Syllabus

<p>Election law — Criminal law — Conspiracy—Election officers.</p> <p>1. Election officers may be indicted as individuals for a conspiracy to defraud as election officers, either by not counting the votes properly, or by adding names to the voters’ list, or by making a false return.</p> <p>Jury — Challenge—Criminal law.</p> <p>2. Where in a criminal case the commonwealth passes a juror under a wrong impression as to his name, and thereafter before the defendant has taken any initiative as to a challenge, the trial judge permits the commonwealth to reconsider the passing of the juror and to exercise the right to challenge, such action of the court cannot be used as a basis for assignment of error on an appeal from a conviction of the defendant.</p> <p>Criminal law — Arrest of judgment — Record—Assignment of error.</p> <p>3. An assignment of error from a refusal of a motion for arrest of judgment in a criminal case, will not be considered unless it is based on some matter appearing on the face of the record.</p>
