I tliinkAit was illegal, and- ithat 'the proceeding resulting in the election,of Mr. Bagnall was bad on that ground; and therefore I have only to declare that Mr., Bagnall was elected unduly and contrary to the Highways Act,. 187,4, ,and y I adjudge him to be'ousted from his oipce as, a member of the Kauaeranga Highway v Board and the office of Chairman of" t% % said Board, .and! further order the, pay- ;» nient by the defendant to the plaintiff of ' the costs of this proceeding. ;.,The.case being disposed of on the second of tte two grounds, I need make no reference to the first. ! .The costs amounted to £7; Bs.'? !
