Opinion

PELHAM, P. J.

A careful reading of the evidence set out in the bill of exceptions does not seem to the members of the court to show sufficient facts affording an inference of guilt of any crime charged against the defendant in the complaint, or affidavit, upon which he was tried, upon which to base, or justify, a finding and judgment of conviction.

It follows that the judgment of conviction, from which the appeal is prosecuted, must be reversed, and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
