nrA. Mr.. Cristine Of Germantown, who
was found guilty of selling liquors contrary
to Statute, the other day, has applied,
through attorney, for a new trial. Tho ap-
plication will be passed upon Immediately
after the case Of MoIlane, now being in
vestigated shall have been disposed Of
The result is doubtful, but we incline to the
opinion that the Court here will follow the
precedent set in other courts Of like juris-
diction in the State, and refuse to grant
another hearing.
There seems to be dispute among the
lawyers in regard to the penalties incurred
by violations of the liquor law. The pom
atty heretofore has been fine aud imprison'
ment; but at the last session Of the Legis
lature the law was amended so as to leave
Il discretionary with the Court TO fine or
imprison, or both, all who offended against
the provisions of the act. This amendment
took effect on the fifth Of last month. Some
claim that offences committed prior to that
time cannot have the benefit of the discre'
ton of the court, on the principle that all
proceedings commenced in cases prior to the
amendment going into eject, are not in any
way effected by It
We are not lawyer, but we conceive
that in all cases where complaint has been
made, since the amendment has gone in
force, against parties offending against the
liquor law, they may have the benefit of the
Judges discretion, whether the o6enses were
committed before or since its passage The
amendment makes no discrimination in this
regard we believe the Court will give Of
Tenders the benefit of the mildest possible
construction of the law, where the penalty
seems unjustly disproportioned to the offence
committed
