State v. Hines

Supreme Court of North Carolina
May 1, 1954
82 S.E.2d 118 (N.C. 1954)

Opinion

Filed 19 May, 1954.

APPEAL by defendants from Clifton, L. Moore, J., and a jury, at January-February Criminal Term, 1954, of ROBESON.

Attorney-General McMullan and Assistant Attorney-General Love for the State.

F. D. Hackett and Robert Weinstein for defendants, appellants.


Criminal prosecutions commenced by two warrants issued out of the Robeson County Recorder's Court, St. Paul's District, charging each defendant with possession of nontax-paid whiskey for the purpose of sale. From convictions and judgments in the Recorder's Court, the defendants appealed to the Superior Court, where, after consolidation of the cases for the purpose of trial, they were tried de novo upon the warrants.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty as charged as to each defendant, and from the judgments pronounced, both of them appealed to this Court.


This case involves no new question requiring extended discussion. A careful examination of the record leaves us with the impression it is free of prejudicial error. See S. v. Rainey, 236 N.C. 738, 741, 74 S.E.2d 39, 41; S. v. Honeycutt, 237 N.C. 595, 599, 75 S.E.2d 525, 527. The verdict and judgments will be upheld.

No error.
