Lead Opinion
Per Curiam.

It is not disputed that the court of sessions had power to modify the sentence of the court of special sessions. We think, therefore, that although the defendant pleaded guilty, yet he had the right to have the court of sessions exercise its discretion as to the sentence. The order dismissing the appeal is reversed.
