Hickory, No written opinion was banded
down, Judge Hinckley stating tbat tbe
licenses were not refused on tbe ground
of a lack of necessity, but rather because
of evidence of violations of tbe law which
tbeoourl could not Ignore. Tbe testi
mony at tbe bearings related to the sale
of liquor to minors and to others in the
prohibited class. The Judge added that
a refusal at this time would not prejudice
tbe rights of the same applicants at a fu
ture license court.
All liceuses expire on June first next,
so that alter that date tbe county will be
four-hflhs "dry."
