Criminal law, § 357*—when judgment will not be vacated for newly-discovered evidence. A motion to vacate a judgment of conviction in a criminal proceeding, on the ground of newly-discovered evidence, held properly denied, where it did not appear that the defendant did not have knowledge of the existence and materiality of such evidence at the time of his trial. 3. Criminal law, § 409*—when sufficiency of information open to review. An objection to the form of and signature to an information will not be reviewed on writ of error in the absence of a motion to quash or in arrest of judgment. 4. Criminal law, § 189*—when arrest and trial on same day not erroneous. Where a person, who was represented by counsel, was arrested, arraigned, tried and convicted on the same day of a malicious assault with a deadly weapon, the record held not to show that he did not have a fair trial, that he was denied the fullest opportunity to present his defense, or that he was deprived of any substantial right.
