Syllabus

<p>Liquor law — Defective petition — Discretion of court.</p> <p>The omission to name the owner of the premises in a petition for a liquor license is a material defect, and the refusal of the court to permit an amendment is not reversible error unless a plain abuse of discretion is made to appear. Where the motion to amend was not supported by any affidavitor petition explanatory of the omission, the appellate courtis bound to presume that the discretion of the license court, in refusing the amendment, was properly exercised.</p>
