Head Matter:
Amsden v. The State.
From the Henry Circuit Court.
D. W. Chambers and E. Saint, for appellant.
C. A. Bushirh, Attorney General, for the State.

Opinion:
Worden, J.
Information against the appellant for selling intoxicating liquor to James H. Bock, the latter being a minor. Trial and conviction.
The case is before us on the evidence. There is no evidence in the record that Bock was a minor. This element in the case should have been, but was not, proved. A motion which was made for a new trial should have prevailed.
The judgment below is reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.
