SEWELL v. STATE.

Supreme Court of Alabama

June 22, 1893

Appeal from Geneva county court; Jere Merritt, Judge.

The appellant in this case was indicted, tried, and convicted for carrying weapons concealed about his person. Affirmed.

The only question reserved on this appeal is the court's overruling the defendant's motion to quash the venire. There were several grounds of this motion, but there was no evidence introduced to support said motion, and the opinion of this court renders it unnecessary to set out these grounds in detail.

John A. Ragland, for appellant.

Wm. L. Martin, Atty. Gen., for the State.

HEAD, J.

There is nothing in this case to review. The defendant moved to quash the venire based on certain extrinsic facts stated in the motion. If those facts, or any of them, in law constituted a sufficient ground for the motion, (which we do not, by any means, intimate is true,) the record does not show that any proof of them was made or offered to be made. It simply shows that the motion was made and overruled.

Affirmed.
