Wigginton v. Markley

California Supreme Court
Wigginton v. Markley, 52 Cal. 411 (Cal. 1877)

Wigginton v. Markley

Opinion of the Court

By the Court :

The writ is denied.

Mr. Justice Crockett, concurring specially, said:

I wish to state, for myself, that I concur in the order denying the application for the writ, on the ground that the Clerk has *412no authority to correct the record as it stands, for the reason that the records are under the control of the Board of Supervisors ; and if there is to he any correction of the record, or any change in any way, it must be under some proceeding had by the Board of Supervisors. Therefore, a writ of this kind, directed to the Clerk, would be unavailing.
