20 Pa. Super. 98 | Pa. Super. Ct. | 1902
The proceedings in this case in the court below are not to be commended for formality. Greater attention should be given to that. We think, however, that the order of which the appellant complains may fairly be interpreted as a definite refusal of the license. If it is not, it is not a final order, and no appeal lies. The presumption from the record is, that the petitioner was accorded a full hearing, that the court gave due consideration to the evidence and had due regard to the number and character of the petitioners for and against the application, and that the judge who concluded that the license should not be granted was influenced by a legal reason. As to the presumptions on appeal in such proceedings, we refer to several decisions of this court reported in Quinn’s License, 11 Pa. Superior
All the assignments of error are overruled and the order is affirmed.
