The opinion

ON REHEARING.

(4) While there was no positive proof that the offense was committed in Bullock county, the state’s witness Keith testified that he was the agent of the Central of Georgia Railway Company at Inverness, Ala.; that on or about November 10, 1915, the bale of cotton in question was delivered to him as such agent for shipment to Union Springs, and that this bale of cotton was left on the shipping platform at the depot; and that thereafter the defendant defaced the markings and turned it over and remarked it. The court will take judicial knowledge of the fact that Inverness, Ala., is in Bullock county, and the jury was authorized to so find without proof of this specific fact. — Rector v. State, 11 Ala. App. 333 , 66 South. 857 .
