Opinion op the Court by

Judge Clay

Affirming.

This is an appeal from a judgment convicting appellant ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‍of the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor.

The ground on which a reversal is asked is that all the evidence tending to show appellant’s guilt was obtained by an ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‍illegal search of his person. We have carefully examined the record and find that appellant did not object to the evidence complained of or move to exclude ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‍it. All that he did was to ask for a peremptory instruction. It is well settled that a request for a peremptory which challenges merely‘the sufficiency of ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‍the evidence will not raise the question of admissibility, and that, in the absence of objection and exception, or motion to exclude; error in the admission of evidence ‍​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‍is not available on appeal.

Judgment affirmed.
