<p>[To be reported.]</p> <p>. Upon a writ of certiorari to the order of the Court of Quarter Sessions revoking a license to sell liquors, under § 7, act of May 13, 1887, P. L. 110, neither the testimony nor the opinion of the court below form any part of the record which may be considered.</p> <p>2. The agreement of counsel that the testimony may be omitted from the paper book, and that the finding of facts as contained in the opinion of the court below should be considered in lieu thereof by the Supreme Court, is nugatory.</p> <p>3. In such proceeding, the provision of the section is mandatory, and it will be presumed that the court below had sufficient evidence before it to show that the licensee had violated some law of the commonwealth in regard to the sale of liquor.</p> <p>4. On a proceeding to revoke a license to sell liquors under said section, • on the ground that the licensee sold liquors to minors, it is no sufficient excuse or justification that he sold to them in good faith, informed and believing that they were of full age.</p>
