Weri.nz_ the respon.dent, for a rule nisi to compel the
Pet4weento cause why the petition against the
return of the sitting member should not be dismissed on
the ground of informal delivery. Mr. Mclntyre contended
that • day more than the usual twenty-one days had
els_pased before the petition was 111wL
Their lordships not Mr. hirint,.c engaged in a lengthy
discussion as to whether the writ declaring the return of
the tuember had not al./ been received by the Clerk of the
Crown a day later than the n-spondent contended it had.
A circumstance which, if admitted, would place the filing
of the petition within the twenty-one days.
Mr. Mclntyre sought to prove that the delivery a the
writ toils woman at the Clerk of the Crown's tmi,e
late at eight., for which delivery she gave is receipt con-
stituted delivety to tns Ulork himself, soil which delivery,
If dcilaredkgal, would result In the petition being filed a
day too late.
Their lordships thought the question of what consti.
itutes the delivery of the election returns should be
carefully discussed. and accordingly granted the apPliee•
lion for a rule.
