Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS^ BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Criminal Procedure— Cherokee County Act Construed. Under section 5 of chapter 156, Laws of 1901, a justice of the peace, before whom one has been convicted of the commission of a misdemeanor, is required to designate whether ah appeal taken from such conviction shall be to the district' court ‘1 sitting at Columbus,” or “sitting at Galena.”</p> <p>2. - Indorsement of Witness on Complaint. Permission to indorse a witness’s name on a complaint in a criminal action is the exercise of discretion in the district court, and, where it does not appear that by so doing the court abused its discretion, it will not be held to be error, even though the court violated its own rule in so doing.</p> <p>3. - Separation of Jurors. It is not prejudicial error for the court to ask of the defendant in a criminal action, in the , presence and hearing of the jury, if he has any objection to the ,. jurors’ separating for the purpose of going to their meals.</p>
