Proceeding on information by The People of the State of Illinois against Mary Lachota for abetting and conniving in the delinquency and dependency of her minor child. A judgment of conviction was entered on a plea of guilty, which judgment defendant attempted to have vacated on the ground of a variance between the information and the judgment. The motion to vacate being denied, she brings error.

Mr. Presiding Justice Smith

delivered the opinion of the court.

*2022. Cbimmal law, § 409 * —how variance between information and judgment raised. A motion to vacate a judgment entered on a plea of guilty raises the question as to whether defendant was adjudged guilty of the offense charged in the information.
