Lead Opinion

The offense is possession of intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale; punishment, confinement in the penitentiary for one year.

The record is before us without any statement of facts or bills of exception. The indictment appears to be in proper form, and the charge of the court correctly presents the law.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.

The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the Court. *Page 556

Addendum

The affirmance of the case is questioned upon two grounds; first, that the indictment was defective; second, that the charge of the court was not sufficient. No defect in the indictment is pointed out or perceived. In the absence of an exception to the charge of the court, as required by Arts. 658 and 666, C. C. P., 1925, an inaccuracy in the charge would not be subject to review. Moreover, in the absence of the evidence before the trial court, this court would have no guide by which to determine the correctness of the charge as applied to the facts. It is the presumption of law, unless the contrary is shown, that the procedure followed by the trial court is correct.

The motion is overruled.

Overruled.
