SALE OF LIQUOR 70 MINoRs.-In the Hus-
tpgs Court yesterday the case Of Charles
Euker, for selling liquor to minors without
the consent of their parents, was argued on
demurrer of defendants counsel to indict-
ment on the gound that it did not give the
name Of the party to whom the liquor was
alleged to have been sold. The motion was
overruIed, and the trial of Mr. Euker pro-
ceeded as test-case. Colonel John B.
Young and Dir. G. D. Wise acted as counsel
for defendant.
The case was given to the jury, who failed
to agree at the morning session, and the
court adjourned until $50 p. M. In the
afternoon they came again into court, but
being unable to agree were discharged. The
jury stood seven for acquittal and five for
conviction. There were three "Sons Of
Temperance" on the jury.
