MERRITT, J.
[1] The defendant appeals from a conviction in the circuit court of Mobile county, where he was charged with a violation of the prohibition laws. Prosecution was begun by a complaint filed in the inferior court of Mobile, and from a conviction in that court the defendant appealed to the circuit court. No bill of exceptions appears in the record, and the cause is presented for review on the record. It does, however, appear from the record that in the circuit court the defendant filed a plea of •former jeopardy, to which demurrers were interposed and sustained. The court was clearly right in sustaining the demurrers, for the plea did not disclose that the offense charged in the affidavit was the same as the one alleged in the plea, and the same offense for which the defendant had already been tried.
An examination of the entire record discloses that the proceedings were regular, ancf that the defendant was legally tried, convicted, and sentenced; and, this so appearing, the judgment must be affirmed.
Affirmed.
