Opinion of the Court

Gray, C. J.

The St. of 1875, c. 99, regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors, and repealing the previous statutes upon the same subject, did not repeal the nuisance act, Gen. Sts. c. 87, §§ 6, 7, on which this complaint is founded. Commonwealth v. Carpenter, 100 Mass. 204. The complaint describes the offence in the words of that act, and is sufficient. Commonwealth v. Kelly, 12 Gray, 175. Commonwealth v. Bennett, 108 Mass. 27.

Exceptions overruled.
