of the 34th November, having bees omitted from the espy
of the register famished by the Clerk of the Peace to the
overseen, and orineequestly the names of those parties bed
not bees published on the church door.
It appeared by the Registration Act of the 6th Viotoeis
e. 18, e. 67, whenever any decision of any revising banister
shall be reversed or altered, so as to require any alteration
or esenettes of the register of voters, notice should be
forthwith given by one of the waters of the court to the
sheriff, who shall alter or correct the register accordingly,
which has bees dose ; but the sat makes no provision

Mr. Corner said the point same upon him by surprise. Re

others had done. In fact be believed many of them did

suns not having appeared in the published list
no
opponseity had been afforded to object to them. lf the
Revisieg Banister should now insert these seventeen names
he might insert twathirds of them without any qualification,
or any claim or application by themselves. AU these parties
had had the same notice of the omission of their names as
any one else, via., the copy of the register on the church
door, sad it was their duty to come here and object to each
oinieidon in the proper masses • bet it appeared most sin-
gular, that et seesaws pewee:said to ham bees improperly

application to the alert of the peace to correct what was
certainly no error of his or of the overseers, that their mums
were proposed to be besotted without say notice to the public,
or any opportunity of objecting. Mr. Gomez sebalitted to the
Residua Barrister that if these same eosid be sossidered es

the fault of the overseers or the clerk of the peace,the parties

clerk of the peace, or the overseers, but he should consider

to be, having been oceideatally omitted from the register,
