officer, who shall post a copy thereof on the premises or at
or near the location of the place or thing searched where the

liquor and means used for the sale of the same, the Justice
of the Peace or Court shall order the same destroyed or dis-
posed of.

ing, storing, hiding, secreting or furnishing or handling any
intoxicating liquor, in any quantity intended or for the pur-
pose of sale or disposition otherwise contrary to this sub-title
or contrary to law; provided, nevertheless, if the Justice of
the Peace shall, after an examination of the party making
the oath or after taking such other proof as may be produced,
deem it proper to issue such warrant then the said Justice
of the Peace, may, in his discretion, issue the warrant as
hereinbefore provided, for the searching of such a residence.

affidavit for the warrant to search any place or thing where

thing with such officer and give information and assistance to
such officer in searching such place, house or thing for such in-
toxicating liquor.

or other process while the proceedings herein provided are
pending; and final judgment of conviction in such proceedings
shall be in all cases a bar to all suits for the recovery of
any liquor seized or the value of the same, or for damages
alleged to arise by reason of the seizing and detention thereof.
