The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. Chief Justice Gary.

The defendant was indicted for assault and battery with intent to kill, and the jury rendered a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation of mercy, whereupon his Honor, the presiding Judge, sentenced him to serve five years, either upon the public works of the county, or in the State penitentiary.

The cases of State v. Jones, 86 S. C. 17, 67 S. E. 160, and State v. Miller, 88 S. C. 485, 70 S. E. 1061, show that the exceptions cannot be sustained.
