Commonwealth vs. Franklin Hoffman.--The
defendant is an agent for A. R. Cox, a brewer and
bottler of beer, ale and porter, at Norristown,
Montgomery county. The agent travels into Chester
county, takes orders and delivers from a wagon. He
was arrested on the charge of a violation of the liquor
laws of the Commonwealth. The question in the
trial was raised whether Mr. Cox having a license in
Montgomery county can come into Chester county, obtain
orders for liquors and afterwards deliver the same
without violation of the law. This point was
reserved for argument. The court charged that the
sale was made at the time the order was taken and the
jury should render a verdict of guilty, which was done
without the jury leaving their seats. The case
will be argued at adjourned court in December.
Wanger and Darlington & Cornwell for Commonwealth.
Moneghan for defence.
