That feature of the Dean Law (Acts 36th Leg. 1st & 2d Callen Sess. [1919] c. 78), making penal the possession of equipment for the purpose of manufacturing intoxicating liquor, having been repealed by ' its omission from the amended sections of said statute passed by the First Called Session of the Thirty-Seventh Legislature (Acts 37th Leg. 1st Called Sess. [1921] c. 61), under the numerous authorities we are compelled to reverse and dismiss the instant prosecution, and it is so ordered. Francis v. State (Tex. Cr. App.) 235 S. W. 580; Petit v. State.
