HAWKINS, J.

Appellant was convicted for having in his possession equipment for the manufacture of intoxicating liquor. Punishment was assessed at one year in the penitentiary.

Chapter 61, Acts 37th Legislature, 1st Called Sess. 1921 (Vernon’s Ann. Pen. Code Supp. 1922, art. 588¼ et seq.) amending chapter 78 of the Acts of the 36th Legislature, 2d Called Sess. 1919, has been held to have repealed section 1 of said chapter 78, in so 'far as it made the possession of equipment for the manufacture of intoxicating liquor a crime.
