Syllabus

<p>Liquor laws — Place, of sale — Agent.</p> <p>Under a license to sell liquors a dealer may,ship liquor by a carrier or by his own conveyance directly to customers beyond the county in which he is licensed, on orders received in the regular course of business; or on orders obtained outside the county through a solicitor. In such cases the sale is regarded as made at the dealer’s place of business, and not in the county of the customer’s residence, and this even though the price is to be collected by the carrier on delivery. But when a dealer’s agent takes orders in another county, and fills them by delivering liquor furnished him by his employer in the county in which the latter is licensed; it is a violation of law. In such a case the sale is regarded as made when the order is taken and the liquor delivered, and it is immaterial that the packages were labeled by the dealer with the names of the purchasers.</p>
