150 S.E. 113 | N.C. | 1929
The defendants were indicted and convicted of wilfully injuring and removing a fence surrounding a cultivated field in breach of C. S., 4317. Judgment was suspended, upon payment of the cost, until the termination of a pending civil action. The order for the payment of the cost is not a part of the punishment which may be imposed for the commission of a misdemeanor, the legal effect of the order being only to vest the right to the cost in those entitled to it. S. v. Crook,
Appeal dismissed.
