Indictment for selling Intoxicating
liquors to j. M. Hawkins, to be drunk
where sold. Hawkins testified that
he got drink called strawberry wine,
or strawberry cordial, and that it
made his head feel dizzy. Defendant
and his son, and Charles Thornhill,
testified that they did not think it
was intoxicating.
The Judge charged the jury that if
they found from the evidence that the
drink sold was wine, then the case
was made out, as all wine is intoxi-
eating. There can be no wine with
out fermentation and all fermentation
produces alcohol, and all drinks which
contain alcohol are Intoxicating. lie
the evidence shows that the drink sold
was not wine, but cordial. still they
may inquire whether the evidence
shows that the liquor was in fact
intoxicating.
The jury in short time returned a
verdict Of guilty. Fine 500 and costs.

guilty-in fact, she was not guilty.
If she had got justice, she would not

they did return, but he was inclined
to be merciful, and the sentence would
be confinement in the Penitentiary
for Is months.
