When counting closed at midnight only the Adelaide returns were complete. Three Labourites were returned. Mrs Good, the only woman candidate, received 1515 votes against 6854 scored by Mr Gunn, Labour leader. Though it is impossible to give a definite Verdict yet it looks on incomplete figures as if the Barwell’s Liberal Party will get a setback.
