Syllabus

<p>Obiminal law—jurisdiction—punishment of offenses in incorporated-city. A party may be punished by indictment for keeping open a tipplingbouse on the Sabbath day, notwithstanding the offense may have been committed within an incorporated city invested with power to regulate the sale, etc., of intoxicating liquors, and such city had passed ordinances regulating saloons, etc., where it does not appear that the act was authorized by the municipal authorities and the party charged has not been punished under such authority. The rule is different where exclusive jurisdiction is conferred upon the municipal authorities.</p>
