The opinion

STONE, J.

It is clear that, under section 1058 of the Code, neither the fact that the liquor was drunk in the State of Tennessee, nor that the drinking took place on lands over which the defendant had no control, would, as matter of law, require the acquittal of the accused. See Easterling v. The State, 30 Ala. 46 ; Downman v. The State, 14 Ala. 243 ; Brown v. The State, 31 Ala. 353 .

Judgment of the circuit court affirmed.
