113 S.E 119

State v. Andrews

Supreme Court of South Carolina

Decided July 5, 1922

Supreme Court of South Carolina · decided 1922-07-05

Decided 1922-07-05

¶1 The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. Justice Cothran.

¶2 Indictment for violation of the Prohibition Law. From verdict of guilty and judgment, defendant appeals.

¶3*400 The first five exceptions charge error in the refusal of the defendant’s motion for a new trial upon various grounds. As the record for appeal does not show that the motion for a new trial was made upon any of the grounds set forth in the exceptions, it does not appear that said grounds were passed upon by the Circuit Judge; the exceptions cannot therefore be considered.

¶4 The sixth exception charges error in allowing the sheriff to testify that' the detectives turned over to him a quart of whiskey, the night of the arrest. The testimony was introduced in corroboration of the testimony of the detectives that they had secured a bottle of whiskey from the defendant and was admitted for that purpose.

¶5 The judgment of this Court is that the judgment of' the Circuit Court be affirmed.
