Redding v. Phenix City

Opinion of the Court

RICE, J.

In a prosecution for the violation of the terms of a city ordinance, except in certain specified cases, of which this is not one (Acts 1915, p. 294), it is essential that the ordinance in question, properly authenticated, be introduced in evidence. Smith v. Town of Eclectic, 18 Ala. App. 329, 92 So. 212. This was not done in this case, and for that reason the judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
