Syllabus

<p>1. Practice—Amendment.—By inadvertanee the county attorney endorsed on a substituted information a different number than that by which the ease was originally entered upon the docket, and the defense, therefore, objected to the substitute. Held, that the mistake should have been corrected upon the motion of the county attorney, or by the trial court upon its own motion.</p> <p>2. Exhibiting a G-aming-Table—Evidence.—Proof that the gaming table was exhibited in “ Stiff’s saloon, in Denton county ” will not support the allegation in the information that the table was exhibited in “Houston Stiff’s saloon, in the city of Denton,”—a descriptive allegation necessary to be proved as laid. (See Withers v. The State, ante 210.)</p>
