As to the degree of materiality, it is enough if it is circumstantially material, though not by itself sufficient to establish the issue.</p> <p>3. The form of the sentence of a prisoner convicted of a crime, the punishment, for which is imprisonment in the State Prison for any term,.should be “that he be imprisoned by confinement at hard labor,” unless the court shall otherwise order as provided by law.
