The first, error assigned fop.rejyer^al.'is the .admission of evidence procured under a search warrant issued upon an Affidavit AVhieh was' hot sufficient to give the' justice of the peace jurisdiction to-issue. !
The record sustains this assignment.'By numerous decisions of this court it is held that liquor obtained by a search of defendant's premises under a search warrant issued without authority of law for the sole purpose of obtaining evidence against him in violation of the Bill of Rights, § 30, guaranteeing security of- the people in their right to be exempt in their persons, houses, papers, and effects from unreasonable searches and seizure, is inadmissible against him.
