, overruling exceptions to a special plea interposed by one of the appellees to its bill of complaint. While this order or decree was appealable under section 2838 of the Code of 1907, said section was amended by Acts 1915, p. 137, and, as amended, excludes decrees overruling or sustaining pleas.

The appeal must therefore be dismissed.

McCLELLAN, SOMERVILLE, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
