Wigginton v. Markley
Synopsis
Records of Board of Supervisors — Mandamus. — The record of the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors is under the control of the Board, and mandamus will not lie to the Clerk to compel him to correct the records.
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 [412]no 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.
