The bill of exceptions in this case recites that the defendant was convicted in the criminal court of Fulton County of "the offense of violating the lottery laws of said State" and assigns error on the judgment of the superior-court judge overruling the defendant's certiorari. The record conclusively shows that the accused was convicted of the offense "of violating the revenue-tax act to legalize and control alcoholic beverages and liquors," and not of the offense of lottery. It is well-settled law that where there is a conflict between the allegations of the bill of exceptions and the record the record controls. There being no proper bill of exceptions, this court is without jurisdiction to decide the case, and the writ of error must be.
