these dealers show Ibat their places are GER

.fsUrTABLE AND coNyES1EHT.'
I concur with the late Judge ID the opi1-
ion that many OF these places should not
have been licensed. This Court will SOON
be called upon to renew these licenses, and
unless the subsequent returns show
marked imProyem id the business done
by the returns now In The tposSession Of the
Court twill not hesitate t1Ee1use to renew
the license. This course will be but Just TO the
public, aud surely &c can do no Injury tothe
applicant, because, IL the returns are cor

There is but one other matter embraced
in this act that deem it necessary now to q
refer you to, and that Is this: By the first
section Of the act it is provided that "a
license to sell by wholesale shall include
only the privilege to sell in quantities or 1ye
gallons or more; license to sell by whole
sale and retail shall include only the prlyi-
lege to sell in quantities OF one gallon or
more; q license to sell by retail shall include
only the privilege Of selling in quantities
not exceeding five gallons at any time to
any individual, which shall not be drunk
within the house or curtilege where sold,
but shall be delivered to The purchaser in
bottles, jugs, demiiobns, or other vessels.
to be removed therefrom. A license to sell
to be drunk at the place where sold shall be 9
known as q bar-room license, under which
no wine, ardent spirits, malt liquors, nor !.
any mixture thereof, shall be sold to be
taken away from the place Of delivery,
BUT SHALL BE DRUNK THERE.
Any person desiring to carry on the
business OF n retail liquor-merchant
shall obtain separate license for each
and comply with the provisions Of this act
in relation TO both privileges. Any person
violating the provisions of this section
shall be deemed guilty OF q misdemeanor,
and shall be fined not less than twenty dol
lars nor more than five hundred dollars.
and be imprisoned not less than one month
nor more than twelve months.
1t may be that some persons who have
only obtained licenses as bar-room liquor
dealers are exercising the privileges also OF Z
selling liquor to be carried away from their
places and drank without having obtained
a separate license to do so as retail liquor
merchant. II there are any such they have

its penalties. I ask your special attention
to this inquiry.
