Carriers Bound to Ship Liquors Under West Virginia Law
A Baltimore district court ruling upholds that common carriers must transport liquors into West Virginia for personal use even if orders were solicited by mail from outside the state. The decision limits the Yost law's scope, noting carriers are not required to police orders but must act in good faith to prevent shipments used contrary to state law. The Western Maryland Railway and American Express Company refused shipments following the injunction and the decision.
