DEFREESE v. STATE

37294.

98 Ga. App. 154 (1958)

105 S.E.2d 407

DEFREESE v. THE STATE.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Decided September 16, 1958.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

J. Ray Merritt, Dan Copeland, for plaintiff in error.

Alfred A. Quillian, Solicitor-General, contra.


TOWNSEND, Judge.

1. While there is a legal presumption that, where husband and wife are living together, all household effects, including intoxicating liquor, are in possession of the husband, the presumption is rebuttable and may be offset by proof that such property is in fact not that of the husband. No such presumption would arise as to business premises owned and operated by the wife. See Barron v. State, 46 Ga.App. 829 (169 S. E. 323).
