not exceeding one year, or by both, at the discretion of the court; and shall also forfeit any license such person Giving liquors, etc., to minors. may have to sell spirituous or intoxicating liquors in less quantities than one gallon, or to keep such saloon, bar-room, or other place for the sale of such liquors; and in all prosecutions under this act, common fame shall be competent evidence in support of the prosecution.

This act, comprising only the section above, is entitled "An act to amend an act to amend section 14 of title 1 of chapter 28, General Laws of Oregon, being section 686, chapter 8, Criminal Code, published in 1874 by authority of the legislative assembly of the state of Oregon, as amended October 17, 1876." After the usual enacting clause the act proceeds: "That section 14 of title 1 of chapter 28, General Laws of Oregon, being section 686 of chapter 8 of Criminal Code as published in 1874 by authority of the legislative assembly, be amended so as to read as follows" (as in the text). There is no section 14 of title 1 of chapter 28 of the General Laws, published in 1874; and the entire chapter relates to matters wholly foreign to the subject of this act and to section 686 of Criminal Code. It will be observed, moreover, while the title declares the object of this act to be to amend an act of October 17, 1876, which was itself amendatory of the section as printed in the edition of General Laws of 1874, the body of this act purports to amend the original section, not the amendatory one. Still, I have assumed that designation of section 686 of the Criminal Code, which is upon the same subject-matter as this act, is the controlling element in the descriptive part of both title and body of this act, and that the title therefore sufficiently expresses the subject of the act; and on that hypothesis have inserted this section, as enacted in 1887, in lieu of section 686 of the Criminal Code as amended by the act of October 17, 1876. But as there may be ground to doubt the validity of this act, the section referred to, as amended by the act of 1876 (and which is still in force unless the act of 1887 is valid) is here given:

"That if any person shall sell, give, or cause to be sold or given, any intoxicating liquor to any minor in this state, without first obtaining the consent of one of such minor's parents or guardian, in writing, or if any keeper of any saloon, bar-room, or other vendor of spirituous or intoxicating liquors, within this state, shall harbor, permit, or suffer any minor to loiter or remain in or about such saloon, bar-room, or other place where such spirituous or intoxicating liquors are sold or kept for sale, or to engage in any game of cards, billiards, bagatelle, or other game in such saloon, bar-room, or place aforesaid, either for amusement or otherwise, such person shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months, or by both, at the discretion of the court, and shall also forfeit any license such person may have to sell spirituons or intoxicating liquors in quantities less than one quart, or to keep such saloon, bar-room, or other place for the sale of such liquor. justice's court shall have jurisdiction of the crime herein defined."
