State v. Elliott

93 Vt. 449; 108 A. 927; 1919 Vt. LEXIS 185

State v. Elliott

Opinion of the Court

Powers, J.

Although this complaint specifies the person to *450whom, the time when, and the place where the intoxicating liquor was said to have been furnished, it is no better, as a criminal pleading, than the one in State v. Villa, 92 Vt. 121, 102 Atl. 935; and for the reasons therein stated is fatally defective, and cannot support a conviction.

The judgment overruling the motion in arrest is reversed, the motion is sustained, and the respondent is discharged.
