Syllabus

<p>Liquor law — Appeals—Record—Evidence.</p> <p>An appeal from an order refusing a liquor license is a substitute for a certiorari, and takes up nothing but the record. The appellate court cannot consider the merits, but only whether the license court has proceeded according to law.</p> <p>• When a license has been refused after a hearing, the presumption on appeal is, that the refusal was for a legal reason, unless the contrary affirmatively appears.</p> <p>The license judge is not bound to set out the reasons for his action.</p>
