Lead Opinion

LATTIMORE, J.

Conviction for permitting a gaming device to remain in a building in possession of ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‍appellant to be used for gaming purposes; punishment, thirty days in the county jail.

We find in this record no statement of facts or bills of exception. By the terms of article 630 ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‍of our Penal Code, it is provided that, if any person shall knowingly permit any gaming device to remain in his possession or on premises under his control to be used for ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‍gaming purposes, -he shall be imprisoned in jail not less than thirty days nor more than one‘year. The information in this case sufficiently charges the offense, and is followed by the ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‍judgment.

No error appearing, the judgment will be affirmed.

Upon the authority of the case mentioned, the motion for rehearing is overruled.
