Under the indictment the trial court was power *746 less to inflict any greater punishment than imprisonment for one year, as prescribed in the third subdivision of the section. The plaintiff in error, having served more than one year of the term for which he was imprisoned, is entitled to his discharge.

The judgment Is reversed, and it is ordered that the plaintiff in error be discharged from custody.
