The evidence now being taken is for an appeal. The defense knows very well that each one of the defendants will be fined, as the magistrate could not do otherwise, without admitting the by- Jaw ultra vires. The strongest point which-the de- fense has brought out, is the fact that no where in the liquor license bylaw is the word “‘brewers” mentioned.

There are thoza who contend that a voter to quelify mast have lived a year in the city and have »wned property # year, or paid licenses a year. This is wrong. While the statute says plainly, a per- son must bave been a resident a year Prior to election, there iz nothing to in- dicate that he must have held property that long.
