Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Liquor Laws — -“Persistent Violators” — Form of Information. An information, under chapter 165 of the Laws of 1911, the prohibitory liquor law felony act, may properly charge numerous violations of the law, each in a separate count.</p> <p>2. Same — Submission of Evidence to Jury. The court may submit to the jury as many counts of such an information as there is evidence to support.</p> <p>3. Same — “Shifts and Devices” in Sale of Liquors — Applies to Prosecution of “Persistent Violators.” Section 4372 of the General Statutes of 1909, concerning shifts and devices in the sale of intoxicating liquor, is a part of the prohibitory liquor law of this state, and applies to those who persist in violating that law, after having been convicted thereunder.</p> <p>4. PRACTICE — Qualification of Juror — No Abuse of Judicial Discretion. A challenge to a juror, for cause, is properly overruled, when the court is satisfied that the juror is competent, although the juror may state on his examination that he has some impression not amounting to a fixed opinion, but states that he will try the case on the evidence.</p>
