Opinion:
Champlin, J.
Respondent was tried upon an information charging him with committing an assault upon a constable with intent thereby to resist the officer in the service of an execution. The jury found the defendant guilty of a simple assault. The questions raised by the respondent, in consequence of the verdict of the jury, become unimportant, and therefore the circuit court is advised to proceed to judgment upon the verdict.
The other Justices concurred.
