Syllabus

<p>Liquor laws — Peition for license for hotel — Averments of petition — Necessity—Refusal of license.</p> <p>It is reversible error for the Court of Quarter Sessions to refuse a retail liquor license merely because the petitioner in his application averred “that the place to he licensed is necessary for the accommodation of the public, and is suitable as well as necessary for the entertainment of strangers and travelers; that he has for their exclusive use at least twelve bed rooms and fourteen beds, and ample stabling accommodation for horses and vehicles,” and his certifiers testify that they signed the petition because of the need of. a hotel for the < traveling public, and that they would not have signed it if it hád'been merely an application to sell liquor.</p>
