The authorities are to grant licences on such terms and conditions and under such restrictions as he authority may by respective licences determine. Such terms must be reasonable and may be formulated generally subject to the right of each applicant to contend when applying for a license that they should not be imposed in his case.

It was held that the condition was unreasonable and invalid. R.v Burnley, 1916 (85) LJ KB 1565.
