W. F. LAKE WINS Probate Clerk Permit Case
A writ of mandamus in favor of druggist W F Lake compelled County Clerk Newman to issue permit blanks for sale of medical toots. The probate judge Hayden had granted the permit but the police and district court contested the ruling, arguing the judge exceeded authority. The case traces legislative history from 1881 to 1955, examining the probate judge powers to grant or revoke druggist permits and the lack of direct appeal, concluding that the judge’s authority is limited and contentious.
