The presumption that a wife who, on her' husband's premises, and in his presence,and with his knowledge, makes illegal.sales at retail of intoxicating liquors, does so as his agent, does not attach to such sales so made by a womanliving with a man as his concubine; and, to authorize the conviCtion of the man for such sales by the concubine. the jury must be satisfied, from the evidence, that she was acting as the agent of the. accused when she made the sales.
