Syllabus

<p>Intoxicating Liquors—Regulations—Druggists—Place or Storage. Tbe fact that a druggist stored five quarts of whiskey in his home does not show an intent to dispose of it unlawfully, as the law does not require that druggist’s stocks of liquor be stored in any particular building.</p> <p>Sami:—Seizures—Right to Possession. Where a druggist had acquired the possession of liquor legally and made it part of the stock of his drug store and subsequently lost the drug store because of default in the payments on the purchase price, he had a right to the possession of the whiskey, notwithstanding the loss of his right to retail it on medical prescriptions.</p>
