SEE ALSO 56103, 56113 Thirty-seventh Legislature. Senate. No. 38. An Act for the suppression of drinking houses and tippling shops, 1858. Only
an agent of the state could sell intoxicating liquor. A manufacturer of liquor could only sell to an agent, but that did not apply to local wine and
cider. In May, each town was to purchase a year's supply of liquor and have an agent store and sell it for medicinal or manufacturing purposes only.
If someone sold liquor illegally, that person was liable for any damage caused by the consumer. People could turn in law breakers. There were
several sections on search and seizure and how to handle seized product and intoxicated people. No one could sell to minors, Indians, soldiers or drunks.
Towns were obliged to prosecute offenses. It is hard to imagine how this would work in practice. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title
originally held by the Library of Congress).
