Syllabus

<p>Intoxicating Liquors (30, 33)-—Statutes (47)—Unlawful Possession—Implied Repeal—Amendatory Act. Laws 1917, ch. 19, making possession of intoxicating liquor unlawful is not in conflict with Rem. Code, § 6262-4, which forbids the manufacture, sale, barter, exchange or giving away of intoxicating liquor, except insofar as the proviso to such section allows one in lawful possession of intoxicating liquor to give it to a guest in his dwelling, to be drunk on the premises; hence the later law impliedly repeals only the proviso, without working a repeal of the body of the section to which the proviso is attached.</p> <p>Witnesses (120, 124)—Impeachment — Inconsistent Statements—Rebuttal. Where a witness on cross-examination denied making certain prior statements inconsistent with his testimony, after the time, place and circumstances were called to his attention, the testimony of other witnesses as to his having made such statements was properly admissible to impeach him.</p>
