Indiana Supreme Court · decided 1874-11-15

<p>From the Hamilton Circuit Court.</p>

Decided 1874-11-15

Worden, J.

¶1Prosecution against the appellant for selling. *119intoxicating liquor to a person in the habit of getting intoxicated. Trial by court and conviction.

¶2The only question made is, whether the evidence sustains the conviction. We think it does not. It scarcely shows that the person to whom the liquor was sold was in the habit, at the time, of becoming intoxicated; but if it does, it repels the idea that the defendant either knew or had the means of knowing it.

¶3The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.
