A Peculiar Prosecution Under the
PrOhiDitOry Law AT Burlington.

On Saturday, DR. A. A. Harrington,a well
known citizen of Burlington, was arraigned
on complaint of City Grand Juror L. f.
Brownell, in which he was charged with
manufacturing and selling Intoxicating
drink, TO wit-grapc vine. l.. l.. Law
renee appeared for the respondent, A
number of prominent citizens were sum
moned as witnesses for the the prosecution.
We give the testimony and history OF the
trial before Judge NJ. II. Tyler, of the city
court, as reported in the Burlington Free
Press of Saturday evening.
L. p. Shaw testified that his wife had a
bottle of wine of Mrs. Harrington; did not
know whether she paid tor it or not
Prof, VIM. G. Simmons, of the universe
ty, testified as having purchased two bot
ties of wine of DR. Harrington, it having
been prescribed by his physician for his
wife, who was i'll.
Rev. Geo. b. Stafford had purchased
wine, for sickness, of the respondent, not
to exceed half dozen times. and had
been told by him that he manufactured il.
lie had also purchased through the doctor
quarter of a cask of ale.
;. H. lerrick had never purchased wine
OF respondent, but knew that he manufac-
tured it.
Robert McCollom had purchaseda bottle
OF wine from DIR. Harrington, his wife be-
ing sick, for which he paid 81.
T. A, Wheelock had purchased, on one
occasion, when his wife was sick, a quanti-
ty of wine, for which he paid 81. lie pro-
cured it in flask or jug, which he himself
furnished.
Mr.. Brownell insisted that the prosecu-
ton had proved nine offences and that re-
sponndct was therefore guilty of being a
common seller; and also that he was liable
to fine of 500 for being manufacturer
of intoxicating liquor, Mr.. Brownell quoted
decisions of cases in the supreme court of
Vermont bearing upon this case.
Mr.. Lawrence, in reply, said this was the
first temperance case that had arisen under
the prohibitory law in this city. All other
prosecutions had been Instituted, where
some evil had resulted. But here this res
pendent had only acted the part of the

good Samaritan in furnishing this wine TO
relieve the necessities of sick women. lie
commended that the spirit of the law did not
contemplate such acts as that of the res
pondent as q violation of it. Yet above all
there was higher law, which justified the
respondent in this instance. Again, he did
not believe the legislature, when they en-
acted the prohibitory law, intended that it
should cover such sales of the Juice of the
grape. He also commented upon the fact
that these witnesses when summoned, had
not attempted to run away, but came up
squarely and told the truth. lie thanked
God that there was at last one case tried
under this law without perjury.
Mr. Brownell, in closing the case for the
state, quoted the provisions of the prohibit
tory law in relation to this case, and said
that he had not instituted this prosecution
with malice, but on complaint of respecta-
bic citizens, who had furnished him the
names of the witnesses
Judge Tyler, in rendering his decision.
said he must decide this case according to
the statute, and leave the case of the higher
law to higher courts to settle. The deci-
sions OF the courts recognized all liquors as
intoxicating to greater or less extent, and
therefore upon the evidence presented he
must adjudge the respondent guilty of be-
ing common seller and impose upon him
"a fine of 800 and costs.
DIR. Harrington at once appealed the case
to the county court, and the witnesses were
all recognized to appear before that tri-
bunal
The Free Press closes its report as fol-
lows; "Thc courtroom was well filled
during the trial, which lasted the entire
forenoon, with interested and amused spec
tators, the general opinion seeming to be,
that the prosecution was about the biggest
joke of the season."

In offering 4 few remarks by way Of
comment on the above letter, we shall
begin with the concluding passage, which
gives it as the opinion of our correspon-
dent that " planters would be well served
by getting even as low as 4 per cent Of
the weight of the canes" We under
stand this to mean the cash value, accord
ing to the current market rate of the infe-
rior quality of sugar now made, which is
of less value than that made by the fac
tories by about So per Cwt. We admit
the correctness OF u correspondents OBJ
servations that the present ruinous system
does not even give 4 per cent, and also
his other arguments of the waste caused
by the present unfortunate blending Of
what ought to be two separate and distinct
industries, the raising Of the canes and their
manufacture into sugar, rum and perhaps
paper; but then it gives secondary pro-
ducts in the way Of food for man and
beast, which will be lost to him under the
new plan. Our correspondent, who is
q practical man, will readily understand
that, and when he mentioned the 4 per
cent as acceptable at all, it must have
been in comparison with the present
waEteful operations, which are not confined
to the estate where the sugar is grown and
boiled, but are continued till it reaches
