Court of Appeals of Kentucky · Decided January 25, 1877 · Pryor
9 Ky. Op. 297; 1877 Ky. LEXIS 172

Burton v. Commonwealth

Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Judge Pryor:

The appellant was not prejudiced by the refusal of the court to permit the prescription of the physicians to be read as evidence.

The sign “Eating Saloon” over appellant’s door is not to be regarded as an invitation to enter, by those wishing to see an apothecary, nor were the prescriptions identified by the party obtaining the liquor, nor used by him in obtaining the whisky.

Judgment affirmed.
