Opinion of the Court

Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

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 “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.
