    Complaint for unlawfully keeping and exposing for sale intoxicating liquors, with intent unlawfully to sell the same in this Commonwealth, at Woburn.
    At the trial in the Superior Court, on appeal, before Mason, J., the government introduced evidence tending to show that certain premises situated at the junction of Main Street and Lake Avenue, in Woburn, comprising a building known as the Jefferson House, and a barn a short distance from such house, belonged to the defendant; that a large quantity of intoxicating liquors was found in the barn, in which a bottling-room was located; that a tag with the name of the defendant thereon was attached to a barrel of whiskey which was among the liquors so found; and that the defendant was present in the barn when the intoxicating liquors were found there.
    The government then offered evidence tending to prove that intoxicating liquors were also found in the Jefferson House, to which evidence the defendant objected, but the judge admitted it.
    The jury returned a verdict of guilty; and the defendant alleged exceptions.
    
      M. T. Allen, for the defendant.
