two pieces of music or any pieces of music, and ever since said 22nd day of February 1893, they have not used their rights under said license, nor do they intend to.
Your petitioner further states that on the 17th day of January 1893, your petitioner and his copartner were engaged in their Saloon business at 622 King Street in the City of Seattle, and when they sold out their Saloon business on the 22nd day of February 1893 they did not assign nor sell any of their rights under said music license No. 121 and they are now the sole owners and holders thereof.
