Syllabus

<p>Liquor laws — Res adjudicata — Revocation of license.</p> <p>The principle of res adjudicata cannot be set up against a rule to revoke a liquor license where it appears that the rule in the previous proceeding had been discharged by consent, and that the parties procuring the two rules had been different persons.</p> <p>The refusal of the Supreme Court to grant a mandamus to compel the court of quarter sessions to grant a rule to revoke a liquor license, is not an adjudication on the merits of the case, but is based on the ground that the remedy of the petitioner for the rule is by an appeal to the Superior Court.</p> <p>Where the petitioner's for a rule to revoke a liquor license show that the licensee sold liquors in three different buildings, one of which was not connected with the licensed premises, it is the duty of the court to grant the rule, and a refusal to do so is reversible error.</p>
