1Opinion of the Court
EARL, Ch. J.
The defendant was indicted for setting fire to the store occupied by her in the city of Syracuse on the 27th day of October, 1890. She was brought to trial in the court of sessions of Onondaga county in February, 1891, and was convicted of arson in the first degree, and was sentenced to the Onondaga Penitentiary for the term of fifteen years. Her conviction having been affirmed by the general term of the supreme court she then appealed to this court.
The learned counsel for the defendant has brought to our attention three grounds upon which he claims the judgment should be reversed.
