The evidence of a seizure of intoxicating liquor at the place kept by the defendant, and of sales made there a short time before the day named in the complaint, was admissible. It tended to prove that the liquors found on the premises on the day named in the complaint were kept by the defendant with the intent to sell them in violation of law.

Exceptions overruled.
