Head Matter:
IVINSON vs. CIRCUIT JUDGE (Isabella),
No. 11960½.

Opinion:
To compel respondent to quash, an indictment.
Denied May 5, 1891.
Relator was indicted for selling liquor without first paying the tax. The sole basis of the application is that the indictment does not negative the exception in the statute. The indictment recites "he not being then and there a druggist who^ sells liquor for chemical, scientific, medicinal, mechanical or sacramental purposes only," but omits the clause "and in strict compliance with law."
