269 S.W.2d 383

Sillemon v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · decided 1954-05-26

Relies on 160 Tex. Crim. 350 - Sillemon v. State

Decided 1954-05-26

MORRISON, Judge.

¶1The offense is the sale of whiskey in a dry area; the punishment, 60 days in jail and a fine of $500.

¶2This is a companion case to No. 27,005, Tex.Cr.App., 269 S.W.2d 382, in that this prosecution arose out of a different sale of whiskey to the same witness at a different hour on the same day.

¶3*384Appellant’s contentions are the same and will not he here discussed except as follows: In his motion for new trial appellant alleges that three of the jurors who convicted him in this cause had served on the jury in Cause No. 27,005.

¶4We do not find that the appellant challenged these jurors for cause, or otherwise excepted to the court’s action in refusing to excuse such jurors, because of their having served and convicted appellant in the other case on the same day.

¶5Since there is no ruling of the court which we may here review, we have no alternative but to affirm the conviction.

¶6The judgment is affirmed.
