Syllabus

<p>Liquor license — Amendment of petition — Name of owner.</p> <p>Where a petition for a retail liquor license as filed states that the premises were “owned by Thomas A. Brown, the applicant who resides thereon,” an amendment may be allowed after the last day for the filing of the petition by stating the ownership as follows: “The premises to be licensed are owned by the Adam Scheidt Brewing Company, a corporation located at Norristown, Pennsylvania, legal owner with equitable ownership in Thomas A. Brown under agreement,” the agreement showing that the brewing company was virtually a mortgagee. In such a case it was not error either to allow the petition to stand as it was originally, or to allow the amendment.</p>
