—It was an issue in this case as to whether appellant sold the whisky to the witness Beckham in payment for money which he had borrowed of Beckham for the purpose of paying the whisky out of the express office. If the money was borrowed, or furnished by Beckham' to appellant for the purpose of taking the whisky from the express office, and the whisky was turned over to Beckham in discharge of that debt, it would be a sale. This was denied by appellant. His evidence, substantially, is that he borrowed the money for the purpose of getting the whisky out of the express office and did take it out and gave it to Beckham to carry to his house for' him, appellant, to be used on a fishing excursion on which he (Beckham) and others were going the night after the whisky was taken from the office. And appellant further testifies that he refunded the money on Monday, after he had borrowed it on Saturday, paying Beckham’s wife; Beckham being in jail at the time, having been arrested for getting drunk on the whisky and firing off his pistol. Beckham’s wife testified that appellant did not pay her the money at the time mentioned.
*452This evidence raised the issue as to whether there was a sale and the jury decided adversely to appellant. The court, properly, we think, submitted this issue in the following language: “If you believe from the evidence that the defendant in good faith borrowed money from said George Beckham, and that said money so borrowed was used by the defendant in paying out of the express office, for himself, the package containing the whisky alleged to have been sold in this case, or if you have a reasonable doubt as to whether or not the money was so borrowed and used, you will acquit the defendant.”
Appellant requested a special instruction almost in the language above stated, which was refused. We are of opinion that the court sufficiently presented the matter set up in appellant’s special requested instruction. There was no error, therefore, in refusing it.
The orders and decrees of the commissioners court, ordering the election and publication of the result, were introduced in evidence over appellant’s objection. We are of opinion that there was no error in the admission of this testimony.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
