    Criminal Law and Practice. — An indictment or information, under § 11, of the Act of March 5, 1859, (Acts 1859, p. 202,) for selling or giving away liquor to a minor, need not state the kind of liquor sold or given away, but must aver it-to have been an “intoxicating liquor;” and on the trial it must appear that the liquor was within the definition of the term, “intoxicating liquor,” given in § 2 of the Act.
