NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1858. | i [ ih Ff Hy i i it $i FEF fel i iG : | i i fe 33 E : E 4 H | H ERSE : : i ‘ S282 gE : H a8 ‘3 i 3 i t 3 i i ry ne hy nema.

Upon a carefal exeminastoa of the statute, it seems to me that the conclusion is irresistible therefore is ainst “the design on the part of Legielatare “in the a4 laws wo change @ 20 B ehould a ‘clear ex Of the legisiative will to that effect to jastify the courts ip of- fences against those laws are no longer indictavie. The act under consideration, in its leading characteristics, i ‘wery similar to the oid excise laws, Dota io its end ite penalties. Under those laws theseliiag ia quac- tes Jese Lap Dye ga lons was — by peoattiias in substantially the eame form as in the present ast; aud the ‘eme Court, im the cases of The reople vs. Swvens Wend. 341), and The People vs. Brown {16 Wend., A), beld that selling the prohibited quantities without |i- cenve, were offences against the provisions of the act, and, there'ore, misdemeanors and indiciable. If, therefore, weling without liceree constituted offeaces against the provisions of that act, it is difficult to fad any good rea son why similar of the present statute snoald not: gig» be deemed offences against its provisions. And if Shey are to be deemed offences, no one will deny that ‘they are indictabie. 2 The whole scope and character of the act shows thet the term “offence,” when it is used *in connection with these directions which are oply applicable wo miade- meanors, is not used in a limited vense, but was used to define a!) suostantial violations of the provisions of the act By eection 16 it is made the duty of certain officers therein enumerated to arreat ‘all persons fouad actually engeged iu the commissien of any offence in vio: Jason Of this sct and forthwith to carry suzh person be- fore any magistrate,” &o., who is to try |, or hoid them to bail,as for ‘apy other misdemeanor triabie by « Court of Special Sestious. In @ sudsequent part of the sawe section it is made the duty of “the magistrate to eatertan any compiainta of « violation of this ac; made by any person under oath, and forthwith to issue ® war- rapt apc causs such off:nder to be brought before him to comply with the provisions of this sechon,” &. Here the term used ie, “any complaint of a violation of this act,’ snd upon such compiamt being made & warraat lew be esued. The term * offence,” waich the coun- sel for We prisoner tpsists only means those violations of the laws declared in the act iteelf to be misde mearors is vot used, but the more general term, violation of (hus act,’ and the proceediags directed to be taken by the magistrate are such as are applicaoie to easce of misdemenvors only. So section 29, it is mace the duty of courts ‘+ to inesract grand jurors to iu- quire into. ali offences against the provisions o( tals act, ‘v4 to present ail offepaers under this act.” Now it is Bot to be assumed that the Legislature would have in- serted so carefuily ip the act these special drections ta police ollicers, Dagistrales and ovurts, iD order to se- cure extraordinary vigilance in (he detection and convic. tion of offenders agaiast the three of four comparatively @nimportant provisions Of the ast, whica are specially @eciared o be miscemencore. 3. The act of selling wituont license is called in those secuons of the statute imposing the penalties offences. By section 13 it is declared inet POs pander ob yr any piropg or spirituous bqaors or wines, in quantives in ew, ‘ko ahal for feit Ofty dotlars tor each offsnce.’” By section 14 “ whoever shall sell, to be drank in bis house, ko , shall forfeit fifty doilars for each offsace.”” In ws Ubrough the statule, vioisuons of the provisions actare ermed offences. And it isa primary rule © ik terpretation of statutes, that when Une seme term scion is used in different parts of the same ste Se ee Sc, uae take et See arary very plainly & ve Deen the inten- tbe Legisiavare..
