      Sunbury, Saturday, July 15.
    IN ERROR.
    THE plaintiff in error was convicted of adultery in the Quarter Sessions of Luzerne, and sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars, be imprisoned at hard labour three months, and pay the costs.
    Judgment in a notTeversetlin part,
    
      Evans for the plaintiff in error
    said the judgment was manifestly erroneous, because the punishment by law for adultery was a fine, and simple imprisonment. 3 St. Laws 115, sec. 7.
    
    
      Hall
    
    for the Commonwealth answered that a judgment might be affirmed in part, and reversed in part. 2 Bac. Abr. 501. Error M. The sentence was good as to the fine.
   Per Curiam.

Let the whole judgment be reversed.
