An indictment for retailing liquors should allege a given quantity, ‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‍according to established measures, as a pint, a gill, &c., and a price for which it was sold. “ One drink” ‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‍signifies no given quantity. Ind. Dig., p. 378; 4 Ind. 577.

The judgment is reversed, with instructions to quash.
