Eureka Club v. Commonwealth
Supreme Court of Virginia
Error to a judgment of the Corporation Court of the city of Roanoke, on a motion to revoke a license to the defendant-judgment for the Commonwealth. Defendant assigns error.
1Opinion of the CourtHarrison, J.
The plaintiff in error is a corporation chartered under the laws of Virginia as a social club, with its home and place of meeting in the city of Roanoke. The foundation of this proceeding is a complaint, in the nature of a petition, filed by the Commonwealth’s attorney for Roanoke city, asking the Corporation Court of that city to revoke and declare void the charter of the Eureka Club for the reason that it was not being conducted as a bona fide social club, but for the purpose of violating and evading the laws of this State regulating and licensing the sale of liquors.
