Opinion

Opinion by

Judge Hardin :

No valid objection is perceived to 'the constitutionality of the act of the legislature for determining the right to vend liquors in Catlettsburg by a vote of the people of the town, but if it be concluded that that vote should not alone have controlled the action of the county court, there does not appear to have been any abuse of the discretion of the court in refusing to> grant the appellant license to retail liquors.

Therefore the judgment is affirmed.
