Opinion

MORROW, Presiding Judge.

—The conviction is for the unlawful possession of equipment for the manufacture of intoxicating liquor.

The conviction cannot stand for the reason that the act denouncing the offense was repealed, and under Article 16 of the Penal Code, the prosecution must abate. Cox v. State, 90 Texas Crim. Rep. 256 and 234 S. W. Rep. 531.

The judgment is reversed and the prosecution ordered dismissed.

Reversed and dismissed.
