ruled all demurrers and convicted the
defendants.
An appeal will probably be taken
at once to the Supreme Court to con-
test the constitutionality OF the game
law.
Three defendants were charged with
violating the anti-shipping law by car
rying more than one gallon OF whiskey
from the dispensary at Blocton into
prohibition territories in Bibb Coun-
ty.
Judge Pratt overruled the contention
of the Solicitor. saying the defendants
were not guilty of violating the anu
shipping law, dismissed the cases;
holding that as whisky is sold at two
points in Bib County, persons could
carry any amount of whisky they saw
fit from these two places to any other
part of Bibb County without violating
the. law.
AS the State has no right to appeal
it is probable some other method will
be taken to test the view taken by
Judge Pratt 1t is probable that some
steps will be taken to get the ques-
