By the Court.
delivering the opinion.
Are not the judgments of this Court — of all Courts — constantly corrected ? And should they not be until they speak the truth ? And what injury can result from allowing this to be done ? The defendant pleads guilty to the presentment of April, 1854, the oldest and first found against him, and puta •the State upon proof of the other two.
As to whether or not the mistake exists, it is a question for the Jury; and the fact of the entry being made on the presentment and on the minutes, is only prima facie evidence, and imposes upon the defendant the burden of establishing his case by proof.
