number of the members of such firm or less than the whole
number of the directors, trustees or managers of such corpora-
tion have been charged or have been arrested, but such
as are charged and have been arrested may be tried, and
those who have not been charged, or those who being
charged, have not been arrested, upon being charged and
arrested, may be tried. In trials in the Circuit Court, where
the cases have been removed to said court, for a jury trial, or
in trials on appeals from justices of the peace, instead of pro-
ceeding to trial on the warrant issued by the justice of the
peace, the State's Attorney may in every case, before the trial
begins, prepare and file in the same, an information or charge
in the nature of an indictment, and the case shall be tried
thereunder, and if any person or persons shall be charged as a
member or members of any firm, or as the director or direc-
tors, trustee or trustees, manager or managers of any corpora-
tion, and shall deny that he or they are the members of said
firm, or that they are the director's, trustees or managers of
such corporation ; they shall be required to sustain such denial
by evidence, and the absence of such denial shall relieve the
State from proving that such person or persons are members of
the alleged firm, or directors, trustees or managers of the
alleged corporation; provided that nothing herein contained
shall be construed to prevent the sale of peach brandy, apple
brandy or wines manufactured in said county from fruit grown
or produced therein, in quantities not less than one gallon, if
the same be sold by the producer or grower of the fruit on
the premises where such fruit is grown or produced; and
provided further, that nothing herein contained shall prevent
the sale of cider made from apples, as now by law allowed.
Approved, April 9, 1898.
