Head Matter:
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Defendant in Error, v. WILLIAM CLARK, Plaintiff in Error.
Writ of error to the Court of Sessions of the county of Erie. Clark was indicted jointly with one George Taylor for burglary. The prosecution gave some evidence to connect, the prisoner with Taylor in the commission of the offense, which was submitted to the jury without objection. Evidence was also given to show that the burglarious implements found at the place of the burglary were made at Rochester for Taylor. This evidence was objected to. This court was of opinion that such evidence was pertinent to prove the guilt of the prisoner. The court refused to pass upon the question, whether the evidence as to Taylor’s connection with Clark ivas sufficient to implicate him, as it did not appear that all the evidence given on the trial was before it.
Cook & Fitzgerald, for the plaintiff in error.
Benj. H. Williams, district attorney, for the defendant in error.
