Supreme Court of Connecticut January 15, 1882 (Batters v. Dunning)

Loomis, J.

The controlling question in this case is, whether under the act of 1881, (Session Laws, 1881, chap. 61,) the county commissioners have a discretion to grant or deny a license to sell intoxicating liquors, to an applicant who comes with the recommendation of the selectmen of his town and tenders a satisfactory bond.
