<p>Liquor law — Transfer of lapsed license — Aci of 1858.</p> <p>The court of quarter sessions is without jurisdiction to transfer a license, the petition for which had been allowed but the license subsequently revoked for nonpayment of fees. No party having been licensed to sell liquors at the house in question the court had no jurisdiction to transfer a license which had not issued, and which could not lawfully have been issued; nor can it grant a license to the successor of a party who never had a license for the term.</p>
