This is an appeal from Detroit recorder’s court. Defendant was arrested on November 28, 1965, and held until June 1, 1966, a total of 186 days. On March 3, 1967, the defendant was convicted by a jury of assault with intent to commit rape, and was sentenced to a term of 5 to 10 years at the State prison, less credit for 84 days for the time previously spent in custody. Forty-five days after the verdict, counsel on appeal was appointed. Defense counsel complains that the period in which the defendant may file a motion for new trial has passed.

“Motions for new trials shall be made within 30 days after verdict.” CL 1948, § 770.2 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.1099).

True, the statutory time allowing motion for new trial as a matter of right has passed. However, the statute is not of a jurisdictional nature.

“The people’s brief also contends that the superior court has lost jurisdiction to grant the motion considered herein through passage of time. We do not agree.
“Under Michigan law there is no final time limitation * * * to grant a motion for new trial. Such motions are heard as a matter of right only when filed within 20 days. * * * But the granting of long-delayed motions for new trial is within the inherent power of the court where leave to file such a motion is first obtained.” People v. Barrows (1959), 358 Mich 267, 273.

Application for leave to move for new trial, pursuant to CL 1948, § 770.1 (Stat Arm 1954 Rev § 28.1098), is not apparent in the record of this case. On the issue raised as basis for the new trial we will not substitute our judgment for that of the trial court.

The trial court properly allowed credit for jail time, under PA 1927, No 175, ch 9, § lib, as added by PA 1965, No 73 (MOLA § 769.11b, Stat Ann 1968 Cum Supp § 28.1083 [2]). The defendant in this case was in jail awaiting trial on another case in the recorder’s court of the city of Detroit, being case No. A-123997. The complaint in this case was lodged on September 21, 1965, and he was held on that complaint from that time on. For this period the trial court gave credit for time served. We pass no judgment here as to the credit due defendant on the sentence in the event he is or was convicted in the other case.

We find no error and affirm the conviction. This is without prejudice to the defendant to seek leave of the trial court for purposes of making post-conviction motions.

Affirmed.
