Nevin v. Ladue
Court for the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors
On error from the supreme court to réview a judgment of that court affirming one rendered by the court of common pleas of Putnam county. The facts of the case and the reasons of the judges are stated, ante, p. 43.
1Opinion of the Court
The Chancellor.
The suit in the justice’s court against Nevin was for an alleged violation of the statute against selling liquors without a licence. And the principal question for our consideration is whether ale, porter and strong beer, are within the prohibitions of the statute as it existed when this offence is alleged to have been committed. The statute provides that whoever shall sell any strong, or spirituous liquors, or any wines, in any quantity less than five gallons at a time, without having a licence therefor granted as therein directed, shall forfeit twenty-five dollars.
