Quinney v. Commonwealth

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided January 7, 1889

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1889-01-07

Error, No. 186, Oct. T. 1888, to Q. S. Allegheny Co., to review a judgment on a verdict of guilty on an indictment for selling liquor without license, at June Sessions, 1888, No. 231.

Relies on Genkinger v. Commonwealth

Decided 1889-01-07

Per Curiam,

¶1The argument that the court of quarter sessions was without jurisdiction, in the case in hand, is without foundation, for the criminal procedure Act of March 31, 1860, gives full jurisdiction to this court in all cases of crimes and misdemeanors not exclusively triable in the oyer and terminer.

¶2Nor is there more merit in the exception relating to the commitment of the defendant to the workhouse, for such commitment is warranted by tbe Act of February 1, 1866.

¶3Judgment affirmed. A. B. W.

¶4On. sufficiency of indictment, see Genkinger v. Com., 32 Pa. 99.
