VERMONT LIeUoR LAVA slip from the
Windsor Journal office, gives a sketch of the de-
csion of the Supreme Court of Vermont in the case
of C. Robinson Powers, who was intoxicated in bis
fathers house, in Woodstock, and who refused to
disclose the OF tie party of whom he purchased
the quor,--which the Vermont law requires
whereupon he was imprisoned by the Justice of the
Peace. The was brought before the Supreme
Court OF he State, upon writ of habeas corpus,
and the Court decided that the Justice took candid
and view Of the disclosure made or protested
to have been made, by the reator that the charac-
ter of the disclosure, and the manner of its being
made, such as to induce the Justice to believe,
and that he did believe, that the prisoner knew more
of the transaction than he saw fit to disclose
Chief Justice Redfeld says, IN conclusion, OF that
portion Of the law under which Robinson was sen-
fenced:
sin my Judgment, could not declare this por.
ton of the law void, without undong, in principle,
to very great extent, the entire policy of the State;
for no jury trial is, or ever was, allowed in any of
these or similar cases."
The Chief Justice confirms the decision of the
Court below, and the relator remain imprisoned
until he makes disclosure as to the man who sold
him the liquor whereby he became intoxicated
