Supreme Court of New Hampshire.

Decided November 24, 1959.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Orr & Reno, Eugene C. Struckhoff and William B. Norris (of Ohio), (Mr. Struckhoff and Mr. Norris orally), for the plaintiff.

Leonard G. Velishka and Devine, Millimet & McDonough (Mr. J. Murray Devine orally), for West End Beverage Company, Inc. as amicus curiae.


KENISON, C. J.

I. At the threshold of this case is a problem of statutory construction in the field of liquor control legislation. 3 Sutherland, Statutory Construction (3d ed.) s. 7203. The question appears to be one of first impression since counsel have not cited any case directly in point and research has not disclosed one. Cf. California Bev. &c. Co. v. Distillers Distrib. Corp., 158 Cal.App.2d 758
