Supreme Court of Georgia April 24, 1893 (Elliott v. State)

Simmons, Justice.

1. The statute in question,, in the body thereof, prohibited the sale, in the county of Wilcox, of “ intoxicating liquors of any kind or quality,” but the title embraced “ spirituous liquors ” only. (Acts 1877, p. 343.) For this reason it was held,, in the case of McDuffie v. The State, 87 Ga. 687, that the statute is inoperative .as to liquors not spirituous.
