judges; P. Walton, clerk.
T. A. Hasler g. Co. VS.. s. G. Smith,
from Bastrop. l. The court charged
the jury that there was no evidence
for plaintiff and Therefore they would
find for defendant. This was correct
under the evidence in the case, and it
was not error to so charge. The fact
that an agent was in charge and man
agement Of the store to sell goods does
not carry with it the power to borrow
money for, and execute notes in the
name OF his principal. Affirmed
Per curiam.
Geo. w. Caldwell VS.. The State,
from Wilbarger. |. The evidence is
sufficient. Bills of exception show no
error. The complaint is good and
there is no reversible error. Affirmed.
Per curiam.

Baylor. Selling liquor on Sunday. l.
Though conflicting the evidence is
sufficient. No error complained of

FreestOne. Assaults to murder. l.

quested charges. Affirmed. Per cur
lam.

Greer. Keeping and exhibiting a
gaming table. l. We can see no in

Facts sustain the conviction. Con-
tin properly overruled. Bills of

any merit and the testimony was
properly admitted. 1t shows intent
and was part of the res gestae. At
frmed. Per curiam.

reversible error in the charge. The
facts are sufficient and there was no
error in permitting Stovall to testify.
