Judge Costello Issues Judgment Of Considerable Interest Re- specting the Clinton Board of Education Case Judge Costello issued judgment on August 15th in respect of the Clinton Board of Education case which has been a topic of consider- able interest in that municipality for the past three months. It seems that objection has been made to memb. ens of the Clinton Board of Educa- tion taking advantage of their posi- tion to sell goods to the Board of which they were members in con- travention of the statutes which pro- hibit such transactions. The Comity Judge in his Reasons for Judgment says in part as follows:- Phis is one of those: vexatious actions which do not tend tow- ards harmony in a school section. but nevertheless are open to Parties under the statutory leg- islation, Neither can we quarrel with that legislation as it is evident that many abuses could creep into the practice where members of outwits or school boards are allowed to contract, as alleged in the action before us There should he an order therefore declaring vacant the seat of the said W. E. Perdue and the seat of A. T. Cooper as members of the said Board of Education of the Town of Clin- ton." The applicants were Mrs. Lillian MacKinnon and. Charles G. Middle- ton, member and chairman respect- ively of the Clinton Board of Educa- tion. Acting for them was Mr. H. G. Meir of Seaforth, and for the re- spondents Mr. Frank Donnelly of Goderich.
