Indictment for retailing quashed. The State appeals. The question is upon the sufficiency of the indict*100ment. It is charged that the defendant, on, etc., at, etc., “ did then and there unlawfully sell intoxicating liquors to one, etc, to-wit: one quart of whisky, for the sum of fifteen •cents, the said 11th day of, etc., being Sunday, commonly called the Sabbath day.”
P. W. Harrison, Prosecuting Attorney, and T. J. Cason, for the State. H. M. Nourse, J. H. Brown, and James Park, for the appellee.The eighth section of the Act of 1859, is, that “A license, granted under the provisions of this act, shall not authorize .the person so licensed to sell or barter any intoxicating •liquors on Sunday, nor to a minor, nor to a person intoxicated.” As to the two last-named classes, there is afterward an express penalty fixed for offending; as to the former, there is not; but it has been decided, that the general penalty fbr selling less than a quart, without a license, (sec. 10,) ■attaches to such sales on Sunday. Thomasson v. The State, 15 Ind. 455. The prohibition, in the first section, is against selling less than a quart, without a license; in the eighth section, it is provided, that the license to retail shall not authorize the selling any quantity on Sunday, although licensed; but, as before stated, there is annexed no special penalty to that' section. This prosecution is for selling a quart of whisky. This indictment would be bad, if the selling had been charged to have been on Saturday; is it good, charging it to have been done on Sunday? We are of opinion that it is not. As before said, there is no penalty fbr a violation of that special- part of the statute providing fhat the license shall not confer authority to sell any liquor on Sunday. The license only gives the privilege of selling less than a quart, on any day, and not that, on Sunday. Other statutes regulate the proceedings for violations of that day.
Per Curiam.The judgment is affirmed.
