Woodruff v. Chapin
Supreme Court of Connecticut
Appeal by the defendant from a decision of the Hon. George W. Wheeler, a judge of the Superior Court, holding null and void a liquor license vote cast by the voters of the town of New Hartford at its annual town meeting in October, 1909.

The principal question raised upon this appeal is as to the sufficiency of the warning and notice of the annual town meeting, at which the vote in question was taken. It appears that a warning and notice were attempted to be given in compliance with the statute (§ 1795), but that the part of the statute requiring the publication of the warning in a newspaper was not complied with. The warning and notice were published in a newspaper four days before the meeting, instead of five, as required by the statute. The trial judge held that this was fatal to the license vote, and declared it void.
