Check Treatment

Appellant was convicted of the offense of selling intoxicating liquor, and appeals from the judgment, but no brief or argument has been presented here in his behalf. However, we examine the record to determine whether or not any of the assignments of error in the motion for a new trial are well founded.

One of the assignments is that the court erred in refusing to grant a continuance. The motion for a new trial sets forth a motion for continuance, but neither the motion nor any reference thereto appears anywhere else in the record. Hence there is nothing properly before us on that subject for review.

The only other assignment of error is that the evidence is not legally sufficient to sustain the verdict. A witness testified that he went to the home of appellant and there purchased from appellant a bottle of whiskey, that appellant sold and delivered the whiskey and received payment therefor in money. Two other witnesses testified that they accompanied the other witness to appellant's home, remained in the car about *Page 294 one hundred yards from the house, and saw said witness go into the house empty-handed and return in a few minutes with a bottle of whiskey. This testimony was sufficient to sustain the verdict.

Affirmed.
