In the case of Atwell versus Gum,

GAINED that the act of the legisla-
tuie providing for such confscation
and sale is unconstitutional because it
violates certain property rights laid
down n the organic law of the state,
but in setting up the contention the
plaintiff failed TO raise constitutional
grounds Of such a nature as to entitle

OF appeals, and hence the case has
been decided without an opinion as to
the constitutionality of seizure and

The contention was made in this
case that the owner of the automobile
was not in it when it was seized, and
that the man then driving it had the
car in his possession without t
knowledge or consent of he owner
