1Opinion of the Court

•Wade, J.

1. The conviction of the offense of selling intoxicating liquor was authorized by direct proof showing the commission of the crime by the accused at a time within two years prior to the finding of the indictment. Cripe v. State, 4 Ga. App. 832 (62 S. E. 567); Wheeler v. State, 4 Ga. App. 325 (61 S. E. 409); Johnson v. State, 7 Ga. App. 48 (66 S. E. 148).

2. While the evidence was weak, the jury found it sufficient and resolved all doubts against the defendant; and their verdict, having been approved by the trial judge, will not be set aside by this court.

Judgment affirmed.
