Opinion of the Court
This is a conviction for selling whisky in a dry area; the punishment, a fine of $150 and 30 days in jail.
The undisputed evidence shows that the appellant acted as the agent of the purchaser in buying the whisky, rather than as the seller of the whisky, as alleged in the information.
Such facts do not warrant the conviction for selling whisky. Harris v. State, 155 Tex. Cr. R. 180, 233 S. W. 2d 123; Branch’s P. C., Sec. 1248.
