Samuel Adams, plaintiff in error, vs. The People, defendants in error.
    
      Judgment affirmed.
    
    George Wood and J. H. Baymond for plaintiff in error;
    Ogden Hoffman and J. McKeon for defendants in error.
   This case decided that an offence committed within this state by means of an innocent agent, the employer was guilty as a principal though he did no act in this state, and was at the time the offence was committed, in another state. It was no answer to the indictment that the defendant owed allegiance to another state or sovereignty. (Reported, 1 Comstock, 173.)
