Upon a trial under an accusation based upon section 22 of the act of the General Assembly of Georgia, approved Mareh 28, 1917 (Acts of Extraordinary Session, March 20-28, 1917, p. 18), when the evidence for the State shows that the apparatus for the distilling or manufacturing of whisky was found upon the defendant’s premises, and that the defendant was in actual' possession of the premises^ such evidence, by the express terms of the act, is prima facie evidence that the defendant had knowledge of the fact that the .apparatus was located upon his premises; and the burden of proof is then upon him ‘to show that he had no such knowledge.
2. Under the ruling in the preceding note, and the facts of this case, it was not errol- for the court to fail to charge the jury upon the law of circumstantial evidence.
3. In the absence of a timely written request, the court did not err in failing to explain to the jury what the term “premises” meant.
