appealed against a conviction for selling ale to a woman in a state of intoxication, and asked that Sheriff Rutherfurd, who tried the case, should be required to state and sign a case for the judgment of the Court. For the appellant it was submitted that as he had proved the drunkenness was not obvious. to any one in his premises-the evidence of two policemen, who had been watching the woman, and observed her staggering outside, being preferred-he was not liable to conviction. He further objected to the admission of evidence by a witness named Stars, who had taken the precognitions. The Court said they would consult with the Sheriff as to whether he considered this evidence material for his judgment. Subsequently Lord Young stated that they had seen the learned Sheriff, and he said the evidence in question had no effect upon his mind. The appeal was therefore dismissed. Morison v.
