    Error to Kent.
    Submitted June 22.
    -Decided October 6.
    Information for “grand larceny.” Respondent brings error.
    Reversed.
    Prisoner discharged.
    
      Gibson & Parkinson for plaintiff in error.
    Attorney-General Otto Kirchner for the people.
   Marston, C. J.

This case comes clearly within Edwards v. People 89 Mich. 760. The information was sworn to December 26, 1878, and on the' same day the. respondent was arraigned, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced, and there is nothing in the record showing, or from which it can be inferred, that any examination, such as the act of 1875 contemplates, was had.

The júdgment must therefore be reversed and the prisoner -discharged.

The other Justices concurred.
