State v. . Jackson

State v. . Jackson
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided November 3, 1943 · PER CURIAM.
27 S.E.2d 445; 223 N.C. 860 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. . Jackson

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The defendant was not tried upon either warrant in the County Criminal Court; hence the defendant challenged the jurisdiction of the Superior Court. However, when the respective cases were called in the County Criminal Court, the defendant demanded a trial by jury; whereupon the cases were transferred to the Superior Court. This procedure, upon a request for a jury trial by the State or defendant, being mandatory under the provisions of chapter 303, Public Laws ■of 1941, it is now conceded by the defendant that the procedure was proper and that the judgment in each case should be affirmed.

The judgment rendered below in each case is

Affirmed.
