(1) On the principles declared in Watson v. State, infra, 39, 72 South. 569, and O’Rear v. State, 188 Ala. 75, 66 South. 82, the action of the court in qualifying the jury for the trial of this case was free from error.

(2) During the cross-examinatioin of the state’s witness Edgar Riley, a small boy, the court said to the defendant in the presence of the jury, “Cap, you quit looking at this witness and smiling.” The record recites, “The defendant at the time being smiling, making signs and faces at the witness.” Under the circumstances here shown, the remark of the court was proper, and the defendant has no grounds to complain.

(3) The defendant was indicted for maintaining an unlawful drinking place, and the prosecution was not limited to showing one sale; but it was “competent to prove any act of the defendant which under the law of the state constitutes the keeping of an unalwful drinking place.” — Acts Sp. Séss. 1909, p. 91, § 311/2-

(4-7) The evidence against the defendant was purely circumstantial, and it was competent to show that liquor was sold at defendant’s residence by defendant’s daughter, and that people had gone in the direction of -defendant’s house sober and come away from there drunk; and evidence tending to show that this condition of affairs had existed continuously for a period beyond the period within the statute of limitations and up to the time of the indictment or within the period covered by the indictment was admissible.- — Allison v. State, 1 Ala. App. 206, 55 South. 453; Lane v. City of Tuscaloosa, 12 Ala. App. 599, 67 South. 778. A sale or sales are ingredients, but not the statutory misdemeanor for which the defendant was tried. — Snider v. State, 59 Ala. 64.

(8) The testimony of Mrs. Holcombe that she gave the boy money and sent him to buy the liquor, and that soon thereafter he returned with the liquor, was competent in connection with the boy’s testimony that he bought the liquor at defendant’s house. — Spigener v. State, 11 Ala. App. 296, 66 South. 896.

This disposes of all the questions discussed in able brief of counsel for appellant, and we find nothing further requiring discussion.

Affirmed.
