PEOPLE v. LERNER

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Feb 25, 1946

Judgment of the Court of Special Sessions of the City of New York, Borough of Queens, convicting defendant of the crime of selling an alcoholic beverage to a minor under the age of eighteen years, unanimously affirmed. Under the Penal Law (ยงยง 484, 2500), agency of the minor is not a defense. No change in the law was intended by the Legislature in enacting section 65 Alco. Bev. Cont. of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law.
