Decided June 11, 1914

Alabama Court of Appeals · decided 1914-06-11

Heard before Hon. S. L. Brewer. Sam Walker was convicted of violating the prohibition laws, and he appeals. The specific charge was manufacturing prohibited liquors. The defendant’s plea was the pendency in the county court of Randolph county of a similar prosecution against him, commenced by warrant and affidavit, to answer which defendant had given bond.

Affirmed · Decided 1914-06-11

WALKER, P. J.

¶1No exception was reserved to the action of the court in striking the defendant’s plea set*199ting up the pendency of another prosecution for the same offense, and no ruling in reference to that plea is presented for review.

¶2There is no merit in any exception reserved to a ruling on evidence.

¶3The refusal to give the written charge requested by the defendant was not error. The evidence in the case was not such as to show without dispute that the place referred to in the charge was one at which the defendant, by virtue of ownership, or otherwise, had a right to be, whether his purpose in being there was a lawful or unlawful one. The charge involved the assertion of the existence of a fact not disclosed by undisputed evidence in the case, invaded the province of, the jury, and was well refused.

¶4Affirmed.
