NELSEY v. STATE.
    No. 16532.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
    March 21, 1934.
    David E. Hume, of Eagle Pass, for appellant.
    Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin,, for the State.
   LATTIMORE, Judge.

Conviction for trespassing; punishment, a fine of $100.

It is charged in the complaint that appellant, about the 21st of November, 1933, in the-county of Maverick and state of Texas, unlawfully entered upon the inclosed land of Mack Burleson, without the consent of the owner, proprietor, or agent in charge of said land, and did therein hunt with firearms.

Our attention is attracted to the fact that there is not the slightest evidence of want of' consent on thé part of the owner of the inclosed premises. For this law to be violated, the hunting or fishing must be without the-consent of the owner.

The prosecution will 'be reversed, and the cause remanded.
