State v. Smigelski

Supreme Court of New Jersey
Oct 18, 1948
1 N.J. 31 (N.J. 1948)

Opinion

Argued October 11, 1948 —

Decided October 18, 1948.

Mr. Anthony A. Calandra argued the cause for prosecutor-appellant.

Mr. Horace K. Roberson and Mr. William P. Gannon filed a brief for the defendant-respondent.


The appellant seeks to quash the indictment or in the alternative to transfer it to the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court of Hudson County. The appeal must be dismissed because the record shows no final judgment in the Supreme Court but merely a dismissal of the writ in question. State v. Ireland, 127 N.J. Law 558 (E. A. 1942).

However, we examined the case upon its merits and have concluded that it is controlled by In re Mei, 122 N.J. Eq. 125 (E. A. 1937).

The appeal is dismissed.

For dismissal: Chief Justice VANDERBILT and Justices CASE, HEHER, OLIPHANT, WACHENFELD, BURLING, and ACKERSON — 7.

Opposed: None.
