Syllabus

<p>INTOXICATING LIQUORS — SALE DEFINED— CHARGING SALE.</p> <p>Under an ordinance of a city that provides: “That whoever sells or causes to be sold, either for money or other valuable consideration, any spirituous, vinous or malt liquors in the City of West Palm Beach, Florida, shall be punished,” etc., an affidavit that alleges: “That the defendant on a named date in the city aforesaid did violate the ordinance by causing intoxicating liquor to he sold in the City of West Palm Beach, Florida, contrary to the law in such cases,” etc., sufficiently charges a violation of the ordinance, though it omits to charge that the sale alleged was “either for money or other valuable consideration” in the language of the ordinance, since an allegation that a person sold a thing, necessarily includes the allegation that he sold it for money.</p>
