Foreign CorrespOndence Of The Star

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
WINCHESTER. Va, September 4. 1900.
Much depends on the Virginia supreme
courts construction of section G}l2 of the
Byrd liquor law and it is stated that an
early decision can be expected from that
tribunal, which will set at rest the ques-
ton of the constitutionality of the law.
When the court convened in Staunton this
week the case of the commonwealth
against Robert NJ. Henry of Winchester,
charged with violating section 23i2, was
taken lIp first, argued by counsel and sub
Ynitted A decision is expected some time
next week.
The claim of the defendant was that Sec
ton o3I.. of the Byrd law created a monop-
oily for the brewers OF Virginia, and that
the regulations prescribed for the sale OF
near beer were unnecessarily stringent.
The commonwealth contends that the reg
ulation of the malt beverage class OF
liquors was clearly within the police power
of the state, and that the unrestricted
sale of near beer although harmless in II
self was likely TO lead 10 an evasion OF
the law and TO facilitate the operation Of
blind tigers" There are number OF
Identical cases pending in courts through
out the state. Several lower courts have
ruled that that section is unconstitutional
