She Was Told That an Operation Ws. Inevitable. How She Escaped it When a physician tells a woman suf- fering with ovarian or womb trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror t" her heart, ant) our hospitals are full of %%011c1 etnn ar for ovarian or womb operations. The cast of Bain vs. City of Mont- real reported in a Supreme Court re- ports, p. 25.2, which was not referred to by counsel nt the trial, is in my opinion conclusive against the plain• tiff's contention. In (bat case it 9assessment •n stet that 1 C was ti void. At any rate it is stated that the ratepayers might have been in a proper proceeding entitled to have had the assessment quashed; yet the plaintiff having paid the amount $2085.16 voluntarily she could not recoverb It week. Now, if in a case where the assess• Cnt 'a In 1 void or irregular, the g 1 mon• r 1r col, 1 bo not recovered back,su rc• Y ly in a else where there is a slight error, if error it is, in arriving at the amount charged against each ratepayer there can be no recovery buck of money paid under the cir- cumstances such as existed in this case, The case of Grantham vs. the City Toronto 3 U. C. It. p. 212,IAlso a case sin point and is cited with ap• proval in Bain vs. City of Montreal The language used there by the late Chief [ Jusl' aRobinsonJustice Ro uis certainly most unfavorable to the plainti[Ca contention in this case. The Municipal Act, sec. 665, sub• sec. 2 provides specifically that the case •3f a Municipality raising taw largo a sunt by providing that the excess shall bo refunded rateably to those by whom it was paid. But in this case it cannot be said too much was raised, because as a matter of fact from the figures adduced in ev• idence, barely enough was raised, so that this sub -section does not assist the plaintiff. The by-law• was finally passed in September 1903 and has not been quashed. On the above grounds I am com- pelled to find in favor of the defend- nts which i do, .and direct a .non- 11Lt %%lib costs.
