That an action for damages cannot be based on the plaintiffs own wrong and that he cannot collect damages for the crime he himself committed, WAS the point raised by Judge RichaI E. Sloan in the $25,0 900 action brought by Ira E. Troutner against Walter Hill and the Walter Hill company.
 Troutner instituted proceedings on the ground that he contracted with the defendant to sell cider which was represented to him as intoxicating liquor. Wholly relying on this repre- sentation, Troutner claims, he pur- chased the cider which he sold and which contained per cent alcohol. He was prosecuted for violation of the liquor law and sentenced to 30 days in the county jail and fined $500 or as many days and was compelled to serve

part of the fine in time. He alleges that his reputation was injured as a result and places the responsibility with the wholesaler selling the cider"
 After the jury was selected and J. s. Jenckes, counsel for the plaintiff. had made the opening statement to the jury, Judge Sloan declared that the supreme court had held that it was tile duty of a man to ascertain what lie sold. and hls carelessnass and ic- difference did rot excuse him.
 Tt was his solemn duty and obliga- tion to find out for himself whether or not the cider was an intoxicating liquor," said Judge Sloan. The con- plaint fails to state cause of action, and l ask tia. the case be dismis,ed "
 Judge Sloan coItended that Trout ner had no relief from the effects of his own violation Of the law and cited numerous cases to support his con- tention.
 Judge Pattee, who is sitting in the case in which Judge Stanford is dis qualified, replied that it was obvious that Judge Sloan's point was we'll taken and stated he would rule on the matter at 9:30 o'clock this morning.
