W. B. Huff, Solicitor, for appellee.Gene Reeves, Quillian & Quillian, Alfred A. Quillian, for appellant.

1. Where, if certain language in an accusation is treated as surplusage, the offense would be defined as a misdemeanor rather than a felony, the difference is material and the language cannot be ignored. The motion in arrest of judgment was good for the reason that the accusation was drawn under a felony statute, and the court had only misdemeanor jurisdiction.

2. Although it was error to admit parol evidence of the existence and contents of a search warrant over the objection that the warrant itself was the best evidence, where the facts discovered by the warrant were admitted by the defendant the error was not harmful.

3. Objection that an automobile was illegally searched without a warrant is not available to one who makes no claim to the ownership or possession of the automobile or its contents and who was not present at the time of the search.

4. The court properly allowed the solicitor, who stated in his place that he had been entrapped by a witness for the prosecution, to cross examine him as to the contents of a prior contradictory statement made to the solicitor's office.

5. It was error to overrule special demurrers to the form of an accusation which had improperly attached to it an affidavit made before a justice of the peace prior to arrest, a warrant for arrest, and a blank probation sentence.

Leonard Cain was convicted after trial on three accusations charging him respectively with selling beer on Sunday without a license and to a minor. The defendant admitted having beer on the premises but denied that he had sold it to the two minors in question, and, as to these latter, one testified that the defendant did, and the other that he did not, sell them the beer which the police officers later found them drinking. The cases deal with the same transaction and will be dealt with together.

1. By the provisions of Code 58-612 it is a felony to "knowingly furnish . . . any minor . . . malt liquors without first obtaining written authority from the parent or guardian." Under Code 58-1061 it is a misdemeanor to "furnish alcoholic . . . beverages to any minor." Beer is both a malt liquor and an alcoholic beverage. The accusation in this case was apparently drawn under Code 58-612 since it included the language "without first securing the written authority of the parent and guardian" of the named minor. The Criminal Court of Gwinnett County, where the case was tried, is, however, a court with no jurisdiction of offenses above the grade of misdemeanor. Ga. L. 1965, p. 2810. A motion in arrest of judgment was made on the ground that, as to Case No. 41846, the accusation showed on its face that the court was without jurisdiction. We agree that the accusation as drawn charged a felony offense. These two Code sections are so contradictory that a proper objection to either might be sustainable in any event, however, the language, pertaining to lack of written authority cannot be treated as surplusage under the test outlined in Henley v. State, 95 Ga. App. 699 (99 SE2d 242): "A party cannot complain that evidence is admitted when he offers other evidence of similar legal import." Since the possession of beer is not illegal, the only result of the evidence obtained by the search was corroborative of the testimony of the principal witness that he had in fact purchased beer from the defendant that afternoon by showing there was beer on the premises. This being admitted by the defendant, the first two enumerations of error which attack the validity of the warrant and the error in offering secondary evidence are without merit.

3. Objection was offered to the deputy sheriff's testimony that he stopped an automobile "leading into Mr. Cain's house and garage" as they went to execute the search warrant that it was ascertained the occupants had a six-pack of cold beer and that they did not detain them. The testimony did not on its face establish an unlawful search, but in any event the defendant, who makes no claim to ownership or possession of the automobile searched, has no status to complain. Goldberg v. U. S., 297 F 98.

4. Dennis Coggins, one of the minors involved, had previously signed a statement to the effect that the defendant had sold him beer, but denied this state of facts on the witness stand. The attorney for the State then stated in his that he had been entrapped by the witness and that the statement had been made to the solicitor's office, upon which the court allowed him, over objection, to cross examine and ask leading questions as to the contents of the statement. While the general rule is that a party cannot show entrapment unless the witness has made the contradictory statement to him or for the purpose of being communicated to him an exception exists where the statement is made to a law enforcement agent and by him turned over to the persons conducting the trial on behalf of the State. Sparks v. State, 209 Ga. 250 (2) (71 SE2d 608). No error is shown here.

5. The papers comprising the accusation in this case, and which went out to the jury room were (a) the affidavit of Troy Geerson, a police officer, made for the purpose of obtaining a warrant of arrest; (b) the warrant of arrest; (c) the accusation signed by the solicitor charging the defendant with a misdemeanor (differing in each case) but itself containing no affidavit; (d) a blank misdemeanor sentence form for use by the trial court, and (e) a blank probation form, also for use by the court. Demurrers were filed on the grounds that the affidavit and warrant, as well as the blank probation sentence form, should be stricken therefrom. We think these grounds of demurrer to be well taken. The warrant for arrest and affidavit accompanying it had no place in the accusation, which is a pleading in the case and goes to the jury room. In Spence v. State, 96 Ga. App. 19 (3) (99 SE2d 309) it was held as to an arrest ticket which was erroneously admitted in evidence that, "it was further error to allow it to go to the jury room. The facts in the arrest ticket which were testified to on the stand by the officer making the ticket would have no place in the jury room because to allow them to be before the jury in the form of a written memorandum when all the other testimony in the case was oral would put the memorandum in the form of a 'third witness' present with the jury in the jury room, thus lending undue emphasis to that part of the testimony. See Royals v. State, 208 Ga. 78 (65 SE2d 158)." Further, the sentence form, with the probation sentence attached had no place in the jury room, and of course all of these papers were in fact sent out with the accusation. While Code 27-2206 does not in terms deal with this situation, it makes argument by counsel before the jury that the defendant may be paroled or his sentence reduced a mandatory ground for mistrial, and the terms of the section are broad enough to cover the action of the trial court in paroling a defendant in a misdemeanor case. Indubitably, to send the blank probation sentence out to the jury room along with the blank misdemeanor sentence and as a part of it is a clear indication to the jury that it is at least possible, if not probable, that the defendant will not be sentenced to imprisonment, and is a fact which they might well take in to illegal account in determining whether the defendant was guilty or innocent. This is the very thing which it was the intention of the legislature to prevent. For both these reasons it was error to overrule the special demurrers in each of the cases.

6. the remaining grounds enumerated as error are either without merit or are unlikely to recur.

Judgment reversed. Nichols, P. J., and Hall, J., concur.
