State v. Lager Beer

So far as appears, the libel may be maintained against the lager beer. The complaint upon which it was seized sets forth with sufficient legal certainty the kind and quantity of the liquor (State v. Jenkins, 64 N. H. 375), alleges that it was unlawfully kept for sale, and charges that it was spirituous. By statute, “ any spirituous liquor kept for sale in violation of law . ... may be seized,” etc. (P. S., c. 112, s. 30), and “by the words . . . ‘ spirituous liquor ’ . . . shall be intended all spirituous or intoxicating liquor, . . . unless otherwise expressly declared.” Ib., c. 2, s. 33.…
