State v. Ingram
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided November 30, 1955 · Per Curiam
90 S.E.2d 304; 243 N.C. 190; 1955 N.C. LEXIS 552 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Ingram

Opinion

Pek Curiam.

The State’s evidence tends to show that officers, under authority of a search warrant, found a quantity of tax-paid whiskey in defendant’s possession, in her home; and there was plenary evidence that she had it for the purpose of sale. The ruling that the evidence was sufficient for submission to the jury was. correct. Moreover, defendant’s assignments of error challenging the rulings of the court in admitting certain of the testimony offered by the State are without merit. The trial and verdict are upheld.

However, since defendant promptly excepted thereto and appealed therefrom, the conditional judgment pronounced was not based on defendant’s consent, express or implied. Hence, for the reasons stated by Winborne, J., in S. v. Ritchie, ante, 182, the judgment is stricken out and the cause is remanded for the pronouncement of a new judgment.

Error and remanded.
