! A case of objection to the application Of
| VIM. l.. Crawford, of Franklin district, for
license to sell liquor was heard on Monday
| by Judge Roberts in the Circuit Court. The
| objection was filed on the ground that Craw
1 ford had leased the premises owned by him
/ to Frank Englar in May last, who had taken
/ a license as an ordinary keeper and to sell
| liquor as such on the premises, and that a
second license could not be issued to another
/ person to sell liquor at the same place during
! the existence of the first license. In other
words, that the liquor license law Of Carroll
county does not permit two persons to sell
liquor at one place during the same period OF
time. The judge took this view of the case
and refused to order the clerk to grant the
| license to Crawford.
