G5Hstffs' Sentences Pats From the
Tinae Of Commitment
Yesterday Attorney General J. n. MetcaIfe
sent the following letter 10 Hon. j. r. Ed.
Winston. secretary OF tbs penltentiary
commission at Wallis walla.
sgATrLe, April g.
DEAR Str Your letter of March 20 has
semaised unanswered for several days ow-
ing to the pressure ~ business. / ana OF
the opinion that Section c Of Chapter -
OF the laws of Washington territory for
1857 specifically desergzines the COM
mencenent of the term OF imprisonment
OF every person confined ia the PEN
itentIary, and that you are 70 be gov.
crned by tias section instead OF fhe com.
mifnient in allowing time served b. good
behavior. Yours very respectfully,
]. u. MErcALfF.
Attorney General
The letter from Mr. Edfainsson was an
inquiry as 70 when the term OF prisoner
began. IL had been hsld that the term
began at the date fled on the commit
naent- without regard 20 The time the
prisoner was turned over 10 che custody of
the warden and actually became an In
mate Of the reniientiary. II seems some
OF the commitments read that the time OF
Imprisonment shall run from the date on
The commitment, The letter was therefore
written By Mr. Edminsson 10 the attorney
general 60 shsterminc this delicate point,
Section 6 81 chapter y OF the general laws
OF Washington territory. which governs
this question. reads as follows
~ hen a aerson is sentenced 90 ifn-
rrisonmsnt Ira the penitentiary. HIS term
Of confinement therein commences from
the day OF his delivery as such prison To
The proper oIliner thereof, aud 40 time
during which such person Is voluntarily
sbsxas from surfi pentfentlary can be estIe
mated or counted IS a part of the term for
which saeh person Is sentenced"
FROM this it appears plain, rs the attog.
ney-geuersl holds. that the term OF con-
EneInent OF a prisoner Begins from the day
OF his entrance ia the penitenfiary.
