1Opinion of the Court

THOMAS, Justice.

* The petition for writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals was filed by the State.

The several instructions given in writing and orally were in accord with the evidence in which there was no conflict. The fact recited by the Court of Appeals (172 So. 288) — “ * * * there was some evidence tending to prove that the beer found in the constructive possession of the defendant was not known to have been a prohibited beer by the defendant” — when considered with evidence of the defendant’s good character and when taken with the other evidence, did not create a conflict.
