Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, 1872

Commonwealth v. Finnegan

Commonwealth v. Finnegan
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · Decided March 15, 1872
109 Mass. 363

Commonwealth v. Finnegan

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The bill of exceptions does not show any error in the instructions upon any point made at the trial. The instruction requested was rightly refused. The indictment charged the defendant with keeping a tenement used for the illegal sale and illegal keeping of intoxicating liquors, and would be supported by proof of keeping a tenement used for either of the purposes thus alleged, and so the jury were instructed. Commonwealth v. Welsh, 1 Allen, 1. Commonwealth v. Carolin, 2 Allen, 169. Commonwealth v. Heffron, 102 Mass. 148.

Exceptions overruled.
