The owner of intoxicating liquors in another state can not, by virtue of this provision of the federal constitution, come into this state or send his agent here and in defiance of the laws of this state carry on the business of soliciting orders or proposals for the purchase of such intoxicating liquors, to be shipped from such other state, without incurring the penalties of such laws.</p> <p>3. Contracts—Illegal Consideration. The courts will not enforce payments promised in consideration of services rendered in criminal transactions.</p> <p>4. -Impairment of Obligation. The fact that under a former decision, in an action to which the plaintiff was not a party, this court held that the statute above cited was, in its application to the particular facts, repugnant to the federal constitution, and that the services were rendered after such decision was announced,' does not affect the result.</p> <p>5.
