CAN'T DESTROY BOTTLES
New York Court Renders Important De
cision in Regard to Seizure of
Liquor Illegally Held.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Supreme
Court Justice Brady has decided that
that part of the recent amendment to
the excise law which gave to excise os-
hcers the right to destroy bottles con-
tanning seized liquor where the title
10 the bottles is claimed by a third per
son is unconstitutional decision which
greatly gratities bottlers of beer and
liquors who retain an ownership in the
bottles.
The case i'll point was argued before,
Justice Brady some time ago. 1t had to
do with Il seizure made by excise officers
at Il Second avenue restaurant. where it
was said beer was being sold without 4
license. Two hundred and thirty-eigbt
bottles OF beer were seized and the eX-
else officials asserted the right to de-
straE the bottles, which right was dis
putcd by the owner of them, il bother
named Mas. The court said in part:
While within the reasonable exercise
of It's police power the Legislature may
provide for the contiscation. forfeiture,
and destruction of liquors kept for the
purpose of sale or distribution contrary
TO the liquor tax law. and may perhaps
have the right To provide for the destruc-
ton Of the vessels containing Sucn
liquors when owned by the guilty possess
Sor. l cannot cOnccde the right to order
+he destruction Of such vessels when
Wned by another without any manner
of notice to such owner or opportunity
