SeLLINO blQUOK WITHOUT LICENSE.
Under the act of Virginia prohibiting the sale of spirituous liqucs without license, all the acts of selling before conviction constitute but one offence.

Opinion:
Indictment [against Robert Gordon] for retailing spirituous liquors. [For prior proceedings, see Case No. 15,233.] The judgment was arrested; because the indictment charged it as a second offence, before the defendant was convicted of a first; the court being of opinion that all selling before conviction constituted but one offence.
