Dissenting Opinion
Jackson, C. J.
— I disagree with the majority opinion herein for the reason that in my opinion appellants’ motion to quash the affidavit should have been sustained.
The statute under which this prosecution was instituted, Acts 1959, ch. 194, §2, p. 441, being §10-3025, Bums’ 1962 Cum. Supp., is silent as to whether or not the “goods offered for sale or displayed by any mercantile establishment” are lawfully in possession of such establishment.
Note. — Reported in 187 N. E. 2d 571.
