In re Clink

Michigan Supreme Court

Decided July 12, 1898PublishedCited by 6 opinions

Application by Henry E. Chase, deputy attorney general, for the disbarment of Stephen H. Clink and Philip W. Niskern.

1Per 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 “are 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.
