Legal ruling on whiskey sales and procurement in Virginia
Judge Harrison instructed juries that the place of sale is where the contract is made and goods delivered. If an agent procures whiskey for another, receives money, and delivery occurs in Winchester, it constitutes a sale in Winchester and violates the law. The Fletcher case 106 Va. 840 affirms this ruling.
