Supreme Court of Puerto Rico

Decided June 20, 1907

Supreme Court of Puerto Rico · decided 1907-06-20

<p>Appeal from the District Court of Humacao.</p> <p>The facts are stated in the opinion.</p>

Decided 1907-06-20

Mr. Justice Figueeas

¶1delivered the opinion of the court.

¶2This case originated in the Municipal Court of Caguas upon a complaint duly filed, and came on appeal to the Dis*45trict Court of Humacao, where a new trial was held resulting in the defendant, José Borges, being found guilty of a crime against public justice, which is surely that defined in section 139 of the Penal Code, and sentenced, on March 13, 1907, to pay a fine of $50, and the costs.

¶3An appeal was taken from this judgment to this Supreme Court; but no bill of exceptions or statement of facts has been presented, nor has the appellant even appeared here to sustain his appeal, all of which leads to' the presumption that his only purpose was to delay the execution of the judgment of conviction.

¶4For these reasons the judgment appealed from should be affirmed in every respect, as no error whatsoever appears to have been committed.

¶5Affirmed.

Chief Justice Quiñones and Justices Hernández, MacLeary and Wolf concurred.
