On Rehearing.
This prosecution was begun in the county court by affidavit and warrant charging that defendant did buy, sell, or have in his possession illegally, etc., prohibited liquors, etc., contrary to law, on March 17, 1934. In the county court he was convicted, and from that judgment he appealed to the circuit court, where the solicitor filed a complaint corresponding with the original affidavit, except that it omitted the date of March 17, 1934.
The filing of the solicitor’s complaint was unnecessary by reason of section 4646, Code 1923, and added to and took nothing away from the original complaint. The charge, therefore, was the same in the circuit court as it was in the county court. Moreover, there was no pleading or reserved exceptions raising this point.
If there was a variance between the allegations of the charge and the proof, such questions should have been raised by the general charge, which was not done.
Application overruled.
