SentativeS of the State and the SalOOnx
keepers who have been resisting the
findings Of the September grand jury
ON the charge of selling under short
licenses" was approved by the Criminal
Court, yesterday, and the cases are. now
closed
AS result of the arrangement en-
tered into, NO matter how many in
dictments there were against an in
dividual, he settles by pleading guilty
as to two, on the short license" propo-
sition, and generally to one for Sunday
selling, although there are a few ex-
ceptions, pays his fine and costs, and
takes out full license for the remain
ing five months of the license year,
which costs $146 33. AS result, the in
dividual is about five dollars better off,
after doing this, than il ne had taken
out full license at the beginning of
the year, this license costing $780,
Everybody appears to be satisfied with
the result reached, but the saloonists
undoubtedly have the best of it, from
several points of view.
