Article 6 of chapter 36 of the General Statutes of 1901 constitutes the officers and members of the state senate as a tribunal to hear and finally determine a contest of the eleetipn of any person declared elected a judge of a district court in the state, and is valid.</p> <p>2. --- Conclusiveness of Decision. When a contestant invokes the jurisdiction of such tribunal and the contest is begun therein, but is finally dismissed-on the order of the tribunal for the failure of the contestant to state the grounds of contest as required by its previous order, the order of dismissal is analogous to the sustaining of a general demurrer to a petition in court, and is a final determination of the contest on its merits.</p>
