Houses licensed for the sale of wine may be closed by order of justices in cases of riot, &c.
|
30. It shall be lawful for any two justices acting for any county or place where any riot or tumult shall happen or be expected to take place to order or direct that every person licensed under the authority of this Act to sell wine by retail in any house within their respective jurisdiction, in or near the place where such riot or tumult shall happen or be expected to take place, shall close his house at any time which the said justices shall order or direct; and every such person who shall keep open his house at or after any hour at which such justices shall have so ordered or directed such house to be closed shall be taken and deemed to have not maintained good order and rule therein, and to be guilty of an offence against the tenour of the licence granted to him.
