Wm. G. MeCrea, for applicants. John R. Fellows, Dist. Atty., for the People.

Per Curiam.
The forfeiture of the recognizance herein should be vacated, and canceled, as after the default the principal appeared and pleaded guilty, and was fined, which fine was paid, and the people have lost no rights by the first default.
