IN REvoKING WHOLESALE LIQUOR LICENSES
WHEN BEER IS DRANK On THE PREMISES.
In the Police Court this morning, Judge Smell
rendered a decision in the case of Christian
Maisak, charged with keeping an unlicensed
bar, sustaining the action of the Commissioners
In annulling wholesale licenses for violating the
bond given at the time of issuing the license.
Maisak keeps what Is known as ''stovepipe"
house at the corner OF 5th street and Massachu-
the business he obtained a wholesale license for
which he paid the sum of S25, at the same time
entering into bonds in 5000 not to sell liquor
To be drank upon the premises which fact, how
ever, Is not mentioned on the face of the license
When the case was argued several days ago,
the defendants counsel claimed that the Com
missioners had no authority to annul the
license because the dealer sold beer by the
giving them such authority had been repealed
by subsequent laws. Mr.. Padgett representing
the District argued that the law had not been
repealed, and that the Commissioners had such
authority The court held that the law under
Gnicn the license was granted, and subse-
been repealed by subsequent laws. A fine of
S25 was imposed, from which an appeal was
noted.
