McNutt v. State
154 Tex. Crim. 124; 225 S.W.2d 834; 1950 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1978
McNutt v. State
Opinion of the Court
The unlawful possession of whisky for the purpose of sale is the offense; the punishment, a fine of $100.
The record is before us without bills of exception. The facts show that appellant was found in possession of four pints of whisky in Hockley County, a dry area.
This was sufficient, under the prima-facie-evidence rule, to authorize the jury to conclude that the whisky was possessed for the purpose of sale.
The judgment is affirmed.
Opinion approved by the Court.
