ANNA W. SMITH, PLAINTIFF IN ERROR, v. JOSEPH CORBETT, DEFENDANT IN ERROR.
    On error to the Supreme Court.
    This case was argued at the February Term, 3896, before •Justices Depue, Van Syckel and Gummere. It was upon certiorari to review the action of the Court of Common Pleas of the county of Monmouth, in the matter of an application to keep an inn and tavern. It:was held, per curiam, that the Common Pleas had jurisdiction to grant The license, although 'the applicant was not at the time in occupancy of the house licensed. Barnegat Beach Association v. Busby, 15 Vroom 627; Amerman v. Hill, 23 Id. 328. On the application to vacate the license, the court below had the discretionary power to postpone the decision of the case to see whether the applicant was entitled to the possession of the house. There was no reversible error in that respect, and the writ of certiorari must be dismissed, with costs.
    For the plaintiff in error, Aaron E. Johnston.
    
    For the defendant in error, William H. Vredenburgh.
    
   Per Curiam.
