5058.
    Carswell v. The State.
    Decided October 21, 1913.
   Hill, C. J.

The accused was convicted, under an accusation in the city court, of the offense of drunkenness on church grounds. The evidence shows that he had a bottle containing a small quantity of whisky, but there is no evidence whatever that he was in a condition of drunkenness while on the church grounds. His conviction was therefore unauthorized.

Judgment reversed.

Accusation of misdemeanor; from city court of Dublin — Judge Hicks. June 30, 1913.

Hal B. Wimberly, for plaintiff in error.

George B. Davis, solicitor, contra.
