♦ A CONDITION OP LICENSE SET ASIDE. |_By Telkobaph.] i united press association. | Cheistchubch, This Dat. At the Snpreme Court yesterday, Richard J. Whittel, Waiau, hotelkeeper, sought an order prohibiting: the Ashley Licensing Committee from enforcing a condition to the renewal of the license of the Waian Hotel compelling the plaintiff to transfer the license to some other person within three months. Plaintiff, in his affidavit, said be had had no notice of any objection to hie application, and had boen afforded no opportunity of reply. Mr. Jubtice Denniston said Beotion 79 of the Act of 1881 enabled the Licensing Committee to vary the conditione under which accommodation licenses might be granted, but he thought it could not be read as authorising a committee to inflict a penalty on the Jioensee or impose conditione inconsistent with the' general provisions of the A ct. Plaintiff was entitled to a hearing, and it was no answer to say that the committee, without a hearing, had inflicted a mitigated penalty. An order prohibiting the committee from enforcing the condition was granted.
