Opinion
No. 19783.
Delivered May 25, 1938.
Liquor Control Act (Violation of) — Affirmance.
Where there was no properly authenticated statement of facts and Court of Criminal Appeals was unable to appraise the only bill of exceptions found in the record, because of the absence of such statement, and the proceedings appeared to be regular, conviction for violation of the Liquor Control Act was affirmed.
Appeal from the County Court of Somervell County. Hon. O. J. Covey, Judge.
Appeal from conviction for employing a person under the age of eighteen years to sell and dispense beer on premises where beer was licensed to be sold; penalty, fine of $25.
Affirmed.
The opinion states the case.
W. E. Myres, of Fort Worth, and E. T. Adams, of Glen Rose, for appellant.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State's Attorney, of Austin, for the State.
Appellant was charged with a violation of the Liquor Control Act in that he employed a person under the age of eighteen years to sell and dispense beer on premises where beer was licensed to be sold, etc. He was found guilty by a jury, and fined the sum of $25.00.
There is no properly authenticated statement of facts before us, and we are unable to appraise the only bill of exceptions found in the record on account of the absence of such statement.
The proceedings appear to be proper and regular, the offense charged being one denounced by the law, and we have no alternative other than to affirm the judgment, which is accordingly done.
