State v. Hotel McCreery Co.

BRahnou, Judge:

A corporation was formed under charter from the state under the name of Hotel McCreery Company for the purpose of leasing, owning and operating hotels, restaurants, saloons, billiard rooms and other like purposes, its business to be carried on at the city of Hinton. It obtained a license to sell spirituous liquors and carry on a saloon for that purpose and paid the tax. An indictment was found against the company for selling liquor without license. On the trial the corporation was found not guilty and judgment rendered of acquittal, and the state has sued out this writ of error.
