¶1The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Todd, J.

¶2We gather from the record in this ease that the defendant was prosecuted for inflicting a wound less than mayhem with *307intent to kill. He was not sentenced to any punishment for that or any other offense, or, if he was, the record contains no evidence of it.
