overruled.
B. DannemiIler ct al VS. state of Ohio.
This case was appealed from a Justice
court at Kent, under adulterated food act,
tried to jury and plaintiff in error con-
victed. Court below did not err in charge
to jury, but as plaintiff in error was
charged with selling cream tartar that was
adulterated, yet it appears from the evil
dence that the article was never cream
tartar nor had any ingredients of cream
tartar, hence it could not be adulterated,
While plaintiff in error was guilty of sell
ing adulterated goods, yet there is no
other way for this court to do but reverse
the case.
Newton Dilley VS. Samuel Stonemetz,
motion that this case was not appealable
from justice docket, sustained.
