Head Matter:
PHIPPS v. STATE.
(No. 12502.)
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
April 24, 1929.
Rehearing Denied May 29, 1929.
E. T. Miller, of Amarillo, for appellant.
A. A. Dawson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
CHRISTIAN, J.
The offense is possession of intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale; the punishment confinement in the penitentiary for two years.
Operating under a search warrant, officers searched a building which appellant was renting, and found therein a large quantity of whisky and beer. According to the testimony of the officers, appellant said the beer belonged to him, but declared that he had no interest in the whisky. The officers testified that they found in said building 15 half-gallon jars of corn whisky and 150 pint bottles of beer. There were some stone jars, a quantity of sugar, and many empty bottles in the building. We deem the evidence sufficient to support the conviction.
Several bills of exception are brought forward, which we are not authorized to consider, as they were filed too late. Appellant's motion for new trial was overruled November 20, 1928, and notice of appeal given on the same date. The court allowed appellant 80 days from November 20, 1928, in which to prepare and file bills of exception. The bills were not filed until February 9,1929 — 81 days from the date notice of appeal was given. No order of extension appears to have been entered. Article 760, C. C. P. 1925.
No -error being presented, -the judgment is affirmed.
PER CURIAM. The foregoing opinion of the Commission of Appeals has been examined by the judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals and approved by the court.
HAWKINS, J., absent.
