¶1Julian Hartridge, Savannah, Ga., for appellants.

¶2Fred S. Clark, Asst. U. S. Atty., Savannah, Ga., Donald H. Fraser, U. S. Atty., Savannah, Ga., for appellee.

¶3Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, THORNBERRY, Circuit Judge, and LYNNE, District Judge.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5The evidence adduced in the trial of this case was ample to submit to the jury the question whether appellant violated the stated provisions of Internal Revenue laws relating to liquor. We conclude that the trial court could properly take judicial notice of the fact that Skidaway Island was in the Southern District of Georgia. Weaver v. United States, (5 Cir.) 298 F.2d 496, 499. It was not necessary that the Government adduce proof to this effect.

¶6The judgment is affirmed.
