(b) It shall not be lawful for any person, whether licensed to sell
spirituous fermented or intoxicating liquor or not, to sell, give
directly or indirectly, dispose of, barter, furnish, hand over or de-
liver, within the corporate limits of the City of Annapolis, or within
five miles thereof, any spirituous, fermented or intoxicating liquors,
wines or cordials of any kind, or in any quantity whatever, to any
youth, or minor under the age of twenty-one years, either for his or
her own use or for the use of any other person, either with or without
the written order or consent of the parent or guardian of such minor;
nor to any midshipman or student connected with or attached to the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, or under orders to join or leave the
said Academy, or preparing for admission to said Academy, either
for his own use or for the use of any other person; and any person
violating the provisions of this subsection shall be deemed guilty

not less than twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars,
or be imprisoned in jail for not less than ten days, nor more than
sixty days, or be both fined and imprisoned in the discretion of the
court; but if any minor shall wilfully represent that he is of full
age and thereby shall obtain any spirituous liquors, and the person
selling the same shall be able to prove at his or her trial such mis-
representation, and that he or she used due caution in ascertaining
the age of such minor before disposing of the liquor as aforesaid
to said minor and that in the exercise of reasonable caution he was
deceived by the use of documentary evidence and that for such reason
he was unable to ascertain that the minor was in fact a minor, then
the person so selling to such minor, shall be acquitted of the said
charge, the minor obtaining spirituous liquor by such misrepre-
sentation of his or her age shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
trial and conviction before any justice of the peace shall be sentenced
to pay a fine of not less than ten dollars, nor more than twenty
dollars and the costs of his prosecution, or upon failure to pay such
fine and costs of his prosecution shall be committed to jail for a period
