Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Intoxicating Liquors — Possession as Prima Facie Evidence. It is within the constitutional power of the legislature to declare the possession of intoxicating liquor, except in a private dwelling unconnected with a place of business, by a person not legally authorized to sell such liquor, to be prima facie evidence of its possession for purposes of illegal sale.</p> <p>2. -Act of 1901 Held Valid. The title of chapter 232, Laws of 19Q1 (Gen. Stat. 1901, §§2193-2500), being “An act relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors, and the suppression of places where such liquors are sold or used or kept for sale or use contrary to law,” is sufficiently broad to include the subject of the legislative rule of evidence declared in section 8 of the act.</p>
