App. 195 (58 S. E. 265). This may be shown directly or circumstantially. See Central Ry. Co. v. Ross, 107 Ga. 74 (32 S. E. 904). There is no evidence of any character in the record as to whether the road upon which the defendant was alleged to have been intoxicated was a public highway or not. . Judgment reversed.
