n1 el-hreVet R. Miller of Morris,

°rased and made their award to that
effect, but owing to an error made by
the inspector in the awards sent to the
clerks of Morris and Hallett the ninth
instead of the tenth concession of Mor-
ris was made a part of the new section.
The inspector on finding out that the
parts.of the award sent out were not
correct as the one he had retained was,
and which was the one read over to
his co -arbitrators, at once had cor-
rected copies made and sent to the re-
spective clerks, but in the meantime
certain Morris ratepayers had appealed
to the county council against the
award. The county council on hearing
all parties refused to accept the report
of the education committee and ap-
pointed a new arbitration, consisting
of Judge Masson, Wm. Clegg of Wing.

A •petition was sent • in to • the

ation of a new school section, but the
Council took no action upon it. It
was then • appealed to the County
Council, but the Coanty Council •took
no action upon it. Was not the
County. Council obliged to pointarbitratore••
Ans.--Bee, 11 of the •Public Schools
Act says," The Municipal Council of
every township (except where Town-
ship Board has been established), shall
sub -divide the township into school

" A. majority of the trustees, or

ice filed in the office of the ceunty

sec.'3 of the same section says the

, to form., divide, unite, or alter the
the boundaries of a school section,. so
far as to settle the naatters cemplaitied-
of." The sub -sec, mentioned says
The County Council 'may' appoint ar-
bitrators.." Therefore, it would seem
that the County Council is not obliged
to comply with the request of "the pe-

whieh would indicate any further
right of appeal. The •refusal of the
County Council to entertain the appeal
would seem to be

tion to set Aside a will must contend
either than the . will is invalid, and
that there is an intestacy, or that some
