March 14, 1913. The opinion of the Court was delivered by The appellant was convicted before R.F. Watson, Esq., city recorder, for the city of Greenville, on the charge of storing liquor in violation of law, and sentenced by the recorder.
An appeal was taken to the Circuit Court for Greenville county and dismissed, after a full hearing, by his Honor, Judge DeVore. An appeal was then taken to this Court and the appeal raises two (2) questions.
First. Was it error for the city recorder to refuse to allow the bill of goods to be introduced in evidence? *Page 574
Second. Are the stated facts sufficient to sustain a conviction upon the charge of storing whiskey?
As to the first exception, the defendant was sworn in his defense and testified as to how he was in possession of the liquor, and all of the circumstances of his possession, and the bill, offered in evidence and ruled out, was merely corroborative of the parol evidence given by the defendant, and the ruling of the recorder was not error. This exception is overruled.
As to the second exception, the recorder and the Circuit Judge concurred in their findings of fact, and this Court will not disturb that finding where there is any testimony to sustain it, and there is such testimony here. State v. Powell, 91 S.C. 5, 73 S.E. 1017; Matthews v. Industrial Lum. Co., 91 S.C. 568, 75 S.E. 171.
Judgment affirmed.
