Tbe defendant admitted tbat tbe overcoat belonged to him. Tbe officers also found in defendant\u2019s store a number of fruit jars which bad tbe odor of whiskey about them. Soon after tbe witnesses bad found tbe whiskey and set it on tbe counter, tbe defendant broke both vessels, remarking at tbe time: \u201cDamn it, if I can\u2019t drink it, I guess you won\u2019t get to drink it either.\u201d\nThis evidence was amply sufficient to warrant the jury in finding, as they did, tbat tbe defendant bad received more than one quart of spirituous liquors at one time, or in a single container or package, as prohibited by 0. S., 3385. Tbe evidence here is fully as strong as tbat in tbe ease of S. v. Alston, 183 N. C., 135, where a similar conviction was sustained.\nNo error.",
