Burnett, 0 minal plaintiff in the dispensary a occedings, had gone before Assoitc Justice Ciary for an order stay- _N ; the execution of Judge Townid's order closing the dispen- A rios. J. C. Wallace, Esq., for ei 8 plaintiff, and J. A. Sawyer, ' q., for defendants. The follow- n 5 is the order: u OUDKH. y1 State of South Carolina. ) ^ In the Supreme Court. } C. Burnett, Plaintiff, against J. Betenbaugh, ct al, Defendants This is an application fo an order , ying proceedings in the Circuit " urt pending appeal to the Suune Court under rule 21, which * iividesthat either of the Justices ?.1 ly make orders in any cause ^ tiding in this court, to state pro- n.' tilings, which when served with j papers on which it was made, ill stay the proceedings according the terms of the order. v' His Honor Judge Townsend made ^ order that the dispensaries in ^ lion county he forthwith closed 11 the ground that they were reircd hy law to lie closed as the a: ult of the election upon that ^ estion as declared by the proper h thorities. ^ If the order of Judge Townsend a< s the only authority by which y i dispensaries were closed, then J1 order staying proceedings under w i order would have the effect of P ihling them to remain open. s* it his order was simply intended 11 carry into effect the result of the ction which declared that the ^ pcnsarics should lie closed. The rule herein before mentioned a s intended to preserve the status Vl o pending an appeal. At the i\c when the return was tiled in is court the dispensaries were " >sed as tho result of the election. This was the status quo when dgc Townsend filed his order. An order staying his order would vc no practical effect unless it ould be construed as authorizing 2 dispensaries to l>e kept open d this would change the status o. I am unwilling to grant an ti Icr which could only have the ect of enabling the dispensaries be kept open in seeming violan of law. Of course this order not intended in any manner to cjudiee the merits of the appeal. It is therefore ordered that the plication be refused. Euokne B. GARY, 11 Associate Justice.
