Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Intoxicating Liquors — Evidence—Records of United States Revenue Collector. On the trial of a person charged with the violation of the prohibitory law a copy of the record in the office of the United States revenue collector, taken by a person other than the custodian of such record, and by him sworn to be a true copy, is admissible as evidence tending to show that the defendant is engaged in the business of a retail liquor dealer. .</p> <p>2. - Public Document — Explanatory Evidence. Where such evidence has been admitted it will not be deemed erroneous also to admit blank form No. 11, used in the United States revenue service, for the purpose of explaining the meaning of the letters “R. L. D.” used in the copy of the record already in evidence.</p> <p>3. - Judicial Notice. The significance of the letters “R. L. D.,” when used in the records of the office of the United States revenue collector, is so well and generally known that courts may take judicial notice thereof.</p>
