New York Court of Appeals December 10, 1878 (Brown v. . the People)

Folger, J.

The plaintiff in error was, on his own plea, found guilty of assault and battery, in the Richmond county sessions, and sentenced by that court “to be imprisoned in the Kings county penitentiary, for the term of six months.”

*439

It is claimed that this sentence is unlawful, because the place of imprisonment named by the court is not the county jail of Richmond county.
