MR. JUSTICE CASTLES
dissenting:
I concur in the opinion of Mr. Chief Justice Harrison, but I would go even further in rejecting the so-called facts as pleaded and found by the district court. I believe that matters connected with our own administrative duties are peculiarly within the court’s own knowledge. While technically the motion to dismiss because the appellant Hinman is not an “aggrieved party” within the meaning of the statutes may be well-taken, the State of Montana should have concerned itself through the office of the Attorney General in bringing this important matter properly before the Court. To the extent that the majority opinion seems to approve of the practice of private sales by our own Clerk’s office, of court opinions or anything else, I dissent.
