KRUEGER, Judge.

¶1The appellant was tried and convicted of the offense of unlawfully selling spirituous liquor capable of producing intoxication, and his punishment was assessed at confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of one year.

¶2This prosecution was had under what is commonly known as the “Dean Law” (Pen. Code 1925, art. 666 et seq., as amended), which has since been repealed (Vernon’s Ann.P.C. art. 666 — 49). Therefore it becomes our duty, under the decision of this court in the-case of Meadows v. State, 88 S.W.(2d) 481, recently decided, to reverse and dismiss this prosecution, and it is so ordered.

¶3The judgment is reversed and the prosecution ordered dismissed.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
