1Opinion of the Court
NOBLE, Justice.
The question presented is whether a trial court may reduce its sentence in a criminal case during the term at which it was imposed, but after the sentence has been partially served.
On April 24, 1956, following our opinion in State v. White, 61 N.M. 109, 295 P.2d 1019, affirming the judgment of the trial court on conviction of the defendant Allen White of second degree murder, a commitment was issued by this court. It is now contended that our commitment failed to follow the judgment and sentence of the trial court, and this motion seeks a correction of it.
