1Opinion of the Court
Wilson, Judge.
Since the conviction in this case was obtained, the town of Waxahachie, in which the alleged offense was committed, has, by a legal election, repealed the local option law within the limits of said town. This court has decided that it is within the power of the qualified voters of a justice’s precinct, town or city, to repeal the local option law within the limits of such precinct, town or city, in the manner provided by law, notwithstanding said law has been adopted and is in force *413throughout the county. (Whisenhunt v. The State, 18 Texas Ct. App., 491.)
