Gaul, Plaintiff in Error.\nOpinion filed April 23, 1908.\nDram-shops\u2014when judgment of conviction must he \u00bfaffirmed or reversed as a whole. A judgment convicting defendant of selling liquor in violation of the Dram-shop act, though based upon various counts of the information, is so far a unit that it must be affirmed or reversed as a\" whole, and the Appellate Court cannot affirm as to some counts and reverse as to others.\n. \u25a0 Writ op Error to the Appellate Court for the Second District;\u2014heard in that court on writ of error to the County .Court of Warren county; the Hon. J. W.. ClUndunin, Judge, presiding.\nAn information containing thirty counts was filed by the State\u2019s attorney of Warren county in the county court of said county against John W. Gaul, charging him with selling intoxicating liquors in violation of sections 2, 6 and 7 of the Dram-shop act. Gaul filed a plea of not guilty, and !upon a trial before the court and a jury he was found guilty under the fifth, seventh, eleventh and twenty-fifth counts of the information and fined $60 on each of said counts, and sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail of Warren county for thirty days under the twenty-fifth count. The defendant sued out a writ of error from the Appellate Court for the Second District, where the judgment of the county court was reversed as to the conviction under the fifth count, and as to that count the cause was remanded to the county court, and the judgment of the county court was affirmed as to the conviction under the seventh, eleventh and twenty-fifth counts. The defendant has sued out a writ of error from this court to review the judgment of the Appellate Court.\nCooke & Stevens, and Charles A. McLaughlin, for plaintiff in error.\nW. H. Stead Attorney General, and Clinton M. Huey, State\u2019s Attorney, (Louis H. Hanna, and John H. Hanley, of counsel,) for the People."
