Syllabus

<p>Liquor laws — Liquor license — Transfer—Bights of owner.</p> <p>The granting of a liquor license to the occupant of premises owned by another, does not entitle the owner to demand as a pure legal right that the license be transferred to him upon the removal whether voluntary or by compulsion of the licensee from the premises. The application for transfer in such a case is addressed to the sound legal discretion of the court of quarter sessions; and if the latter court refuses the transfer on the ground that there was no longer any necessity for a retail liquor store at the place and there is nothing to show that the discretion of the court in reaching this conclusion had been abused, the appellate court will not reverse the order.</p>
