155 A. 278 | Conn. | 1931
This case originated in an application of the prosecuting attorney of the Court of Common Pleas of New London County for an order, under the provisions of Chapter 211 of the Public Acts of 1929, now §§ 2719 to 2724 of the General Statutes, Revision of 1930, for the disposition of an automobile, alleged to have been used in the unlawful manufacture of intoxicating liquors. The appellant was an assignee of a conditional bill of sale of the truck, without knowledge of the illegal use to which it was put. In Pickett, Pros. Atty., v. Marcucci's Liquors,
It is true there is a certain lack of particularity in the application, but nothing so substantial as to justify a failure to order the disposition of the truck after the case had gone to trial without objection to the pleadings, had been fully heard and all the essential facts proven. Johnson v. Shuford,
There is no error.
