DECISION ABOL|SHtS
BILLS Of EXCEPTION
supreme Court Clears Legal fimos-
phere i'm Its Ruling in Case OF
ELLIS VS.. Town of Coyiueton

A decision of much interest and
importance to the legal profession of
this state. the effect of which is to
abolish bills of exceptions, was hand
ed down by the supreme court of APP
peais at its November term in Rich
mond under the style of Ellis VS..
IoWn OF Covington. The general as
sembly at its session Of 1913 passed
two acts on the subject OF the man
ner or getting into the record of a
case matter which would not other
wise be a part OF the record. These
acts were apprbved on the same day.
One OF the acts again amended sec
ton Ass of the code, dealing with
the subject of bills of exceptions,
and this act containing an emergency
clause, went into effect Immediately.
The other act abolished bills of ex-
ceptioas and substituted certificates
OF exceptions in lieu Of the former
procedure. This act not containing
an emergency clause did not become
effective until June II, 1918. The
two acts being in apparent conflict.
ANY lawyers were In doubt whether
they could still prepare their cases
for the appellate court by the use
of the bill OF exception, or whether
II was necessary for them TO do SO
by the certificate. Some were Of
opinion that they could use either
method.
The court held that. The emer-
gency act was operative at once, and
continued in force during the interva
between its passage and the time at
which the act abolishing bills of ex-
ceptions took effect when it was i'm
mediately repealed Comm emitting
on the liberal construction that
should be given the act aboiishinS
bills Of exceptions and substituting
the certificates. the court said: The
act abolishing bills OF exception. now
in force. was intended, however, to
simplify the procedure. and Is very
liberal in its provisions as to what
shall constitute a sufficient certificate.
- 1.-THE mere form of teh exception.
therefore. even A formal bill of ex-
ception under the former practice
will not prevent its consideration IL
the provisions Of the act are suostan-
TALLY complied with

BAN ON BAY RUM

The druggist who sells bay rum to soldiers who are in or out of uniform. stands a chance of arrest on a grave federal charge. Down in Douglas a drug company was found'to have sold high voltage bay rum to seventeen sol diers who got drunk and reeled in
 he streets. each with bay rum bot ties in his hand. The stuff was mark ed 30 per cent alcohol The law against selling to soldiers in Bisbee will be rigidly enforced as it is on the border. as a result of instructions received at the United States mar shals office. While it is not believed the bay rum sold in Bisbee is of the high alcohol contents of the bay rum of Douglas. the sale of any of it will be sufficient to cause an arrest.
