Appellant was convicted of drunkenness and his punishment assessed at a fine of $25.
The indictment charges drunkenness and disturbing the peace in two different counts. Appellant filed a motion to quash the indictment on this account. An indictment may contain several counts charging different misdemeanors. See Waddell v. State, 1 Texas Crim. App., 720, and section 404, subdivision 4, Code Crim. Proc.; also Alexander v. State, 27 Texas Crim. App., 533. *Page 551
Appellant insists the court erred in failing to require the county attorney to elect which count he would prosecute on. This does not apply in misdemeanor cases. Section 405, Code Crim. Proc., sub. 4; Brown v. State, 38 Tex.Crim. Rep..
The record contains a long rehearsal of supposed misconduct of the jury in the shape of evidence filed after term time. Evidence of this character must be filed during term time. See Black v. State, 41 Tex.Crim. Rep.,
The evidence in this case is quite conflicting as to whether or not there was any drunkenness or disorderly conduct, but this was a matter left to the discretion of the jury, and they have seen fit to believe the prosecuting witness. We are not authorized to disturb their finding.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
