Head Matter:
JOSEPH B. DALEY, Plaintiff in Error, v. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Defendants in Error.
Evidence of wife against husband—when objection must be taken.
Certiorari to review the conviction of the plaintiff in error by a police justice of the city of Brooklyn for an abandonment, and for a threatened abandonment of his wife, in pursuance of chapter 395, Laws of 1871.
