Commonwealth v. Hallett
103 Mass. 452 | Mass. | 1869
The defendant had no right to sell intoxicating drinks, even if he sold them in good faith as a medicine; so that the evidence on that subject was immaterial. Nor was the question whether he knew the character of the liquor material.
The instructions given to the jury are not to be understood as applicable to cider, because it was not pretended that the article sold was cider. Exceptions overruled.
