¶4The defendant was put upon trial, found, guilty and fined in the sum of twenty-five dollars.. He moved for anew trial, but his motion was overruled,, and he excepted.
¶5The evidence is in the record, and, assuming that the defendant was tried for selling intoxicating liquor without license, the evidence did not sustain the finding. The evidence generally was vague and. indefinite, and it was radically defective in not showing the time when the liquor was sold. The precise time need not have been shown, but it should have been shown that the liquor was sold so recently as that the prosecution was not barred.by *208tlie statute of limitations. This was not done, and the defendant was entitled to a new trial.

¶7Ho valid judgment could have been rendered against the defendant, without any charge against him.
¶8The judgment below is reversed, and the cause remanded.
