it shall not be necessary to state the kind of liquor sold; nor to describe
the place where sold; nor to show the knowledge of the principal to con-
vict for the acts of an agent or servant; nor to state the name of any person
to whom liquor is sold, but it shall be sufficient to state that the act took

special tax stamp or receipt by the United States to any person as a whole-

the sale of intoxicating liquor by such person at such place, or at any place
of business of such person within such territory where such stamp or re-
ceipt is posted, and at the time charged in any suit or prosecution under
this Act; provided, such time is within the life of such stamp or receipt.

believe and does believe that such liquors are being manufactured, sold,
offered, kept or stored for sale or barter in any house, building or other
place named therein, contrary to the provisions of this Act, shall issue his
warrant requiring the persons suspected to be arrested, and the said home,
building or other place to be searched, and the parties found therein to be
arrested and brought before him as aforesaid, and in such warrant shall
require the officer to whom it is directed to seize and hold all liquors found
in such house or building, and also vessels, bar fixtures, screens, glasses,

sufficient securities, in the sum of not less than five hundred dollars
($500.00) to appear before the next term of the Circuit Court of Prince

such justice may deem proper, to appear before the Grand Jury at the
next term of said court and such justice shall require the accused to give
