B. E. SAEEOLD, J.

The indictment contained three counts, two of which charged the defendant with ‍​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‍selling vinous or spirituous liquors without license, in the form prescribed by the Eevised Code for the offense described in section 3618. The demurrer to it was properly ‍​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‍overruled.

We have decided that section 3618 was not repealed by the revenue act of 1868. — Mulvey v. The State, 43 Ala. 316 ; Campbell v. The State, at present term.

The evidence shows that the ‍​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‍defendant, having a license as a wholesale dealer in liquors, &e., sold the liquors on some occasions in quantities less than a quart, and on others, that it was drank ‍​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‍on his premises. He was therefore subject to be deemed a retail dealer. — Acts 1868, Rev. Law, § 112, subv. 4, 5. The defendant was not entitled to ‍​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‍the charge, that he could not be convicted under the evidence.

The judgment is affirmed.
