Mr. BRooKE-Stokes on the 9th day OF January 1873,

Imprisonment Hereunder, and continued TO so suffer
imprisonment for the period of ten months, at the
expiration Of which period the Court OF Appeals
versed tho judgment OF the Oyer and Terminer for
error committed by the Court in that trial. The
record being RENTED upon such reversal the Court
OF original jurisdiction stokes was again, upon the same
Indictment brought TO the bar for trial The result OF
which tral-the third trial which he had had-was
conviction OF manslaughter in the third degree,
the maximum penalty for which offence IS
imprisonment in the State Prison for four
provides that prisoner whose conduct shall be unex-
cepuonable and who shall perform all the duties prop
erly assgnable 10 him by the prison authorities

To the petition for the Will is annexed
the certificate OF Stokes entiIlement this
tion or reduction; therefore Stokes absolutely being
entitled to be convicted only in the first instance OF the
crime OF which he was legally guilty, If guilty
OF any, should have been convicted of
mansaughter in the third degree and upon rendi-
ton OF proper judgment upon proper legal verdict
would Immediately have entered upon the service Of
his legal term OF Imprisonment TO the satisfaction of
the legal judgment The Court OF Appeals having de-
cided that the trial resulting in the verdict of murder
in the first degree was characterized by such
error TO induce It's reversal certainly Stokes should
not suffer for the error OF the Court and must
titled in equity and justice to credit for the restraint
and imprisonment imposed upon him by such illegal
judgment Of the Court which would make his term
