Article, or any of his employees, shall sell or furnish any
alcoholic beverages at any time to a minor under twenty-
one years of age, either for his own use or for the use of
any other person, or to any person who, at the time of such
sale, or delivery, is visibly under the influence of any alco-
holic beverage. Any person violating any of the provisions
of this sub-section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall suffer the penalties provided
by Section 188 of this Article; provided, however, that any
person charged with selling or furnishing any alcoholic
beverages to a minor under twenty-one years of age shall
not be found guilty of a violation of this sub-section, if such
person establishes^ to the satisfaction of the jury or the
court sitting as a jury, that he used due caution to establish
that such minor under twenty-one years of age was not,
in fact, a minor under twenty-one years of age. If any
person shall be found not guilty, or placed on probation
without a verdict, of any alleged violation of this sub-sec-
tion, such finding shall operate as a complete bar to any
proceeding by any alcoholic beverage law enforcement or
licensing authorities on account of such alleged violation,
provided that the person inducing the sale in question shall
have been found guilty by a Court or Trial Magistrate
under one of the sections of Article 27 of the Annotated
Code of Maryland numbered 484 to 487, both inclusive.
