GUY ANGLO, Defendant-Appellant. TRENT,
J :
An appeal by the defendant,
Guy Angco, from a judgment of the Court of First Instance of the
Province
of Isabela, condemning him to be confined in Bilibid Prison for the
period
of one year and one day, to be deported from the Philippine Islands,
and
to pay the costs of the cause.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge of violating The Opium Law, and on March 7, 1913, two witnesses were examined on behalf of the prosecution, who testified to the facts as alleged in the Information. A certified copy of a previous judgment of the same Court convicting him form part of the evidence. The case was then continued until the following morning, at which time, the defendant asked to be permitted to change his plea of "not guilty" and to plead "guilty," and to be deported to China. He told the Court that was the third time he had been convicted of the same offense. Appellant's counsel states:
The Attorney-General says:
We concur with the Attorney-General
and modify the judgment accordingly. A judgment directing the
deportation
of the appellant will be entered. Without costs in this instance.
