G.R. No. 12857. September 06, 1917
THE UNITED STATES, PLAINTIFF AND APPELLEE, VS. ALFREDO MANIQUIS, DEFENDANT AND APPELLANT.
JOHNSON, J.:
complaint alleged:
That said accused, on or about January 9, 1916, in the municipality of
Malolos, Province of Bulacan, P. I., was sentenced by the justice of the peace
court of Malolos, Bulacan, to five months’ imprisonment to be served in the
provincial jail of Bulacan, for theft; and that said crime was committed in
breach of the pardon granted to him prior to the date above mentioned, the
precise condition of which pardon being that the accused should not thenceforth
be convicted of any crime or bad conduct; with violation of
law.”
Upon said complaint the appellant was arrested and arraigned. Upon
arraignment he plead guilty, and was sentenced to be returned to the Lolomboy
Reformatory until he should reach his majority, or until the 31st day of
January, 1919. From that sentence he appealed.
In this court his attorney recommends an affirmation of the sentence of the
lower court. The Attorney-General recommends an affirmation of the sentence of
the lower court, with the modification that the appellant should be detained in
one of the reformatories established by the Government in the place of that of
Lolomboy.
An examination of the record discloses nothing upon which the decision of the
lower court may be modified.
The sentence of the lower court is, therefore, hereby affirmed with the
modification recommended by the Attorney-General, with costs. So ordered.
Arellano, C. J., Carson, Araullo, Street and Malcolm, JJ.,
concur.
