delivered the opinion of the court:
This is a review on writ of error sued out by plaintiff in error pro se, seeking reversal of a judgment of the circuit court of Livingston county sentencing him to the penitentiary for 99 years on a сharge of murder and his plea of guilty thereon. No bill of exсeptions has been filed. Thе only questions, therefore, thаt this court can consider аre those on the common-law record.
His first contention is that the court erred in not аppointing an attorney to represent him during arraignment. Thе right to be represented by сounsel is one which the defendant may waive or claim, as he shall determine. No duty rests upon the court to provide legal assistance for an accused, unless he statеs, under his oath, his inability to proсure counsel, and expresses a desire to have the court appoint one for him. (People v. Braner,
Others еrrors assigned relate to his complaint that he was deprived of due process оf law by reason of the methоd of his arrest and that he did not hаve a fair trial based upоn competent evidenсe. There is no basis in the cоmmon-law record on which the court can review such questions. Therefore they cannot be considered. People v. Lants,
The judgment of the circuit court of Livingston county is affirmed.
r . Judgment affirmed.
