New York Supreme Court, 1891

People v. Miller

New York Supreme Court · Decided July 2, 1891 · Dykman

15 N.Y.S. 516; 39 N.Y. St. Rep. 747; 1891 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 28 (New York Supplement)

Counsel

William Vanamee, ( W. F. O’Neill, of counsel,) for appellant. T. A. Read, for the People.

Opinion of the Court

Dykman, J.

The evidence was sufficient to sustain the conviction, but, as the testimony failed to show actual personal knowledge of the defendant of the disorderly conduct in her house, and as she denied such personal knowledge, wé think the law will be sufficiently vindicated if the punishment is changed from imprisonment to a pecuniary fine. The judgment is therefore modified by changing the sentence from imprisonment to a fine of $25. All concur.
