The court dismissed the state's claim to confiscate the defendant's coat, ruling that the value of the illegally sold liquor was insufficient to justify seizing the jacket. The defendant sold a coat for a bottle of illicit alcohol, and the state sought to recover the coat's value against the proceeds. The court determined that confiscation was not warranted because the illicit gain did not exceed the value of the seized property.
