Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law. Sentence suspended in part. Second punishment.</p> <p>Where one, being convicted, is liable to be sentenced to a pay a fine and costs, and the court, without objection (and presumably by his consent) suspends sentence except as to costs, and orders that the defendant stand committed until the costs are paid, it is competent at a future term to impose sentence of the fine and additional costs accrued. This is not a second punishment for the offense.</p>
