lables required by the act, and be
claims the liquor the burden of proof
is upon him to show that it is for his
own use
The act contemplated that there
would necessarily be some time after
the liquor came into possession of the
person for his own use before he
could apply to the State commissioner
for the necessary certificates and
labels If it was seizd because it
did not have the necessary certificates
and labels, he was even then not to be
deprived of the liquor, provided he
could show it was for his own use;
but in that case. the burden Of proof
would be upon him to show it was
for such purpose Any other con.
struction of the act would make a
person a violater of the law who
simply received as present bottle
o; liquor coming from another State,
although it might be bis intention
forthwith to apply to the
State commissioners for the necessary
certificates and labels to afix to it.
ga construction contrary to that
which we place upon the act would
even make person q Violater of the
law who took drink of wbiskey un.
less it came from the dispensary.
eve cannot think this was the
intention Of the legislature
"For these reasons we concur in
the conclusion announced by Mr..
Chief Justice McIver /"
JUSTICE JONES POSITION.
Justice Jones. in his decision sus-
taining the lower court, contends
that the sole question for determina-
ton is whether the dispensary act
of 1856 prohibits under penalty the
storing or keeping of Intoxicating
liquors without having on the ves-
Sc: the stamp Of the State com mis-
sioner. "The construction contendeds
for by the learned chief justice" he
holds, would practically nullify the
dispensary law, for it is not possible
to hold that the keeping of intoxicat-
ing liquors in possession without the
prerniss;on of the stamp is Inot pun
ishable unless il was kept for unlaw
full use, and not be compelled to hold
the same thing in reference to the
manufacture and sale of such liquor.
Moreover, if sale of intoxicating
liquors is not unlawful. unless made
for an unlawful use, then a keeping
in possession of con:raband liquor
for sale for lawful use is nos unlaw-
fui. This would make paradise for
blind tigers; | should say, rather,
there would be no blind tigers since
everybody could sell and Keep for
sale Intoxicating liquors openly and
with impunity.
"The construction we contend for
is not only the natural and gram
matical construction of the language
used, but is consistent with the
scheme Of the dispensary act, where
as, the other construction is the un
natural, ungrammatical aud destruc-
tive of the design and operation of
the dispensary law The question is
one of construction merely. 1t. is
simply our duty to declare the law.
We have nothing to do with its wis
dom or its severity The hardness
should of it's operation, real or sup
posed, not in the least swerve us from
our plain duty. There was no error in
the charge of the Judge complained
of, and the judgment of the circuit
court should be affirmed.

Mr.. Justice Gary, in his opinion,
concuring with the opinion of the
chief justice, after reviewing the
facts of the case and quoting several
sections of the d'speasary law ap,
plicable to the case, says:
when these sections are con-
struced together they show first that
the act does not prohibit, hut on the
contrary in express language permits
person to keep liquor IN his posses
sion for his own use. Second, that
in order to throw the protection Of
the law around the liquor in his pos.
session for his own use, it is neces-
sary to furnish an inventory Of the
quantity and kinds TO the State com
missioner and apply for certificate to
ahix thereto.
"Third, that if the liquor in his
possession is seized because it has
not ,ba ,oooa.fa certificates and
