1Opinion of the CourtTaRBEll, J.
The plaintiff in error was indicted at the February term of the Jackson county circuit court, 1872, for selling vinous and malt liquors, in 1871, without paying the privilege tax on his license, which he is charged in the indictment to have had at the time of such sale.
