Decided 1950-01-11

DAVIDSON, Judge.

¶1The unlawful possession of whisky for the purpose of sale is the offense; the punishment, a fine of $100.

¶2The 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.

¶3This was sufficient, under the prima-facie-evidence rule, to authorize the jury to conclude that the whisky was possessed for the purpose of sale.

¶4The judgment is affirmed.

¶5Opinion approved by the Court.
