The girl felt suddenly faint with a
longing TO let her fingers cling to his,
to let him love and protect and care
for her. But instead, she sat up very
straight and rigid Now she must
face the ordeal she had so often post

faced loss and privation!

ALL COUNTY
RECORDS ARE
FOR PUBLIC
DECISION HANDED down BY
THE STATE SUPREME COURT
MATTER CARRIED UP FROM PIN
ELIAS COUNTY ON REFUSAL OF
ClRciT COURT CLERK TO SHOW
RECORDS.

OF interest throughout the state is
a decision just handed down by the
supreme court at Tallahassee to the
effect that all records in the office
of a clerk of the circuit court are pub
lie. No trouble has arisen here, as
Clerk of the Circuit court Samuel d.
Jordan is always courteous to the
public. But sometimes he has been
rcriticized unjustly for the publication
of the matters of record which were
gathered as news and published as
news and which he could not legally
withhold. The following dispatch ex-
plains the ruling Of the state highest
court.
Decision has been handed down
from the supreme court reversing the
decision of Judge Robes in the case
of John Harris of st. Petersburg
against Clerk of the Circuit Court
Weicking of Pinellas county, in which
/ Judge Robes held that the clerk OF
/ the circuit court was not obligated
to permit the public to inspect deeds
and other papers under conditions
which the clerk claimed prevailed
This decision of the supreme court
is far reaching, as it puts an END
to the proposition that the clerk Of
any circuit court has a right to with
hold matters of record from the pub
lie.
The facts on which, the case was
brought are alleged to have beer
that John Harris, in the abstract bu'
mess at st. Petersburg, has a man a
Clearwater who collects information
from the clerk'a office on the filing
of deeds. Weicking, acting under ad
vice of his attorney, refused to le
the man inspect the deeds after the,
were filed until after they had beer
recorded. The man was permitted t
see the records but not the deeds.
The contention of Harris was tina
from the moment of filing, deed be-
came a public record, and the gen
eral public had a right to inspect thu
deed Immediately, under REASONABLE
protection and regulation by tn
clerk.
The case was heard by Judge Ro
bles about 60 days ago on demur
rer to petition for mandamus, tn
mandamus being asked by Harris t
compel Weicking to permit him t
ksee the Deeds The matter was ia
ken to the supreme court after Judg
Robes ruled against Harris, and tn
supreme court reversed the decisio
of the circuit court.
