Supreme Court Decides the ShlttHek
Cav Law.

Tn" Supreme Court Of Loui-
siana yesterday rendered an i'm
portant decision. affirming the
Judgment of the Criminal District
Court of this city in constituting
and interpreting the Shattuck-
GAY law enacted by the last leg
islature, and r gulating the licens-
ing Of the sale Of liquor in the
state.
The question at issue in the case
was a. to the application Of the
law to bar-rooms already in eX-
iSteuca before taking effect OF the
law, or whether places it was pro-
posed 10 open subsequently, were
alone en- braced in the intent and
meaning of the act.
Mr. Justica Monroe, as the organ
Of the Court, handed down its
decree. which was to the effect
that the law could not refer to
liquor saloons previously estab-
lished without eXerting a retro
active force which is contrary to
All good policy, and is forbidden
by the constitutional restrictions.
This settled the right of the long
esta bished Boston Club and the
Grunewald Hotel to continue the
business they had long quietly
and peaceably conducted without
securing a renewal of the privi-
leges they have for many years
PROFESSIONALLY possessed ard
exercised, and it quiets all SINH
