This is au indictment for keeping a liquor nuisance. The defendant’s tenement was the southerly half of a house, and had a front and a rear entrance. The other half of the house was divided into two tenements, and also had a front and a rear entrance. The only question now argued is as to the competency of evidence to show that the defendant’s son was seen to throw two bottles of lager beer from a window of the rear tenement in the northerly half of the house, which was not occupied by the defendant. There was evidence *64tending to show that the defendant was in his own tenement with his son just before the officers began their search; that one of the officers saw the son in the front door of the front tenement in the other part of the house at a time which we infer was just after he had been with the defendant in the defendant’s tenement; and at a time which apparently was immediately after this, he was seen to throw the lager beer from the rear window. The jury might well find that he had just left his father’s tenement and presence with the lager beer, which he was endeavoring to put out of the way, and might properly connect the defendant with this act.
