Bundo v Walled Lake, 395 Mich. 679; 238 N.W.2d 154 (1976), Stafford's Restaurant of Bloomfield, Inc v West Bloomfield Twp Board, supra. See, Smock v Coots, supra, Hobday v O'Dowd, 94 R.I. 172; 179 A.2d 319 (1962). Plaintiff, Clancy Muldoon's, Inc., argues that the denial of its application, while other licensees are permitted to operate in the city, constitutes a denial of equal protection.
Ours is now the responsibility of passing on the legal sufficiency of the cause relied upon as the basis for action in this case. In discharging that responsibility we examined the record, not to determine whether the evidence was strong or weak, direct or circumstantial, or to pass on credibility, but only to ascertain whether the action being reviewed was so arbitrary or capricious as to constitute an abuse of discretion, whether there was any legal evidence to support it, and whether the licensing proceeding was otherwise affected by an error of law. Hobday v. O'Dowd, 94 R.I. 172, 176, 179 A.2d 319, 322 (1962); Board of License Commissioners v. O'Dowd, 94 R.I. 243, 248, 179 A.2d 579, 582 (1962). In this case, petitioner does not contend that it would have been an abuse of discretion to reject its application upon proper proof that it was convicted of violating the Sunday entertainment laws or that its president had been found guilty of suborning the perjury of the two minors who were served beer at "The Warehouse."
