¶1Information in the Common Pleas, in the usual form, for selling spirituous liquor to Edward White. *433a minor, without the consent of his father, Isaac W. White. Plea, guilty, and line 5 dollars. .
¶2The information is filed under the 2 R. S., section 26, p. 435
¶3In Brosee v. The State, the question presented was similar to this; indeed arose on the clause of the same section (section 26) relating to the giving or selling liquor to an intoxicated person. It was held that the 19th section of the act of March, 1853, repealed the provisions in 2 R. S., supra, on that subject
¶4Here the complaint, based upon a clause in the same section, relating to the sale of liquor to a minor without the consent of his parent, falls within the same rule. The two cases can not be distinguished. See Brosee v. The State, 5 Ind. R. 75.
¶5The judgment of the Common Pleas can not be sustained
¶6The judgment is reversed.
¶7 That section is as follows :
¶8“If any person, by himself or agent, shall sell or giye any intoxicating liquor to any minor, without the consent of his parent or guardian, or shall sell or give any intoxicating liquor to any person, at the time in a state of intoxication, he shall be fined not less than five, nor more than fifty dollars, and in such prosecution, when the principal is defendant, the agent may be compelled to testify, or, when the agent is prosecuted, the principal may be compelled to testify.”
¶9 The 19th section is as follows:
¶10“All laws on the subject of retailing intoxicating or spirituous liquors heretofore enacted are hereby repealed; but all offences against such laws shall be punished as if such laws had not been repealed.”
¶11 The judgments in the cases of Bruner v. The State and Bradley v. The State, on appeal from the Posey Court of Common Pleas, were reversed, on this day, for the reasons giren in this case, and by reference thereto merely; the record in both those cases presenting precisely the same question with the case in the text.
