43 So. 137 | Ala. | 1907
The bill of exceptions recites that a demurrer Avas overruled to the affidavit. The record does not sIioav any demurrer or ruling thereon by the court, otherwise than by the recital in the bill of exceptions. This is insufficient to present the question for revieAv on appeal. — McQueen v. State, 138 Ala. 63, 35 South. 39; Broadhead v. State, (Ala.) 40 South 216, and cases there cited.
On the authority of Farrall v. State, 32 Ala. 557, and Freiberg v. State, 94 Ala. 91, 10. South. 703, and the reasons there stated, the burden of proof was not on the state to prove the negative averment in the affidavit. This was matter of defense particularly within the knowledge of the defendant.
We find no error in the record, and the judgment will be affirmed.
Affirmed.
