Superior Court Decision in the Longs
License Case.
Prothonotary D. R. Foreman last
Saturday received the papers in the
Long license case and for the infor-
mation of residents of Centre county
we herewith publish in full the opin-
ion and decision of Justice Head in
affirming the action of the lower court
and dismissing the appeal at the cost
of the appellant:
In the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.
Sitting in Philadelphia.
On the application of Charles E. Long
for retail Lijuor License.
Appeal of T. A. Auman et al,
strants.
No. 108 October
from the Court
Centre County.
Filed October 30, 1916.
HEAD, J.
At the regular time fixed by rule of
court for the hearing of license applica-
tions in Centre county. the application of
Clarence I3. Long was heard. The record
shows the hearing was continued on De-
cember 23rd and again on December 29th,
on cach of which dates testimony was pre-
sented. On January 1st, 1816, an order was
made for refusing the license. On Febru-
ary 18th following, the applicant present-
ed his petition for a re-hearing and recon-
sideration of the order. for the reasons set
forth in his petition. The court thereupon
granted a rule to show why the prayer of
the petition should not be allowed, return-
able to the first Monday of March. On that
day the appellants ‘filed an answer to the
rule. On March 24th the rule was made
absolute, and on March 30th a hearing was
had in open court and testimony taken, at
the conclusion of which the court made an
order approving the bond of the applicant
and granting the license. From that order
the remonstrants appealed.
In such cases our revisory jurisdiction
confines us to an examination of the rec-
ord, and the ascertzinment therefrom that
the subject matter was within the juris-
diction of the court and that the proceed-
ings were conducted according to law. We
need {not concern ourselves with the fact
that ‘the proceedings as detailed in the
record above quoted was begun by Judge
Remon-
Term. 1916.
Quarter
Appeal
of Sessions of
Orvis; and concluded by Judge Quigley.
Generally speaking, and under normal
conditions, the Court of Quarter Sessions
is, in: contemplation of the law a continu-
ous entity. The commission of one in-
cumbent of the office expires and he lays
down his robe of office. but in the same
instant it is assumed by his successor, and
the court exists as a continuous body.
But one other matter calls for a brief
discussion. The rules of the Court of
Quarter Sessions of Centre county provide
that public sessions of the court for the
trial of both civil #nd criminal cases shall
be held on the fourth Monday of February,
the third Monday of May, the fourth Mon-
day of September and the first Monday of
December, each to continue for a period of
two weeks. There are thus four terms of
court in each year, and the period of two
weeks in each term was assigned for the
trial of causes, and the attendance of
Grand and Petit jurors for the perform-
ance of their regular functions in such
trials. But the powers of the Court of
Quarter Sessions, the exercise of which re-
quired no assistance from juries, were not
in abeyance in the meantime.
All of such powers which could be prop-
erly exercised by the judge alone could be
performed at any time, unless otherwise
provided by law, and for the exercise of
such powers each term lasted until the
next one began. It is clear that the first
hearing on December 18th was had in the
December term of 1915, which term began
on the first Monday of December. In the
same term, the order refusing the license
was made, the petition for reconsideration
of the order ard a reopening of the case
was filed, and a rule to show canse grant-
ed, returnable to the first Monday of
March. By that rule the proceeding was
properly carried over from the December
term to the March term, and the whole
question was fairly before the court for
its consideration. In that same March term
the rule was made absolute, and the time
for a hearing fixed.’ The hearing was had
and the order or decree now appealed from
was made. It appears to us there is no
iocom for doubt that the court was acting
¢ntirely within its lawful powers, and it
cannot be successfully argued such time
had elapsed as made it legally impossible
tor a reconsideration of the earlier order.
The assignments of error are over-ruled
and the appeal dismissed at the cost of the
appellant.
