Gore v. State
Gore v. State
Opinion of the Court
“It is therefore considered by and it is the judgment of the court that the state of Alabama, for the use of Chilton county, have and recover of Albert Gore the said fine of $75 and the cost of this prosecution, for which let execution issue. And defendant is sentenced to six months’ hard labor for the county of Chilton, imposed by the court as additional punishment.”
The defendant contends that that portion of the judgment purporting to add additional hard labor is void and inoperative, for the reason that it is not shown to be the judgment of the court imposing the additional hard labor. We think that the portion of the judgment set out above in reference to the recovery of the fine imposed by the jury •clearly has reference also to the imposition of the hard labor, and that it is sufficiently clear to make it a valid and binding judgment, not only as to the fine, but as to the hard labor imposed.
Besides, it clearly appears elsewhere in the judgment that “it is the judgment of the court that the defendant is guilty.” There ■'being no error, the judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
