182. Nothing in said two preceding sections shall be construed
to prevent the compounding or sale of any such liquors for medi-

fines to be paid to the informer, and the residue to the board of
public school commissioners of Anne Arundel county, for the use
of the public schools; and said violators shall be committed to
