114 Minn. 434 | Minn. | 1911
Defendant was prosecuted before a justice of the peace on the charge of maintaining an unlicensed drinking place, wherein intoxicating liquors were sold by him as a beverage. Upon conviction, he appealed to the district court, where the judgment of the justice was affirmed. lie then appealed to this court.
We discover nothing in the record requiring discussion or extended mention. The complaint sufficiently charges a violation of section 1550, R. L. 1905. It is not important that the statute does not define “an unlicensed drinking place.” No definition is necessary. The statute sufficiently indicates the intention of the legislature, namely, to punish those maintaining places where intoxicating liquors are sold without a license.
Judgment affirmed.
