JURISDICTION OF LICENSE COMMISSIONERS TO GRANT LIQUOR LICENSE; GEN. LAWS CAP. 102, § 2.
RESCRIPT.
The testimony shows that the petitioners are the owners and occupants of a greater part of the land situated within two hundred feet of the building for the sale in which of pure, spirituous, intoxicating and malt liquors, application for a license was made; and the record shows that a remonstrance signed by the petitioners was presented to the respondents, who are the Board of License Commissioners, before the granting of the license. They therefore had no jurisdiction to grant the license. General Laws, R.I. cap. 102, § 2.
An order may be entered to quash the proceeding.
