The question presented upon this applica tion is as to th e constitutionality of th a t portion of subdivision 9 of Sec tio n 8 of the Liquor Tax Law, vvhicdi provides as follow : “ In the case of a hotel o th e r t h a n ■ ^ - fififer contalHifig less th a n fifty such ‘cdroom s in cities of the first class, otlce shall be in w riting and e.x- acknowledged by the cer- a perspn to whom such certificate m ay have .'been tran s f e rr e di i -collateral security for i -or any other obligation incurred; and lion is largely in tificate fo r seven ] 1750) inhabitants ( .such noi ecuted and acknowlei tificate holder and the owner ( of the certificated prem ises an o r assigned as m o n eys loaned in all other cases suqh notice shall be n w riting and execi ‘ ' idged by the certifi iiis duly authorized seated and acknowl- :ate holder or by attorney, and by rtifleate any pers m a y nave been t as collateral security for m oneys loaned or any other obligation in- •curred.” The relato r’s property was used for liq u o r purposes and was duly licensed p rio r to 1896; and h e r claim is th a t th e rig h t to use the prem ises for t h a t ; p u rpose is a property rig h t which at- I tach e s to h e r prem ises and can not be tak e n aw ay from h e r w ithout due process of law, and th a t th e provision 1 -of the law above quoted w h ich gives * the tenant, w ithout the consent of or y n o tice to the o-wner, the power to ; Abandon the prem ises for liquor pur- I p oses, is unconstitutional.
