TIONS MAY nu 'num The indications from the conference held at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, last Fri. day inoryiuy, regarding the trial of the host of election petitions seem to be thab at least two•thirds of the 02 ou file will never come to trial. The proceedings took place in the Court of Appeal room, and the Judges present were Justice Os. ler of the Court of Appeal, Justice Rose and Justine Ferguson. .A. batch of four aoliaitors representing eaoh party waa also present, W. D. McPherson, Edmund Bristol, James Baird :and D. W. Saun• dere, for the Conservatives ; R. A. Grant, C. J. Holman, George Ross and H, E. Irwin, for the Liberals. In all, applications for the trial of only fifteen straight petitions and three arose petitions were put in, seven against Lib- erals, and eight against Conservatives, al. so three Dross petitions against defeated Liberal candidates. The plane of trial was fixed in each Daae for the convenience of the eolioitors, but the dates will be fix- ed by the Judges for their oonvenieoe, having regard also to soma extent to the convenience of counsel in each ease. The trials, it is understood, will not begin be- fore August, and will probably be con- cluded in that and the following mouth. The following is the list of constituencies and places of trial as filed ;- North Perth (Lib.), Stratford. East Lamhton (Lib.), Sarnia. Halton (Lib.), Melton. West York (Lib.), To:'onto. East Northumberland (Lib.), Colborne. South Perth (Lib,), Mitchell, Dufferia (cross), (Lib.), Orangeville. weab Elgin (cross), Lib.), St. Thomas. South Ontario (cross, (Lib.), 'Whitby. North waterloo (Con), Berlin. North Renfrew (Con.), Pembroke. Centre Simone (Con.), Barrie. North Hastings (Con.), Belleville. Dufferin (Con.), Orangeville. East Elgin (Oon.), St. Thomas. South Ontario (Oon.), Whitby. West Elgin (Con.), St. Thomas. While these are all that it has been positively indicated would be tried, the solicitors state that there will be others in constituencies where the petitions were filed so late that up to the present it has bean impossible to find whether there is sufficient evidence to justify the cases going to trial.
