44 Mich. 308; 6 N.W. 682; 1880 Mich. LEXIS 551

Clark v. People

Opinion of the Court

Marston, C. J.

This case comes clearly within Edwards v. People 89 Mich. 760. The information was sworn to December 26, 1878, and on the' same day the. respondent was arraigned, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced, and there is nothing in the record showing, or from which it can be inferred, that any examination, such as the act of 1875 contemplates, was had.

The júdgment must therefore be reversed and the prisoner -discharged.

The other Justices concurred.
