Syllabus

<p>Liquor law — Petition—Omission of names of surety — Bond.</p> <p>Where a bond in proper form is attached to and filed with a petition for a liquor license which is regular in all respects, except that the space left for the names of the proposed sureties is not filled in, the defect is not substantial, and will not defeat the application.</p> <p>In such a case an amendment of the petition by inserting therein the names of the sureties, is not only unnecessary, but improper in view of the fact that it would introduce into the petition other facts than those stated therein when the jurat and certificate were made.</p> <p>Mestrezat and Potter, JJ., dissent.</p>
