PROHIBITED ACTS, PENALTIES AND PROCEDURE

*The following cases decided prior to enactment of the Liquor Control Act of 1933: Plaintiff's liquors, kept for illegal sale, were attached and removed as goods of another party; no damages recoverable. 29 C. 479. Negotiable paper given as price of liquor illegally sold, if transferred after due, is void. 31 C. 47. Payments once applied for liquors illegally sold cannot be diverted to apply to the legal items in the account. Id., 268. All liquors intended to be sold contrary to law are a nuisance, not merely those seized by legal proceedings; the owner, whose agent keeps liquors for sale illegally, cannot replevy them when taken on execution as the agent's property. 49 C. 163. Whether liquors were kept with intent to sell illegally is a question of fact. 52 C. 271. Order given in this state but transmitted to and filled in New York was held to be a sale there. 74 C. 534. Fraud of one party as affecting statute. 93 C. 693. Lease providing for reduction of rental if city “should go no license” held to include Volstead act. 98 C. 751. Note given for purchase price of interest in saloon or intoxicating liquors is void between parties; if such note is given for purchase price of place reputed to be a place where such liquors were sold, holder may recover by showing reputation was not founded on fact. 104 C. 707.
