to take Patlerson's money and then
turn States evidence against him.
Patterson, it is alleged, paid at the
rate of $500 to $1,000 each for votes,
and altogether his election cost him
about $4,000. Aa soon as the cleo

The result of the election proved

his best energies had been spent in

A New Construction of the
e "a Adair Liquor LaW.Iaa :.

Judge Foote, of the Common Pleas
Court of this county, has put q new
construction upon the so-called Adair
liquor law of 1870, which must have
the effect to greatly limit the opera
ton of the statute and exclude large
class of cases in which suit for dam
ages is made. In charging the jury
in case of this kind, Judge Foote
held that |" the Intoxicating liquors
sold must be other than ale, beer, cider
or wine made from the pure juice OF
the grape cultivated in the State OF
Ohio These beverages are excepted
from the provisions of the law for
bidding the selling of Intoxicating
liquors to be drank upon the premises
where sold; and the Judge held that
the plaintiff suing for damages must
make out an unlawful sale in order to
recover. We have not noticed that
this construction has been put upon
the law Of 1870; but if it is sustained
the Adair law will become practically
worthless, since. in ninety-nine cases
out Of a hundred. it will be impossible
to prove By so6at Kind of liquor the
intoxicated person was or was not
made drunk. The whole question, as
it seems to us, turns on whether the
law of 1860 did not intend that the
sellers of all kinds of intoxicating
liquors, Including" wine, beer, ale or
cider" should be liable for damages
resulting directly from such sale,
though the act of selling was not it,
self unlawful. Cases heretofore tried
under this law have been adjudged
on that suppositiOn. The question
thus raised is OF great importance as
affecting the efficiency of the Adair
law, and will excite new interest in
temperance as well as in liquor selling
