Sullivan v. City of Oneida
Illinois Supreme Court
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Knox county; the "Hon. Arthur A. Smith, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Thornton
We propose only to consider the character and validity of th,e section of the charter, and the ordinances read in evidence.
The warrant issued commanded the officer to search the dwelling and out-houses of the accused, and if spirituous liquors were found to seize the same and bring them before .the magistrate.
' The ordinance greatly transcends the power granted to the council.
The charter empowered the council to declare the selling, giving away, or the keeping on hand for sale, of any spirituous or intoxicating liquors, ale, beer, or any kind of fermented •liquors icithin the city, a nuisance.
