This section, as it appears in the act of December 19, 1865, has the words "this act," instead of "the act to regulate and tax foreign corporations, approved October 21, 1864"; but the section in the text was enacted as a section of the act of October 21, 1864, amended; so the reading above, which is taken from the compilation of 1872, was considered correct in legal effect by the commissioners, and is given as such.

§ 1989. If any person or persons shall barter, sell, Laws of special or dispose of in any manner, any malt, vinous, or spirituous liquors, without having first obtained a license Selling liquor therefor, as provided by law, such person shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof be fined not less than two hundred and fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars.

The reference in this section to the act of October 22, 1864, is substituted for the words "this act," following the compilation of 1872. This and the next succeeding section are parts of that act.
