LIQUORS IN TRANsITu.-The Supreme

LIQUORS IN IRANSITU.-Ihe Supreme
Court In session in Augusta Me- has decided that
liquor not intended for illegal sale is property and
not be seized In tran.tu, and consequently that all
psce, except those proved TO be intended for uua wfu
sale. The decision, although was founded
the case of Preston Drew, argued In Cumberland
County. IL Is as iolOws
Preston a. va DTeDItis competent for the State by
legislative enactment operating prospectiyely to deter
mine that articles Injurious to the public health
ais shall not constitute property. II II should so con-
clude in relation TO spiruous Intoxicating drinks
when designed TO be used beverage the conclusion
would be justified by the history and eXpereI OF man.
and would furnish cason to complain that any pro-
vision Of the Constitution had been violated
The Act OF leJl "tor the suppression OF drinking
houses and npplng shops though 1t provides for the
seizure and forfeiture of such liquors when designed for
SALE does not enact that property be acquired In
them when not designed for Unlawful sale, but the
contrary recognizes them subject Of property when
kept for certain purposes
The prohibition 10 sell such liquors does not prevent
the acquisition OF property in them the transportation
OF them through the state when not designed for I'M
lawful sale
The general intent and avoved purpose of the Act
would not be iDfIiDged by construction which should
dsaew the main of act ns except for such
liquors were liable to seizure and forfeiture aud iu
tended for unlawful sale.
The attaching of such a construction to legislative
angusge so clear and unequivoca, II within the prov
ince Of the judiciary department. is perhaps very
the outward boundary OF It's powers.
II such construction should be applied, II would, Of
course remove the statute prohibition from all actions
brought for liquors. except those proved TO have been
irtrnn ed for unlawful sale.
WihOm such construction, the statute prohhitisn
all be imperative 70 actions for any liquors. except
those proved 10 have been intended for unlawful SALE
because "a other liquors. the prohibition Is vioative
Of the State Constitution.
