nuisance pending appeal, nor till after
affirmance of judgment, and if final
judgment be in favor of defendant the
time which has elapsed between date
of perfecting appeal, and that of receiv-
ing and filing the mandate of the SUI
preme court shall be added to the term
for which license was granted, if the Ii
but Mr.. Henry extracted nearly all the
fangs from it by the following amend
ment which was also adopted
But if such licensee shall sell or give
away any Intoxicating liquors pending
appeal, he shall be liable to punishment
as though without license, and in event
the county, district, city, town or vii
lage shall declare or petition against
the sale, there shall be no extension of
license, and his dram shop abated as
nuisance, but he shall have refunded the
