¶1delivered the opinion of the court.
¶2Defendant was indicted for assault with intent to murder, and for assault with a deadly weapon, without any considerable provocation and under circumstances showing an abandoned and malignant heart, with intent to do bodily injury. To this indictment he pleaded not guilty, and a jury was impaneled and heard evidence, but before the trial was concluded, apparently by agreement between the attorneys for the defendant and the attorney representing the People, the jury was discharged. On motion of the State’s Attorney the felony charge in the indictment was waived. Thereupon the defendant withdrew his plea of not guilty and entered a plea saying that he was 11 guilty of assault with intent to do bodily injury in manner and form as charged therein. ’ ’ It was thereupon ‘ ‘ ordered and adjudged by the court that the defendant is guilty of the crime of assault with a deadly weapon, instrument or other thing, with intent to inflict upon the person of another a bodily injury where no considerable provocation appears, or where the circumstances of the assault show an abandoned „or malignant heart, upon the indictment, on the said plea of guilty,” and he was sentenced to be confined in jail for the term of one year and to pay a fine of $25 and costs, which, it is said, were taxed at $213.15.
¶3It is apparent that the plea entered by the defendant was only as to an assault with intent to do bodily injury, for which the statute provides that the punishment shall be a fine of not less than $3 nor more than $100. Upon this plea he was found guilty of a crime of a higher degree than he had confessed, and the sentence of punishment was larger than justified by his plea. Under this condition of the record it is clear that such a judgment, and sentence were improper. The judgment is therefore reversed and the cause remanded.
¶4Reversed and remanded.
