Syllabus

<p>[To be reported.]</p> <p>1. When, by a remonstrance and an answer thereto an issue has been raised as to the moral character of an applicant for a bottler’s license, under the act of May 24, 1887, P. L. 194, the Court of Quarter Sessions may require the applicant’s personal attendance for examination as to this issue, and as to the facts stated in his petition, and may punish his refusal to appear by a denial of the application.</p> <p>2. When a petition for such license does not aver that the applicant is of good moral character and of temperate habits, it may well be dismissed upon that ground, although he has formally joined issue upon a remonstrance which denies his good character upon information, and at the hearing has offered witnesses to prove both moral character and temperate habits.</p>
