Coleman v. State

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.

MORROW, Presiding Judge.

— The motion is addressed to the criticism of the instruction given to the jury defining intoxicating liquor. In the evidence the liquid is described as home brew, and witnesses who drank some of it testified that it was intoxicating. Such evidence has been held competent on many occasions. See Joyce on Intoxicating Liquors, sec. 674; Terry v. State, 44 Tex. Crim. Rep. 411. Testimony was given describing the effect produced by drinking the liquid. This was also competent.
