Description
This action for a declaratory judgment
is brought by the plaintiff, a newspaper
publisher, against the defendant, the state's
attorney for Hartford County. It has been reserved
to this court on an agreed statement of facts. The
plaintiff, a Connecticut corporation located in
New Britain, is engaged in publishing a daily
newspaper, "The New Britain Herald," for
circulation in New Britain and the adjoining
towns. The L & L Super Food Stores is a
corporation selling food products at wholesale and
retail in two stores operated by it in New Britain.
It will be referred to hereinafter as the corporation.
From time to time the corporation purchases space
in the plaintiff's newspaper to advertise its
[142 Conn. 55]
products. It submitted certain advertising
copy1 to the plaintiff for publication and
advised the plaintiff that it desired to have the
advertisement published in connection with the
seventeenth anniversary of its doing business in
New Britain and that it proposed to submit similar
advertisements for publication in the future,
particularly during the celebration of its
business anniversaries. The plaintiff is ready and
willing to accept and publish the advertising copy
but has refrained from doing so because it has
been advised that publication might involve the
risk of criminal prosecution. The question upon
which the advice of this court is sought is whether
the acceptance and publication of this and similar
advertising would constitute a violation of 8667,
8668, 8669 and 8670 of the General Statutes, relating
to lotteries, and 8876, relating to conspiracy.
