Opinion:
DAVIDSON, Judge.
The unlawful possession of whisky for the purpose of sale is the offense; the punishment, a fine of $100.
The record is before us without bills of exception. The facts show 'that appellant was found in possession of four pints of whisky -in Hockley County, a dry area.
This was sufficient, under the prima-facie-evidence rule, to authorize the jury to conclude that the whisky was possessed .for the purpose of sale.
The judgment is affirmed.
Opinion approved by t'he Court.
