petition or hau II read to him.
The testimony was tnat the signer
held aud lOOked &C the paper long
enough TO know its contents and tnAt
Mr. raily's alto. .ney contended was
sufficient Tor the, applicant TO make

paper The court said that I'm case
wnere year after year a license rs
granted aud the application rs WITH
drawn on account OF a tccnnicallty
tue place after gouing q fractional
license does not lose It's character, as
an old place. In the present case
Parry Tavern had been licensed for
years until last fall wnen the appli-

place be without a license for a term

before the court as new place.

members OF the bar and the court over
