Commonwealth v. Lincoln

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Commonwealth v. Lincoln, 75 Mass. 288 (Mass. 1857)
Thomas

Commonwealth v. Lincoln

Opinion of the Court

Thomas, J.

1. The question asked the witness was, we are inclined to think, irregular. What was the answer does not appear; but it does appear that the count charging the defendant with being a common seller was abandoned, and that the question and answer could be of no moment. *

2. The evidence of there being in the shop materials and implements for the sale of liquor was competent upon the charges of single sales. The question whether sale or gift might depend upon it. , Exceptions overruled.
