Walton v. State

Mississippi Supreme Court

Decided November 23, 1953No. 38893PublishedCited by 10 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtHall, J.

Appellant was charged in the justice court with the unlawful distribution of beer in a county where an election had been held and beer outlawed. On conviction he appealed to the circuit court where he was again convicted, and he appeals here.

It is contended first that the lower court erred in overruling a demurrer to the affidavit for the reason that the affidavit did not charge the per cent of alcoholic content of the beer, and it is contended secondly that a peremptory instruction should have been granted because the proof did not disclose the alcoholic content of the beer in question.
