   PRENDERGAST, Presiding Judge.

Appellant was convicted for-selling whisky in prohibition territory, and his punishment assessed at the lowest prescribed by law.

The evidence, while disputed, was amply sufficient to sustain the-verdict. It showed a sale by appellant as alleged.

Appellant’s first bill of exceptions complains of some remarks by the judge to the jury, after' delivering his written charge to them,, giving them some directions. What the judge said to the jury was in no way prejudicial to appellant and presents no error. Tyrone v. State, 77 Texas Crim. Rep., 493, 180 S. W. Rep., 125, and authorities therein cited.

Appellant has a bill complaining that the court permitted the witness, to whom the indictment alleged appellant sold whisky, to testify to other sales to him. The State objects to the bill as insufficient to require the court to pass upon the question. And it also contends that the testimony shown by the bill shows clearly that the witness did not testify to any other sale than that alleged in the indictment. We think both contentions by the State are well taken. The witness did not testify to any other sale to.him by appellant, even if we could consider the bill.

The other bills are also objected to by the State as insufficient. Even, if we could consider them, or any of them, they present no error. The question of the time said State’s witness claimed he purchased, and the location where he claimed he bought the whisky from appellant, was directly in issue and proper to be shown. The court permitted the-State to prove by another witness the location of the building in which the appellant had a room when the sale occurred, and over his objection permitted the witness to tell that he noticed two beds, a washstand and center table in the room when he was in it. Evidently this was for the-purpose of identifying the room where the alleged sale occurred. Under no circumstances would it be reversible error for the court to permit such evidence. There is nothing else raised requiring discussion. The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
