¶1The appellant appeals from a judgment convicting him of the offense of unlawfully possessing intoxicating liquor.
¶2The offense was committed prior to the enactment of chapter 61, Acts 37th Leg. 1st Called Sess., amending chapter 78 of the 36th Leg. 2d Called Sess. (Vernon’s Ann. Pen. Code Supp. 1922, arts. 588⅛ to 583¼a4) in which amendment the definition of the offense was changed. An indictment for the possession of intoxicating liquor under the present law can be maintained only where the- possession is for the purpose of sale. The insufficiency of the indictment charging the offense of which the appellant is convicted requires that the cause be reversed, and the prosecution dismissed. See Francis v. State, (Tex. Cr. App.) 235 S. W. 580; Ex parte Mitchum (Tex. Cr. App.) 237 S. W. 936, recently decided, but ’not yet [officially} reported.
