IMPORTANT DISPENSARY DECISION.
The Seizure OF Vehicles In Which Illegal
Liquors Is Being Transported.

Columbia cor. News and Courier.
The Supreme Court has rendered
an opinion of much Importance in
connection with the seizure Of liquor
by constables. II was case from
Spartanburg entitled Matte Moore
w Ben W. Eubanks. The constable
had seized vehicle LEGGED to have
been used in unlawfully transport
ing liquor and, according to the
usual custom, contiscated it. IN 40.
tion of claim and delivery WAS insti
tuted in the Circuit Court, which
decided that such action could not
be taken, but that if the property
was recovered at all it would have to
be through the Governor or State
Board Of Control, which had been
the procedure in such cases.
An appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court, which holds that an
action of claim and delivery might
be brought to test whether the
seizure OF liquors by dispensary con-
stables was in accordance with law
or not, no other remedy for an al
legged seizure being provided in the
dispensary law.
This upsets the whole procedure
heretofore and is likely that many
cases will arise on the contention
that vehicles and liquor had been ille-
gally seized. There is Il case of that
sort in Columbia now.

The interest i'll the change Of venue
today was second only to the verdict.
When Judge Redwine refused to

tlon it was stated by many in the
Court House that the presiding Judge
had heard from Governor Beckham,
Who is generally believed to have had
something to do with the change of
venuo to Harrison County, which is
in the 18th judicial district of Ken
tucky, where j. j. Osborne is the Cir
cult Judge, l.. p. Fryer is the Com.
monwealth's attorney, and the sheriff
and other Court officers are also fa.
vorably known. With such general
confidence in the surroundings of the
next trial there is Il general belief
here that "Everything is for the best.
after ALL" If the verdict had been
one of conviction the residents here
feel that violence would have fol-
lowed and that it would have exten.

and those who had taken part in the
