DIT. Jusclce Gary, IN his opinion con.
curing with the opinion OF the chief
justice, after reviewing the facts of the
case and quoting several sections Of
the dlspensary law applicable to the
case, says:
When those sections are con-
strued together they show first that
inc act does not prohibit, but on the
contrary IN express language, permits
a person to keep liquor in his posses
sion ior ms own use. Second, that In
order TO throw the protection Of the
law around the liquor in his posses
SION tor MS own use, 1T ls necessary to
lurhlsn an inventory OF the quantity
ana klhds 10 the State commissioner
ana apply Tor certificate to aflix there
to.
Third, that If the liquor in his
possession is seized because it has not
necessary C0rtllCuteS and labels
Re- requlred oy the act, and ne claims the
llqu"r, the burden Of proof is upon him
to she" thai it Is for his own use.
Inc act contemplated That there
Wouia necessarily ne some time alter
1he llquor came lnlO possession OF the
person ior MS own use before ne could
apply 10 the State commissioner Tor
me necessary certlhcates and labels.
II IL was selzed because 1T did not have
the necessary certlncates and labels,
ii ne was even snen 10 % deprived OF the
