Head Matter:
17852.
Simmons v. The State.
Decided April 12, 1927.
B. E. Neal, for plaintiff in error.
J. F. Kelly, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Bboyles, C. J.
The accused was convicted of manufacturing intoxicating liquor. The evidence failed to establish that any whisky had been made at the distillery in question, or that the beer found there by the arresting officers was intoxicating. The verdict, therefore, was unauthorized, and the refusal to grant a new trial was error. See Walker v. State, 32 Ga. App. 18 (122 S. E. 645).
Judgment reversed.
Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
