State v. Brown

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
State v. Brown, 31 Me. 522 (Me. 1850)
Howard, Orally

State v. Brown

Opinion of the Court

Howard, J., orally.

We consider the exceptions in the first section of the Act to be sufficiently negatived in the complaint. The provisions of the twenty-fourth section have no application. The name of Mrs. Brown might not have been known to the complainant. A conviction hero would bar another complaint for the same offence.

The liquor was sold for a medical purpose. It might be indiscreet to prosecute, but the defendant had no right to sell, whether for medicine, or for drinking or for any other purpose.

Exceptions overruled.
