Fercot v. City of Spokane
Washington Supreme Court
Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for Spokane county, Pendergast, J., entered December 22, 1914, upon the pleadings, dismissing an action to recover the unearned portion of a license fee upon revocation of a liquor license.
1Opinion of the CourtChadwick, J.
Appellant brought this action to recover a proportionate part of a saloon license, after a forfeiture by the city commission for misconduct in the use of his license and upon his plea of guilty to a charge that he had sold liquor on Sunday.
It is enough to say that this court has held that the forfeiture of a saloon license for misconduct is a matter so entirely within the discretion of the city authorities that the courts will not review their judgment.
