¶2Motions respectively to quash, and in arrest, overruled.

¶3The indictment charged the appellant with having sold one gill of intoxicating liquor on Sunday, but did not allege that it was sold “ to be drunk as a beverage.” The indictment was fatally defective, for want of such allegation. This point was settled by the case of Dowdell v. The State, 58 Ind. 333.

¶4Some other points are made by the counsel for the appellant, but it is sufficient to say,-that, for the reason above stated, the judgment below must be reversed.

¶5The judgment below is reversed, with instructions to the court below to quash the indictment.
