The Won Siege License.

The transfer of the Won Siege license
from the old Rachor place in South Wood
bury, to the new house built by Won Siege
just across the street, in the SECOND Ward,
has been thoroughly adjudicated during
the last two months. Two applications for
transfer were made to Judge Clymsr, one
in January and one in March last past,
and third was made to Judge Jessup as
soon as he assumed the Judgeship. The
evident purpose to inject personality into
this case has received q rude set back by
the decision of the new Judge fled last
Friday. After stating that "the transfer is
not right which the licensee" can demand,
and that the transfer stands on the same
footing as the granting of the original
license the Judge reviewed the record OF
the previous hearings and in concluding
said This Court is asked to take cog
nizance of this matter as if it had not been
already the subject of litigation and con-
sideration by the Court, and to make an
other order transferring this license, thus
ignoring the former orders of the Court,
which are matters Of records and stand as
the final adjudication of the matter, and
without anything to show that the ex-
isting orders of the Court are in any way
erroneous. The fact that this matter has
been decided by my predecessor instead of
myself is to my mind strong reason why
/. sitting here as the Court, should not
disturb the decision already deliberately,
and from anything that appears, properly
rendered, or the merits of the case, with
out the slightest legal justification for SO
doing.
''The matter having already been adjudi-
Gated after a full and fair hearing the
Court must assume that the discretion of
the Court in the person then presiding
Judge was exercised wisely and according
to law, and that the orders already entered
are and should be, under the circumstances,
the final termination of the matter, and l
herewith refuse to transfer the license"
