Shuffield v. State
Shuffield v. State
Opinion of the Court
The offense is transporting intoxicating liquor; the punishment, confinement in the-penitentiary for one year.
Omitting the formal parts, we quote the indictment as follows: βOn or about the 27th day of December A. D. 1933, and anterior to the presentment of this indictment, in the county and state aforesaid C. H. Shuffield did then and there unlawfully transport liquor capable of producing intoxication.β
The indictment is fundamentally defective for the reasons stated in Bob Offield v. State (Tex. Cr. App.) 75 S.W.(2d) 882, opinion on motion for rehearing, this day delivered.
The judgment is reversed, and the prosecution ordered dismissed.
PER CURIAM.
The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
