74 Pa. Super. 100 | Pa. Super. Ct. | 1920
Opinion by
The defendant appellant was tried in the Municipal Court of Philadelphia upon a bill of indictment containing two counts, one charging larceny and the other receiving stolen goods, etc. He was convicted upon the latter count and duly sentenced and from that sentence this appeal comes.
The record shows no alleged trial errors. The appellant now rests his case solely on the ground that the municipal court had no jurisdiction to try the defendant because the legislature was without power to confer such jurisdiction in a case where the bill of indictment had been found in the Court of Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia County. The supporting argument is the familiar one which has been considered, discussed and answered in a number of very recent cases, both in the Supreme Court and this court.
A careful study of the scholarly argument in the printed brief of the learned counsel for the appellant has led
The judgment is affirmed and the record remitted and it is ordered that the defendant appear in the court below at such time as he may be there called and that he be by that court committed until he has complied with the sentence or any part of it which had not been performed at the time the appeal in this case was made a supersedeas.
