Head Matter:
[498] [*] PARKE against ADAMS.
OH CERTIORARI.
The action below was brought to recover a penalty for selling spirituous liquors by small measure, without license to keep -tavern; the state of demand set out a single breach of the law, and went for one penalty. The jury, in finding the verdict, said that they found for the plaintiff ten dollars, and the judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for ten dollars. It was contended that the verdict and judgment ought to have particularly specified, that it was for a particular penalty.

Opinion:
By the Court.
The action was but for one penalty, which was specifically set out in the state of demand. The verdict and judgment is therefore sufficiently certain.
Judgment affirmed.
