117 So. 157 (Ala. 1928)

Opinion

8 Div. 27.

May 24, 1928.

Stell Quillin, of Russellville, for appellant.

It was error to overrule the motion for new trial. Barker v. State, 20 Ala. App. 564, 103 So. 914; Plyler v. State, 21 Ala. App. 320, 108 So. 83. The burden of proof is never shifted to the defendant in a criminal case to prove that he is not guilty. Barker v. State, supra; Scott v. State, 20 Ala. App. 360, 102 So. 152; Seale v. State, 21 Ala. App. 351, 108 So. 271. Counsel discuss other questions, but without citing additional authorities.

Charlie C. McCall, Atty. Gen., for the State.

Brief did not reach the Reporter.


Petition for certiorari to review the decision of the Court of Appeals, affirming a judgment of conviction of petitioner on a charge of unlawfully possessing a still.

As to some of the matters here pressed for consideration, they present a finding of facts by the Court of Appeals, here not reviewable under our uniform decisions. Postal Tel. Co. v. Minderhout, 195 Ala. 420, 71 So. 91.

The remaining questions argued were not treated or considered by the Court of Appeals, and do not come within the purview of our review of the decisions of that court. Ex parte L. N. R. Co., 176 Ala. 631, 58 So. 315; Parham v. State (Ala. Sup.) 116 So. 418.

Ante, p. 399.

The writ is denied.

ANDERSON, C. J., and SAYRE and BOULDIN, JJ., concur.
