1Opinion of the CourtLawrence, J.
It is too late to question the constitutionality of section 292 of the Penal. Code, and of chapter 309 of the Laws of 1892, amending the same. The opinion of Mr. Justice BEACH at the special term fully answers all the questions sought to he raised upon this appeal, and, concurring, as I do, in the views expressed by him, I am of the opinion that the order denying the motion of the relator for a writ of peremptory mandamus should be affirmed.
