Nearly the entire day was taken up with the
liquor license cases" The remonstrants were
represented by John c, Patterson and Chas. q,
Rumford, Esqs. |
The only objection raised against granting of |
licenses IN addition to the several objections |
previously raised and decided upon in the two |
lower counties was to the certificate of free /
holders recommending the license where said /
free holders were liquor dealers.
The Court decided that liquor dealers were
competent sgners, but their vocation affected /
the credibiity OF the certificate, and the granting
OF the license was entirely within the decision
OF the Court who would not grant such license
III case where the free holders recommending
II were largely liquor dealers, unless they were
otherwise satisfied of the propIiety Of 80 doing,
The not designating with particularly the
place for the sale of liquor is fatal and several
applications were refused on this ground.

licenses ons OF which had the signatures OF
1900 persons.
