vioIators of the Iiouor Law.

Francis Miller, esq, Assistant District At
torney, has transmitted to tho District Com
missioners an opinion in relation to the prose-
eution of persons who violate the liquor license
law between the time of applying for a license
and receiving it. He states that when the
cases come before Judge Smell they must take
their usual course, and If the operation Of the
law should in any case be oppressive, the Com
missioners can give relief by pardon. The
Judge will therefore unless specially requested
by the Commissioners, hereafter decline to post
pone cases to await the application of the party
for the issuing Of q license. When party has
been convicted in the Police Court and ap-
pcaied to the Criminal Court, If any license be
granted to him thereafter, it must date from the
day the application is made, or better, from
the date of the filing of the information in the
Police Court. In reference to the production
of a license at the appeal trial covering the
time in the information, lie says that the rule
requiring fines imposed in the Police Court to
be paid before the issue of q new license is a
n very good one and 1t will do much to secure
promptness in the payment of fines.
