Syllabus

<p>1. Intoxicating liquors—when license is not broad enough to protect sale. Where an incorporated town has fixed the price of a license for a dram shop at $75 per year, and a druggist’s license at $40 per year, a license issued t.o one as a druggist, which expressly provides that the holder, his agent, etc., shall not be authorized to sell intoxicating liquors to be drank at the place where sold, or in any room or place of resort adjacent thereto, is not broad enough to protect him against an indictment for the sale of such liquors which are allowed to be drank on the premises where sold.</p> <p>2. License—when void. The payment of a less sum for a license than that required by law does not authorize it to be issued, and if issued contrary to law, it is a nullity.</p>
