I., was sentenced by the justice of the peace court of Malolos, Bulacan, to five months' imprisonment to be served in the provincial jail of Bulacan, for theft; and that said crime was committed in breach of the pardon granted to him prior to the date above mentioned, the precise condition of which pardon being that the accused should not thenceforth be convicted of any crime or bad conduct; with violation of law.
Upon said complaint the appellant was arrested and arraigned. Upon arraignment he plead guilty, and was sentenced to be returned to the Lolomboy Reformatory until he should reach his majority, or until the 31st day of January, 1919. From that sentence he appealed.chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library
