against the above named respondent
come from the superior court for Ken
ncbec county, September term, 1908, on
exceptions.
Those are all indictments found
against c. II. Libby for viola ton of the
law against the sale of Intoxicating
liquors. The respondent seasonahly
filed Il plea in abatement in proper
form and aVerred that his name was
Cyrillc II. Libby and not c. II. Libby
as in the indictment alleged. The
State filed a replication that the re-
sponGcnt was as well known by the
name of c. H. Libby as by that of Cy-
rifle II. Libby. To this replication the
defendant demurred and a demurrer
was joined. The demurrer was over
ruled but the replication ajudged good
The demurrer admitted all the facts
stated in the replication. The only
question therefore presented by tins
exceptions is. if a nerson is as wei
known BY the initials c. H. as by the
name Cyrille H., can he be properly
indicted in the name of the initials?

side OF the Kennebec bridge. The put
ting up OF the structure comes TWO
weeks earlier this year than last. and
was the result of special request on

cross TIE bridge daily, the complaint
being that the autumn breezes toyed

quently he withdrew the plea of not

At the March Term. 1906. the de-
PENDANT was again indicted for Il single
sale to one Edward G. Wiggett To
this Indictment the respondent entered
a plea of not guilty, was tried ana
acquitted. Ii seems that the alleged
sales were made to Cameron and
Wiggett at the same time and Wee
parts of one and the same transaction.
on the trial Of the latter case. Joseph
Cameron, to whom in this Indictment
it is alleged the sale of Intoxicating
LIQUOR was made, testified that on The
18th day of January 1906, at Rumford
Falls, in Il place called the Siddall Beer
shop one Edwin C.. Wiggett bought
two glasses of whiskey from a party
not the respondent, and whose name.
to said Cameron was unknown, ana
that he, Cameron. at the same time,
bought two glasses of whiskey from
the same person. And the said
Cameron further testified on cross ex-
animation that he had no knowledge
of whom were the proprictors of the
place. 1t also appeared in evidence.
that the term 'Siddall Peer Shop" was
a general term, used to designate the
place. regardless of the name Of the
proprCtors.'
Counsel for respondent thereupon
| moved that the respondent be allowed
to retract his plea of nolo contendere
| and plead not guilty. This motion was
Overruled by the court and the resp"n-
| dent sentenced. To this ruling excep-
| tiOns We're taken.
"A plea of nolo contendere when ac-
| copied by the court, is. in it's effect
| upon the case. equivalent to the plea
| of guilty. The judgment of convic-
| ton falls upon such plea as well as
upon a plea of guilty, and such a plea
| if accepted. cannot be withdrawn and
| a plea of not guilty entered except by
| leave of court" Commonwealth VS..
Ingersoll, 145 Mass. 3S1.
The whole matter was in the sound
discretion of the Justice presiding, and
this court will not interfere except in a
case of abuse Of discretion
