179 Ind. 445 | Ind. | 1913
Appellants were druggists at Bedford. A
quantity of liquor was seized at their place of business, under a warrant issued under the provisions of the act approved February 13, 1907, known as the “Blind Tiger” law (Acts 1907 p. 27, §8338 et seq. Burns 1908). An action to replevy the liquor seized, was brought by appellants, against the officer, to whom the warrant was issued, on the theory that the act is unconstitutional, because due process of law is denied. The officer answered, averring the seizure, pursuant to the warrant. The action of the court, in overruling the demurrer, is assigned as error.
The court correctly overruled the demurrer.
There is no error. Judgment affirmed.
