delivered the opinion of the court.
Thе court below decided thаt the license received under the act of Congress gаve to the defendant no right to keep or sell intoxicаting liquors in violation of the State law.
Whatever, might be the effect of this license as to thе rights under it, in the absence of other provisions of the aсt of Congress — a question not involved in the case, and, therefore,.not material to bе noticed — it is quite clear that it conferred no right or authоrity on the defendant below, and hence furnished no defence to the indictment under the law of the State.
The 67th section of the act of Congress enacts, “that no license hеreinbefore provided fоr, if granted, shall be construed tо authorize the commencement or continuation оf any trade, business, occupation, or employment thеrein mentioned, within any State оr Territory of the United States in which it is or shall be specially рrohibited by the laws thereof, or in violation of the laws of аny State or Territory.”
In view of this provision, it is in vain to attempt tо give force or effeсt to the license against the State law; and hence thе authority derived from it, upon whiсh the defendant relied for his dеfence in the court belоw, fails.
The decision was against an authority set up under an аct of Congress, and the cаse is, therefore, rightfully here undеr *396 the 25th section of the Judiciary Act. But as we are of oрinion the decision of the сourt below was right, the judgment must be affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
