Opinion

Worden, J.

Information against the appellant for selling intoxicating liquor to James H. Bock, the latter being a minor. Trial and conviction.

The case is before us on the evidence. There is no evidence in the record that Bock was a minor. This element in the case should have been, but was not, proved. A motion which was made for a new trial should have prevailed.

The judgment below is reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.
