ng houses shall not degenerate into dram

ing houses shall not degenerate into dram
shops.
Tne last contention is that the ordi.
nance does. mot apply to restaurants.
The first section of the ordinance names
csrtain places as tipping houses. dram
shops, cellars. saloon, bar, bar room,
sample room or other PLACES.
1t is urged that the phrase "other
places" is restricted to places of the ga me
class as those enumerated; that general
words preceded by particular words are
restricted to the particular words.
Undoubtedly there are cases where the
contention of defendant applies. but not
always. nor indeed in the majority of
cases where a statute is similarly worded.
l apIrshend the rule to be that where
it is apparent from the subject matter
and the wording OF the statute that the
general words are intended to include
caseS not named in the particular words
then the general words are no limitation
on particular words; and in this case.
from the very nature OF the subject oil tn e
ordinance, it must bs held to include
other places than those enumerated, els g
feet in prohibiting places where liquors
might be sold.
