Brewery License Revoked.

A technical violation of a license held by the Stegmaier Brewing Company, of Wilkesbarre, has led to a revocation of that company's license in Bradford county. The company has been in the habit of shipping quantities of beer to Sayre in barrels or bottles for various customers in that town consigned to a driver, W. W. Vaughn.

These were not, however, marked in the brewery for these customers but were distributed by Vaughn according to instructions received by him. The orders were taken in March, 1901, and were for a fixed definite amount weekly but the point was that the customers were not compelled to take this amount and the orders were considered a matter of form.

This in the view of Judge Fanning constituted a technical violation of the license laws of the commonwealth and he accordingly revoked the wholesale license already granted. The complaint was made by a bottler in Sayre whose business he considered was being interfered with. The case is to be appealed.
