¶1A careful consideration of the points urged upon this appeal discloses no sufficient reason for reversing the judgment. The appellant was arrested without a warrant, during a fight which occurred in his establishment in the city of Poughkeepsie, and was charged with keeping a house “ for the resort of. prostitutes, drunkards, tip- ■ piers, gamesters or other disorderly persons,” which, under the provisions of section 899 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as well *302as of the charter of the city of Poughkeepsie (Laws of 1896,. chap. 425, § 138), constitutes a disorderly person.
¶2The charter gives the Recorder’s Court jurisdiction to try cases of this character, and we are of opinion that the appellant had no constitutional right to a trial by jury. (People ex rel. Comaford v. Dutcher, 83 N. Y. 240.)
¶3The evidence on which the appellant was convicted was clearly sufficient for that purpose, and whether the officer who arrested him should have had a warrant does not affect the .question of his conviction after he was once within the jurisdiction of the court.
¶4“ The general rule is,” says Mr. Justice Cullen in People v. Eberspacher (79 Hun, 410), “ that it is no defense to a criminal prosecution that the defendant was illegally or forcibly brought-within the jurisdiction of the court.”
¶5The appellant has his remedy, if he has been wronged, against the “ officer who has acted under void process, or who has exceeded Ms powers.” (Crocker Sheriffs [3d ed.], 35.)
¶6The judgment appealed from should be affirmed, with costs.
¶7All concurred.
¶8Judgment of conviction affirmed.
