Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Defendant's plea of guilty to the charge of violating section 4 of the Explosive Ordinance of the Town of North Hempstead (unlawful discharge of a firearm) barred, upon the ground of double jeopardy, a subsequent prosecution for the same offense under subdivision 4 of section 1904 of the Penal Law.
