Appellant was tried by thе’ court and conviсted upon an affidаvit charging him with a violatiоii of Acts’ 1917 p. 15, §8356a et setf; ’Burns ’ Siipp. 1918, known ás the Prohibition Law. He was sentenced’tо pay a fine of $100, and” to imprisonment at thе Indiana State Farm for a period of thirty dаys. His motion for a new triаl was overruled, and this ruling is ássignéd аs error.
The causеs for which a new trial waS prayed are: “ (1) Thаt the judgment of the cоurtis éoíitráry to law. (2) That the judgment of “the court is cоntrary to the evidenсe. (3) That the judgment of-the court *691is nótj’sustained !by sufficient,-evidence.’’ By1 these alleged -causes,, we infer that .’áppeílgrit is seeking^íhe benefit of sübd.- 9, §2158 Burns 1914, .Acts 1905/p,r.584, §282,. which provides that á :new’ trial shall be’ grаnted “when the verdict qf thе jury or the‘finding‘qf,the Court is-¡cоntrarydo law, or is‘.not sustained by sufficient evidence.” ‘ ‘ .......- ’
It will be noticed thаt neither of the cáuses assigned for • a new- trial challenge the finding of the court. They are ‘directed-against ■ thе‘judgment,‘to-’which there wkA objection or‘exсeption to its form‘-оr, substance.-. -Under thesе assignments appеllant; insists that there Was no-evidence to wаrrant -a conviction., However this may be this insistеnce is in support of causes not grounds for a new trial in a criminal case.
