The Court.

The defendant pleaded not guilty as charged in the information; that ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‍he- had been previously convicted of the same offense, and also once in jeopardy. The jury found, upon the plea of not ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‍guilty, the defendant guilty of burglary in the second degree, and on the other pleas found in favor of the people. Inasmuch as ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‍the former information failed to charge the defendant with the commission of any crime, the court below was justified in instructing the ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‍jury that the pleas of former conviction and once in jeopardy could not be sustained. The evidence was sufficient to justify the ‍‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‍verdict of guilty of burglary in the second degree.

Judgment and order affirmed.
