Byron v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Byron v. United States, 43 F.2d 360 (4th Cir. 1930)
1930 U.S. App. LEXIS 3894
Byron v. United States
Opinion of the Court
We do not think that the transaction involved in this ease amounted to a transportation of intoxicating liquor within the meaning and intent of the National Prohibition Act (27 USCA). Hill v. State, 96 Tex. Cr. R. 165, 256 S. W. 921; Warren v. State, 94 Tex. Cr. R. 243, 250 S. W. 429; Locke v. City of Ft. Smith, 155 Ark. 158, 244 S. W. 11; 33 C. J. 582; Thorpe on Prohibition ■218.' There was error, therefore, in the charge of the learned trial judge, and the defendant is entitled to a new trial.
Reversed.
