The question in dispute 10 who has been
Elected; you have no power to deride
that new election is ordered BY reason
OF his resignation, and all you can do is to
cav whom you will elect. Whereas If
Mr.. wadlelI had held on to the cerlif-
Gale given him by The Sheriff. might
then have disputed his election and show
ell that he was claiming a seat. which
majority Of the electors had conferred on
me. The error might then have been
corrected. g t.
