<p>Intoxicating Liquors — License—Rea’ocation — Refunding Fee. Under Bal. Code, § 2935, providing that a liquor license shall be forfeited, in addition to other penalties provided by laiv, in case the licensee sells liquors to minors, a town council may, without repayment of any portion of the unearned fee, revoke a license upon conviction of the licensee of selling liquor to minors.</p> <p>Same — Forfeiture — Criminal Law — Excessive Penalty. The forfeiture of a $750 liquor license, in addition to a fine and liability upon a bond, is not unconstitutional as excessive penalty for selling intoxicating liquors to a minor.</p> <p>Same — License—Constitutional Laav- — Due Process. A license to sell intoxicating liquors is merely a temporary permit, and the forfeiture thereof for violation of law is not a deprivation of property without due process of law.</p>
