Rockingham County Prohibition Records: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.

Mot ion to quas h warra nt of arrest is s ued by R. T.
Mil le r , May or of Grotto es agains t H. p . Snapp .
1.
Th is warran t say s , "Whereas eviden ce has t h is
day ma d e co mpm.ain t and in:form at ion on oath b ef or e , R. T . Miller ,
Mayor of s aid to wn , that H. P . Snapp on the 9th day of Sept .
19 22 i n sa i d town , did transp ort moo n shine in ~iolat i on of an
ordinance of s ai d town , " &c .
It i s su bmit t e d th at t he r e mu st be s ome pe r so n ma k i ng

Of cou r se i t is not co ntende d tha t t he :May or
could n ot h ave is sued the warra nt at hi s own instanc e but t h e
war:ran t do e s n ot so say .
It is s ubmitte d that t he effect of t his war rant i s
no one "has this day ma d e compla int" &c . therefo r e there is
no compla inat upon which the wa rran t c a n be predic ated .
It i s furt her submit ted that th e words , "transp ort
moons h ine " d oe s not set out an offense a gainst t ha 1 aws· of
t h is Commonwealth .
The Prohib ition Law , Se c . 3 , says ,
11
It
shall b e. unlawf ul f o r any person in this St a te t o manufa ct u re ,
tra nspo r t , s el l , k eep or store for sa le , off er out or expos e
for s a le , gi ve a way or d i s p en se or solici t i n any way , or rece i ve orde r s f or or aid i n procur i n g a rdent s p irits as hereinafter prov i de d.."
It is submit ted tha t "T r anspo rt moonsh ine" d oes not
come unde r any of those nume rous offense s .
2.
On the back o·f t h e wa rrant is t his judgme nt ,
" Sept . 11 , 1922 the defend ant is found
guilty as c harged and adjudge•d to pay a fine of $1 00 .00 for the
b enefit
of t he town and the costs noted on this wa r rant . n S igned
��--2--
R. T. Miller, Mayor.
(luarere?
Of what is the defendant found guilty?
It will be noted th at he is not found guilty as charged in th e
warrant but simply found guilty as charged.
We submit that
this is not sufficien t.
In conclusio n we would say that while we understan d
that a warrant is informal , and that the strict rules which
apply to an indictmen t do not prevail to the effect of the
construct ion of a warrant, yet a warrant is a pleading upon
which the accused is deprived of his property or his liberty
or both and there are certa in fundame ntal rules which must
be observed.
( a) There must be a proper complaint . ( b) It must
cha rge an offense against the law of t he land .
It is submitted that the warrant in question shows
neither that it is made upon a proper complaint nor that he
charges an offense punishabl e under the law.
Respectfu lly submitted ,

Rockingham County Prohibition Records: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.

An account of the resource
The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.
