Short v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court

Opinion op the Court by

Judge Carroll

Reversing.

There is no evidence even tending to show that the offense charged of selling liquor in Knott County was committed in that county or that it was committed within one year next before the finding of the indictment, and so the motion for a new trial should have been granted and a new trial ordered.

Judgment reversed.
