OF q hotly contested but unsuccessful
effort to obtain an order of the Shaw

asylum changes his legal status in
the courts. Under the law, when q
person is no longer confined in an
insane asylum, he must begin such an
action in the probate court OF the
county from which he. was sent into

ginning new action In the Douglas
