Note 7 — AMENDMENT 18

United States v. Chambers, 291 U.S. 217, 222-226 (1934). See also Ellerbee v. Aderhold, 5 F. Supp. 1022 (1934); United States ex rel. Randall v. United States Marshal for Eastern Dist. of New York, 143 F. (2d) 830 (1944).—The Twenty-first Amendment containing "no saving clause as to prosecutions for offenses theretofore committed," these holdings were rendered unavoidable by virtue of the well-established principle that after "the expiration or repeal of a law, no penalty can be enforced, nor punishment inflicted, for violations of the law committed while it was in force * * *"—Yeaton v. United States, 5 Cr. 281, 283 (1809), quoted in United States v. Chambers at pages 223-224.
