    PEOPLE v. SHAVER
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department.
    January 11, 1899.)
    Criminal Law—Sentence—Correction on Appeal.
    A sentence imposed by a court of special sessions may, on appeal, be corrected by adding thereto the place where accused shall be imprisoned, which the justice had failed to insert in the judgment.
    Appeal from court of special sessions, Delaware county.
    Agnes Shaver was convicted of violating the excise law, and she appeals.
    Affirmed.
    Argued before PARKER, P. J., and LANDON, HERRICK, PUTNAM, and MERWIN, JJ.
    J. K. P. Jackson, for appellant.
    W. F. White, for the People.
   PUTNAM, J.

In this case the questions raised are substantially the same as in People v. Shaver, 55 N. Y. Supp. 701. It was also claimed in this case that the original judgment and sentence was void for uncertainty, because it fixed no place of imprisonment; and that the court of sessions had no power to modify the judgment of a court of special sessions by adding the words, “in the county jail of Delaware county.” Under the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, I should say there could he no doubt as to the power of the court below to modify the judgment rendered by the justice by adding the words in question. I think the same disposition should be made of this case as in that of People v. Shaver.

Judgment of conviction affirmed. All concur.
