Syllabus

<p>Liquor law — License—Description of property — Amendment.</p> <p>The Superior Court will not review the discretion of the court of quarter sessions in making an order refusing a liquor license on the ground stated in the order that the property was insufficiently described ; and this is particularly the ease where the petition for the license do-scribed the property as situated at the corner of two streets, without stating the specific corner; nor in such a case will the appellate court review the action of the lower court in refusing a request to amend the petition, so as to set forth a sufficient description of the property.</p> <p>The request to amend a petition for liquor license is an admission of carelessness, and the granting of it by the court is not a matter of course or right, but strictly one of grace. A petition should be legally complete in all the statutory details when it is filed in court, the cases being exceptional where an amendment is justified.</p>
