An Important Point of Law.

Illeston Wadlin, Esq, Clerk of Courts for
Waldo County, has received from the Law
Court the order of Chief Justice Peters to
plaintiff in review vs. Joseph E. Dohertv,
defendant in review, to the Supreme Court
of the United States. Al the January term
1892, Doherty entered a suit against Knowl-
ton on account annexed for bill of liquors
purchased in Massachusetts. At the Jan
uary term, 1898, Knowlton was defaulted and
an execution was issued for Si0501 Knowl-
ton petitioned for review at the January
term, 1894, when the case was sent to the
Law Court on report. May 9, 1895, the
certificate was received from the Law Court
giving Judgment for Knowlton for the
amount of the former Judgment for debt and
costs, with interest, which left a balance due
Knowlton of $3.50. The rescript which
covers a legal point of interest is as follows:
Where Intoxicating liquors are bought in
another State, with the intention of selling
them in this State in violation of law, the
vender cannot maintain an action to recover
the purchase price i'll any of the courts of
this State. And it is immaterial whether or
not such vender knew the illegal intention
upon the part OF the purchaser or in any
way participated in the same The statute
referred to is not in violation of that clause
of the federal constitution which gives Con-
gress the power to regulate commerce be-
tween the States. And was not prior to the
act of Congress, approved August s, 1890,
making interstate commerce relating to in
toxicating liquors subject to the police pow
ers of the several States. If liquors were
bought in another State prior to the act of
August, 1890, with intention to sell them
in this State in the original packages, it
would not, at that time, have been an inten-
tion to violate the law. But the court finds
that the purchaser of these liquors, bought
before August 6, 1890, did not intend to sell
in the original packages, but did intend to
sell them at retail and in violation of law
Doherty, through his attorney, R. W.
Rogers, then pettioned for writ of error
and to change the case to the United States
Supreme Court which was granted.

A Tennessee business man in Boston
last week reported that all party lines are
broken in his State and that the Demo-

the South in silver anyway" he enquired.
''What we would like is some legislation
that would help us in our cotton industry.

narrow view of the situation, but it seems
to me that is just what the west is doing

Considering that for years the discussion
