All Licenses Refused by Warren County Court Opinion
The court refuses all liquor licenses in Warren County, denouncing the license system as unamerican and endorsing public sentiment against licensing. It cites 1867 and 1887 acts, notes petitions and remonstrances as evidence, and states licenses are not necessary for public accommodation or travel. The decision emphasizes public concern over private interest and predicts further action if intemperance rises.
