People v. Black ( 1915 )

Order of the city magistrate, and order and judgment of conviction of the County Court of Kings county, reversed, and proceedings dismissed, upon the ground that no legal abandonment of defendant’s child appeared, or proof that such child was likely to become a public charge.
