A decision was handed down this MORN
ing in TIN Appellate Court sustaining the
position taken by the License Commits
sioners rDf Central Falls. The point at
issue WIS the Peter Germain case. Rev.
l.. q. Horton, the representative of the
Citizeu,' League, appeared before the
Boardpf License Commissioners and OBJ
jected 10 Germsin being granted a license
for tko present lisense year The License
Boar6 refused the prayer OF Rev. Mr.. Hcr-
ton, and granted;t the license to German to
sell liquors at the Lincoln House. Central
Falls.
Rev. Mr.. Horton, in his argument before
the board, claimed that Germain's place
had been raided by the police department,
and had been convicted in the lower court,
consequently was not eligible, within the
meaning of the law, to have a license.
Lawyer Robinson, on behalf OF Germain,
raised the issne that the Lincoln Board
had no power to refuse license in as
much as Germain had taken an appeal to
the higher court for final decision in the
matter. Mr. Robinson, at the time, made
q very strong argument upon this point,
and was upheld by many leading lawyers
of the state
Rev. Mr.. Horton was not satisfied with
the ruling Of the License Board, and
brought proceedings in the Appellate Court
to test the legality of the rulings. About
two weeks ago the case was argued by
Lawyer Williams for Rev. Mr. Horton, and
by City Solicitor Bosworth for the License
Board.
The case was taken under consideration
by the Court, which this morning sus-
tanned the License Board in its rulings
held the FIRST of the year. Several other
cases of similar nature are pending at
the present time, and this discussion will
quash all further proceedings in regard to
them.
