GILBERT, Circuit Judge.

The writ of error here presents the question whether evidence relating to a large quantity of intoxicating liquor seized by federal prohibition ag’ents was admitted in violation of the constitutional rights of the plaintiffs in error. The seizure was made under a search warrant, but the sustaining affidavit for the warrant was insufficient to justify its issuance.

We are of the opinion that, under the circumstances disclosed in the evidence, a search warrant was unnecessary, and that the ease discloses no unreasonable search or seizure. The seizure was made in a garage, which the plaintiffs in error occupied under a lease. The garage was the basement of a dwelling house, with which it was wholly unconnected, and which was leased to and occupied by other tenants. So far as it concerns this ease, the garage was in the position of a detached building, occupied and used only for garage purposes. The prohibition agents had information that it was used by persons “engaged in bootlegging business exclusively.” On the day of the seizure the officers, after watching the premises for about four hours, saw the plaintiffs in error approach the garage from the north in an automobile, which was covered with mud and heavily loaded, and saw them enter the garage with the automobile, and knew that immediately they locked the doors. The officers knocked, the doors were opened, and the officers went in, and, seeing the liquor in the car, they seized it.

With the knowledge which they possessed of the apparent violation of the law, the officers would have been justified in intercepting the automobile and searching it before it entered the garage. Milam v. United States (C. C. A.) 296 F. 629; United States v. Fenton (D. C.) 268 F. 221; United States v. Bateman (D. C.) 278 F. 231; United *533 States v. Rembert (D. C.) 284 F. 996; Ash v. United States (C. C. A.) 299 F. 277. We cannot see that their anthority to make the seizure was diminished by the fact that the automobile was taken into the garage. A garage, such as that in question here, is not a “house,” within the protection of tho constitutional amendment. It is no more immune from search than would be a bam or other outbuilding. In United States v. McBride (D. C.) 287 F. 214, it was held that the prohibition against unreasonable search is not violated by the search of a stable. In the arrival of the automobile, mud-covered and heavily laden, coming from tho north, the source of supply of liquors, and the prompt locking of the doors from the inside as soon as the automobile entered the garage, the officers had visual evidence of; the commission of a crime in their presence.

We And no merit in the contention that the charge of possession is included in tho charge of transportation, or that the plaintiffs in error could not be held to answer for both. The evidence to prove possession would not be snfAcient to sustain the charge of transportation. Gavieres v. United States, 220 U. S. 338, 31 S. Ct. 421, 55 L. Ed. 489. Possession and transportation of intoxicating liquors are distinct offenses, and the law penalizes both. Bell v. United Slates (C. C. A.) 285 F. 145; Massey v. United States (C. C. A.) 281 F. 295; Singer v. United States (C. C. A.) 288 F. 695.

The judgment is affirmed.
