This decision comes as the climax
in the political battle in North Hur-
on. When the voting took place,
Ming was pronounced elected. But
Spotton demanded a recount, and in
this' County Court Judge E. N. Lew-
is threw out 342 ballots which had
counterfoils attached and pronounc-
ed Spotton the winner. Then King
appealed this pronuncehnent.
Victory Assured:
King's victory in the appeal prae-
tiealiy means that he is the victor in
the balloting, and will be in the ranks
of the Progressives in the Federal
House.
Hon. N. W. Rowell, K.C., who,
with J. H. Spence, K.C., appeared
for Mr. King, said that the judgment
"directs the County Court Judge to
eount the three polls previously re-
jected, which gave Mr. King a ma -
jerky of approximately 150. With
these three polls counted, Mr. Xing
will have a clear majority in excess

into consideration, and directs the advertently is a wide enough term to
include ignorance of the law, care-
lessness and negligence or inatten

As a consequence it was the im-
perative duty of the Deputy Return-
ing Officer to remove the counterfoils
said Mr. Justice Wright, and also that
of the County Judge. He deemed it
e the duty, of Judge Lewis to count

"Holding these :views, I find tare

the part of the learned County Judge
to comply with sections of the Do-

the recounting of the votes, and the
consequent final addition," he said.
Defines Powers.
Before making his order, Mr. Jus-
tice Wright dealt with the conten-
tion that a Supreme Court Judge
could not review a.' decision of a
County Court Judie who had con-
ducted a recout. "This may be the
construction placed on this section
of the statute," he stated. "The lan-
guage of the statute is clear and ex-
plicit that, where the Judge holding
the recount omits, neglects or refuses
to comply with the provisions of the
act,relief may be had on such an
application as this. The law would

could not be proceeded with because
the return and: report of the election
had been made to the Chief Electoral
Officer as "not well founded." Mr.
Justice Wright held that it was the
duty of a Judge of the Supreme
Court to hear the application made
for Mr. King if within the time pre-
