THE LICENSE Law.
THE ACTION OF TIE SUSSEX COUNTY
81 COUNTY COZ RI -RUMoRS AND
- . sdtpfNIONS

Under the provisions Of the new license Law,
passed at the Iasl session of the Delaware Legsla
IuTe those desiring to secure licenses for the sale
OF quoE must present their applications duly
Signed (atter having been previously published,
IN open Court, aud the Court shall pass Judgment
- 70 whether all the requirements OF the new Law
have been compile with In Sussex County 1t
seems as il the hdtot dealers must either have
been woainily lgporant Of the provisions of the
law. or else puTpOsely disTegArdcd them. Out of
all the applications prcssntedto the Court, only
one was Rranted, that OF q hotel proprietor in
SsaIOrd. The other applications failed to comply
with the law, in various particulars and were
therefore refused
Al lhe opening OF the Court, in relation to this
Law, Judge GLpln decided that q free-hOlder,
whose properly was located outside Of the Ward
or District wherein he resided, could Slgn appca-
tlons only for dealers residing in the same Ward
or District with him. That ls, every signcr to a
license snnpt BE- reSideNt of the Ward or Dis
triet in which the applicant desires TO locate his
hotel or saloon, This requirement has been mis-
cohstiIed IA several plAeaa, and dealers have OBJ
tahed sig gAatntesfrom men who Opned property
in their Wards or Districts, but who resided else
wAcEq 81 such apphcatiOps will probably be re-
fused by the Court. "A -
Various rumors arc current, as TO what will be
the result Of the new Law, IN regard to the num-
ber OF licensed drinking places in the State.
Some aver that the present number will begreatly
diminished. and that not dozen lieenses will be
gmnted ia tAh whole State. II is even reported
that Judge Glptn had stated his intention of re-
fukng all applications from liquor dealers which
contained tho signatures of other liquor dealers.
THIS rumoT, however is highly improbable, as the
Court has no power 20 set aside the law, and the
Law only requires the sieners 70 be trec-hOlders
aud residents Of the Ward or District for which
they sign, BE- tlt s..
The Temperance folks are briskly at work, max.
ing arrangements to protest. at the Court, against
! oil improperly signed applications, and to secure
| the rejection of such. They appear sanguine ol
| great success. Petitions will also be sent into
Court, from Temperance Societies Of this city
praying the honorable body 10 most carefully and
critically examine each application presented, and
carry out all the provisions Of the Law, 10 the let
