THE UNITED STATES, PLAINTIFF AND APPELLEE, VS. SILVESTRE JUAN CHUA PANGCO, DEFENDANT AND APPELLANT.
D E C I S I O N
Defendant was convicted of a violation of The Opium Law ans sentenced to pay a fine P150, and in case of insolvency to suffer subsidiary imprisonment at the rate of P2.50 per day. The offense was committed before the enactment of Act No. 1910, fixing a minimum penalty for such offenses, for which reason it is not deemed proper to change the penalty which, under the former law, was within the discretion of the trial court. Judgment affirmed.
