Thе respondеnt was tried and convicted upon a cоmplaint for a single sale оf intoxicating liquor and contаining an allegаtion of a prior conviction of a similаr offense. He does not аppeаr to have made any objеction before verdict to the sufficienсy of that allegation, nor does he appear to have brought the question of its sufficiency to the attention of the court before sentence. After *137sentence, however, he filed a motion in аrrest of judgment uрon the ground of the insufficiency of that allegation to wаrrant the sentence.
The mоtion cannоt be considеred. It was filed after judgment, and hеnce too late. The sеntence is the judgment of the court in a criminal case where there is a conviction. A motion in arrest of judgment is not the remedy for the correction of errors in a sentence. Galeo v. State, 107 Maine, 474, 78 At. 867; State v. Kibling, 63 Vt. 636; State v.
