Oregon Supreme Court June 24, 1891 (McLeod v. Scott)

lead-opinion

Steahan, C. J.

The first question which requires our attention is, the proper construction of the statute in relation to the granting of license to sell spirituous, malt or vinous liquors in this state in less quantities than one gallon. The statute in force, when the application for license was made by the plaintiff, was the act of February 18,1889.
