■ The question whether a police cell can be a warehouse was debated in the Hamilton Supreme Court when thre’e men were charged with the theft of liquor from a police station. It was decided, in order to overcome a teclu nical legal difficulty, to amend the charge to read that the allegation was that the liquor was stolen from “a warehouse, to wit, a police cell.” Mr. Justice Blair, who presided, remarked that he supposed it would be argued later that a police cell was not a warehouse. He also supposed that the cell had often been used as a dwelling. Counsel for the accused agreed that it would be argued that the cell was not a warehouse.
