The supreme court of Vermont is likely
to be called upon to decide the constitu.
tionality OF the new search and seizure law
passed by the legislature of 1894, as it is pro.
posed to make test case of the recent raid |
at the Central House. Under the provis-
ions OF this law, the officer who makes the |
raid shall arrest the person found In charge |
and bring him into court with the liquor |
seized. II the liquor Is declared forfeited |
by the court, the person arrested shall pay |
the cost OF the search and the court. 1t is
claimed that the law is unconstitutional on
the ground that it subjects the man to a
penalty and compels him to pay fine with
out allowing him jury trial.
