Commonwealth v. Stell
Commonwealth v. Stell
1 Ky. Op. 624; 1867 Ky. LEXIS 369
Commonwealth v. Stell
Opinion of the Court
Opinion oe the Oourt by
The selling of liquor to a minor without the written order of his parent, guardian, etc., is a personal offense by the one who actually sells, and does not make the landlord liable unless it can be presumed from the evidence he knew of, or authorized, or assented to it.
The selling as proved was by the barkeeper and the evidence does not authorize the inference that the defendant authorized, approbated, or knew of it.
Wherefore, the judgment is affirmed.
