Harwell, J.

1. In his motion for a continuance the defendant did ‍​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍not comply with all the requirements of the Penal Code (1910), § 987, necessary to make a complete showing, and, therefore, the ‍​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍court did not err in overruling , the motion.

2. The court correctly instructed the jury upon the theory of agency, raised ‍​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍by the defendant upon the trial, but the jury evidently rejected this theory and found the defendant to be the seller ‍​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍’ of the whisky.

3. There was evidence to authorize the verdict, and, it having been approved by the trial judge, this ‍​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‍court can not interfere.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, P. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
