Judge Parker then stated that the
Prosecutor had not called his attention
to any special matter. He had receiv-
ed a communication from the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, asking
the attention of the Court to place
in Mount Holly where liquor is sold
under government license, but is sold in
such a manner as to render the propri
etor liable to indictment. The COM
munication deprecated the license sys.
tenn and favored prohibition. This
clause. Judge Parker said, it was not
proper for the Court to discuss. While
we live under the present laws, the
Court has nothing to do but to admin
lister them. 1t should be careful in
granting license, and liquor dealers
should understand that they have spe-
cial privileges under these laws, and
should be careful not to abuse these
privileges. The Court has power to
take away from any one who breaks
law any license that is granted by he
Court-license granted by cities are
not within the power OF the Court to
govern except to punish offenders when
brought up. An opinion appears to
prevail that, through decision rem
dered by the Chief Justice, that the
selling of liquor, under government IL
cense and allowing it to be drunk on
the premises does not constitute dis
orderly house. His Honor said that
as he understood the decision, and he
should so hold until otherwise advised,
the selling of liquor under government
license and allowing it to be drunk ON
the premises is indictable under the
common law. He also told the Jury
that the mere fact of the ladies com.
munication mentioning place suppos-
ed to be violating the law, did not pre-
sent the matter in legal form. The COM
planners should be present with their
witnesses.
