retailer keeps a disorderly house, or suffers any liquor by him sold or
bartered, mixed or unmixed, to be drunk in or about his house, the cir-
cuit court for the county, or the criminal court of Baltimore, if the
offense is committed in said city, may, on application or remonstrance,
withdraw the license of such person to retail spirituous or fermented
liquors and shall exercise a sound discretion relative thereto; and during
the recess of said courts, the orphans' courts, at their several sessions,
shall and may exercise a similar power, authority and discretion.

indictment, but by the circuit courts of the counties and the criminal court
of Baltimore city on application or remonstrance, the licenses being liable to
be withdrawn. The above procedure is entirely different from that pre-
scribed by the act of 1780, ch. 24. Downs v. State, 19 Md. 575.
