Syllabus

<p>Liquor law — Appeal—Review—Discretion of court.</p> <p>An appeal from an order refusing a liquor license brings up nothing for review which would not have been brought up by certiorari prior to the Act of May 9, 1889, P. L. 158. It does not bring up the evidence nor the rulings of the court upon questions of evidence. There is no mode provided by law for bringing them upon the record. The discretionary power to grant or refuse liquor license applications is vested exclusively in the court of quarter sessions.</p> <p>The court of quarter sessions need not set forth in the order its reasons for refusing a liquor license; if it does not set them forth, it will be presumed that the license was refused for a legal reason and not arbitrarily.</p>
