traffic in Intoxicating drinks and in addl-
ton to said chapter, approved Nov. 3, 1870
This bill was reported adversely from the
committee, and on motion ordered to lie:
the question being on the third reading.
Senator Reynolds of Grand Isle, advo-
Gated the passage of the bill, saying that
its purpose was simply to restore the law
as it existed before 1870, under which no
respondent had ever suffered. The change
of the law made four years ago was in
order to prevent the enforcement of the
| liquor law.
Senator ROwell of Orange favored the
passage of the bill. The person who drew
the act of 1870 in amendment of the old
law, was evidently careful lawyer who
had clearer understanding of its charac-
ter than the legislature that passed it. AS
the law now is an error of uncertainty in
the time set up in complaint, will vitiate
It, Rogues escape justice through such
technicalities as these, which are not re-
gardcd as material under modern systems
of jurisprudence. Under the old law, dur
ing the eighteen years of its existence, no
instance is recorded where injustice was
done to a respondent. The rights of the
people should not be forgotten, while re-
specting the rights OF the criminal; third
reading ordered for tomorrow morning.
