Code, § 9249, authorizing a distraint for taxes, from the fact that it was removed from the storeroom and placed in a storage warehouse when the prohibition law went into effect and it could no longer be used in the business; and the county treasurer would be liable for its unlawful distraint.</p> <p>Parker, J., dissents.</p>
