Per Curiam:

An examination of this case assures us that defendant has ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‍had a fair and impartial trial in the court below, and that the verdict and judgment were the legitimate results of ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‍his own crime, deliberately and wilfully committed.

Under such circumstances we hesitate to reverse for merely technical errors; but in the case ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‍in hand even such errors’ are wanting, or if any such there be, they have not been made apparent to us, ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‍and do not appear of record.

The judgment of the oyer and terminer is now affirmed; and it is ordered that the ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‍record be remitted to that court for the purposes of execution.
