Syllabus

<p>1. Intoxicating Liquors—Revocation of License—Grounds.</p> <p>Where a person, granted a license to sell intoxicating liquors, subsequently-pleaded guilty of assault, and was fined $100 and costs, and later was convicted of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, the license will be revoked, as the authority granting an occupational license may revoke it for good and sufficient cause, and the law providing that a person of full age and good moral character may be licensed to sell intoxicating liquor, empowers the court to revoke a license when satisfied that since its issuance the licensee has committed acts showing that he is not a man of good moral character.</p> <p>2. Intoxicating Liquors—Grant of License—Discretion.</p> <p>The law confers upon the court a large discretion in the granting of liquor licenses.</p>
