Opinion by
Orlady, J.,
Appellants presented their petition for a bottler’s license, under the act of June 9, 1891, to which a remonstrance was filed, and the following decree made: “ And now, April 4, 1896, on motion of petitioner and after hearing in open court, it is ordered that the prayer of the petitioner be refused.”
The single specification of error is, “ the court erred in refusing the license of George W. Kerns & Brother to sell liquor at wholesale as bottlers.” We are asked to reverse the decree of the court below, and award a writ of mandamus requiring the judges to grant this license.
