The indictment charges a single sale of intoxicating liquor in apt terms, contra formam staluti, and further avers that at a particular term of court the defendant was convicted "of selling a quantity of intoxicating liquor.”
R. S., c. 27, § 33, prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquor. Section 34 as amended by § 2, act of 1885, c. 366, provides that whoever "sells any intoxicating liquor in violation of this chapter forfeits,” &c., "and on every subsequent conviction shall be punished by” fine and imprisonment.
The indictment charges a prior conviction of the same unlawful act charged in it; and is sufficient under R. S., c. 27, § 57. A record of conviction no more specific than this indictment was held sufficient in State v. Lashus, 79 Maine, 504.
Exceptions overruled.
