People v. Barber
New York Supreme Court · Decided December 15, 1893 · Ham, Herrick, Putnam
81 N.Y. Sup. Ct. 368

Counsel

R. M. Moore, for the appellant., Frederick G. Paddock, District Attorney, for the respondent.

People v. Barber

Opinion of the Court

Herrick, J.:

It seems to me that the indictment sufficiently sets forth an offense under section 218 of the Penal Code. The evidence shows that the *370•defendant was committing an offense under section 448 of tbe Penal Code. Tbe person wbo made tbe arrest, and wliom tbe defendant assaulted, was a constable, and tbe defendant’s offense was committed in bis presence.

Under section 177 of tbe Code of Criminal Procedure a constable bad authority to arrest him for such offense without a warrant.

Tbe judgment should, therefore, be affirmed.

Man ham, P. J., and Putnam, J., concurred.

Judgment of conviction affirmed.
