Syllabus

<p>1. Criminal Law — Plea oe Guilty — Withdrawal.</p> <p>When in answering to an indictment containing two counts, one for burglary and one for larceny, the defendant pleads guilty of larceny, and the record shows that when he entered the plea he could not have been mistaken as to what he was doing, he will not be allowed to say that he acted in error.</p> <p>TEd. Note. — For cases in point, see Cent. Dig. vol. 14, Criminal Law, § 633.)</p> <p>2. Same — Advice oe Counsel.</p> <p>And it makes no difference that he had not had the advice of counsel, if he had not made any request that counsel be assigned him.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For cases in point, see Cent. Dig. vol. 14, Criminal Law, § 633.]</p> <p>3. Same — Arraignment.</p> <p>Though the rule is that in an arraignment the indictment should be read in full, yet if the formal concluding part, beginning “contrary to the form of the statute,” etc., be not read, this will not vitiate a sentence pronounced on a plea of guilty.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For cases in point, see Cent. Dig. vol. 14, Criminal Law, § 618.]</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
