Commonwealth v. Finnegan

Mar 15, 1872
Reporters:
By the Court.

The bill of exceptions does not ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‍show any error in the instructions upon any point made at the trial. The instruction requested ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‍was rightly refused. The indictment charged the defendant with keeping a tenement used for the illegal ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‍sale and illegal keeping of intoxicating liquors, and would be supported by proof of keeping ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‍a tenement used for either of the purposes thus alleged, and so the jury were instructed. ‍‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‍Commonwealth v.
