   MERRITT, J.

The defendant in this case was convicted of a violation of the prohibition law, and he appeals.

There is no bill o'f exceptions, and the time for filing one has expired. We find no error in the record, and the judgment appealed from is affirmed.

Affirmed.

On Rehearing.

PER CURIAM.

Insistence is made on rehearing for the first time that this case should be reversed, because the defendant was denied a jury trial after demand made.

The only evidence in the record that such demand was made appears to be signed by T. J. Touart, without further designation, nor does the record disclose that the said Touart had authority to or was in any way representing the" defendant. On the contrary, the judgment entry recites that, “no jury trial having been demanded by the defendant, this cause is tried by the court.” The recitals in the judgment entry, under the facts as appear from this "record, would govern.

The application for rehearing is overruled:
