In re Clink

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

While this proceeding has been held not to be strictly a criminal prosecution, still the punishment is severe and highly penal. The charges ought to be clearly sustained. To quote the language of this court in a similar proceeding, we β€œare not satisfied that the evidence gives such clear support to the charges as should be required in such cases.” In re Baluss, 28 Mich. 507.

An order will therefore be entered denying the application.
