An ordinance of tie town CT Berkeley.
Col. forbade the sale of liquor on Sun
day. For the purpose of laying the foun-
dation for prosecuting saloonkeeper for
violating the ordinance the town en-
pioyed man to purchase liquor from him
on Sunday. The saloonkeeper was tried
and convicted on this evidence, but on
appeal the Judgment was reversed by the
Court of Appeals on the ground that the
city cannot be heard to complain of a
sale OF liquor in violation of its ordinance
wher~ the city itself was instrumental in
procuring the sale. In their opinion the
court said: THE city is in no position
to say that its ordinance was violated
1t was as much responsible for the sale
OF the liquor as the defendant, and 1t will
not be permitted to replenish its treas
ury from penalties incurred at its instiga-
