People v. 27 Barrels of Wine

206 A.D. 651

Opinion

Judgment and order reversed upon the facts and the law and property ordered returned to claimant for the following reasons: The search warrant was void because the petition on which it was granted was insufficient to show violation of the statute. * (Matter of Liquors Seized at Auto Inn, Plattsburgh, 204 App. Div. 185; Daily Record, March 8,1923 †). The jurisdictional procedure following seizure without a warrant as provided in section 802-b, subdivision 6, of the Code of Criminal Procedure,‡ as construed in People v. Diamond (233 N. Y. 130), was not followed in respect to the officer’s return and in respect to the notice to show cause. All concur; Davis, J., not sitting.
