Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Appellant, v. Joseph Anthony Lorenzo, Respondent.

Opinion:
Order of the County Court of Orange county dismissing indictment reversed upon the law, motion denied, and indictment reinstated. Section 290, subdivision 7, of the Highway Law does not repeal section 1620 of the Penal Law. (See Penal Law, § 2500.) Defendant may be prosecuted under either statute. The Legislature evidently intended that prosecutions for the offense alleged should be bad under subdivision 7 (supra) but its failure to expressly limit prosecutions for the offense specified in subdivision 7 to that statute permits of an indictment under section 1620 (supra). Lazansky, P. J., Rich, Young, Kapper and Seeger, JJ., concur.
