show that the defendant dealt in more 

 than twenty trees a year. The law 

 provides that any person, firm or cor- 

 poration that buys or sells in any 

 year more than twenty evergreen 

 trees less than seven inches in di- 

 ameter at the butt as cut, not grown 

 upon his own land, shall be deemed a 

 "dealer in evergreen trees" within the 

 meaning of the other provisions of the 

 law, which make it an offense, pun- 

 ishable by a fine of not more than 

 $300, to become such a dealer without 

 taking out a license; and the court 

 held that the burden was on the prose- 

 cution in this case to show that de- 

 fendant was a "dealer" in the sense 

 defined by the law. (State vs. Per- 

 kins, 92 Atlantic Reporter 1.) . S.
