18 S.E. 387 | N.C. | 1893
The facts are stated in the opinion. Defendant appealed. (654)
The bill of indictment on which the defendant was tried contained two counts, one for unlawfully retailing spirituous liquors, and one for unlawfully selling them in quantities less than a gallon, to wit, by the quart. The jury found a general verdict of guilty. Of the misdemeanor charged in the first count, the court in which the trial took place clearly had jurisdiction. The offense there specified was the violation of The Code, sec. 1076, and not of section 35, of chapter 294, of the Acts of 1893 (Revenue Act). The latter act does not at all repeal or suspend the operation of the former, or in any way interfere with the enforcement of its provisions. S. v. Newcomb,
The judgment of the court is in strict accordance with the provisions of the act therein referred to.
No error.
