## Opinion text

*244
BROWN, J.,
Concurring in the Result.—The stipulation is more inclusive than the charge contained, in the indictment. The case comes here from a ruling made by the trial court involving the meaning of the term “possess” as used in the indictment and the prohibition law. All the opinion written by Mr. Justice Belt holds is that we adopt the definition of the term “possess” as defined in other jurisdictions having statutes similar to our own. Hence, I concur in the result.
