Commonwealth v. Everson

140 Mass. 292 | Mass. | 1885

By the Court.

1. It is too clear to call for any discussion, that the defendant’s ignorance of the law is no defence, and that the evidence offered for the purpose of proving such ignorance was' rightly rejected.

2. The rulings upon the question whether the defendant kept a public bar were in accordance with the decision in Commonwealth v. Rogers, 135 Mass. 536; and were sufficiently favorable to the defendant.

Exceptions overruled.
