Syllabus

<p>Oleomargarine — Multiplying penalties — Act of May 21, 1885.</p> <p>The selling of oleomargarine, the having it in possession, and the exposing of it for sale on the same day, are not separate offences under the act of May 21, 1885, for which penalties can be multiplied. The sale in such a ease embraces all that has gone before and leads up to it, as necessary incidents, and constitutes one completed violation of the act.</p>
