ent, lawful contract may be enforced, though made at the same time;1 while yet, if the lawful and unlawful are so blended as to constitute one indivisible contract, all will be void. Some nice questions arise where the transaction is partly in a state wherein it is lawful, and partly in one where it is unlawful; but a mere reference to some of the authorities will suffice under this head. When the contract has become fully executed on both sides, neither money paid on it nor the liquors can be recovered back. After a sale on credit has been made, the repeal of the forbidding statute will not so operate retrospectively as to enable the vendor to recover the price. Now,

§ 1031. Special provisions.- Some of the statutes have special provisions confirming or modifying the common-law doctrines thus laid down. They are not uniform in our states. The reader may consult the cases cited in the note; of which some are only illustrative, having proceeded on enactments which did not contain the express provisions.8

§ 1031a. Civil-damage laws. In some of the states there are statutes, in varying terms, giving to wives and others injured by the purchasers of intoxicating drinks in consequence of their using them, or deprived thereby of their services or support, a civil suit against the sellers for the damages. It is not within the scope of this work to discuss these statutes, but a reference to some of the cases may be serviceable.'

I. THE INDICTMENT.

§ 1033a. In general of indictment.-The statutes, the modifications of the offense created by them, and the views special to the tribunal, relating to this subject, so differ in our several states, and in the same state at different times, that the providing of forms for general use becomes too complicated to be profitably carried far. Often indictments very loosely drawn perhaps inadequately, as tested by the rules of pleading which control other cases- have been sustained for this offense. Yet there is no just reason why specially loose allegations should be permitted. The subject has no intrinsic difficulties; nor, if the very strictest rules were enforced, would the indictment, under any of these statutes, require to be long. Still, by the practice as we find it,—

Adherence to canons of pleading and statutes. The pleader, in these cases, while not held to the strictest rules, is compelled to follow the statutes in substance, and conform in substance to the canons of good pleading. For example,
