Rains v. State

Opinion of the Court

MORROW, Presiding Judge.

The conviction is for violating the tick law; punishment fixed at a fine of twenty-five dollars.

The only testimony which has been observed by us is to the effect that the cattle in question were the property of the wife of the appellant and that she and her son were their caretakers.

The averment in the information that the appellant was the owner and caretaker of the cattle is not sustained by the evidence.

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
