TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—l have just had my attention called to a para-
graph in your yesterday's edition, headed " important
to Electors," in which you state that to•day is " the latest
day for sending into the clerk of the peace in counties,
or the town clerks in cities or boroughs, claims to be
placed on the Parliamentary registry in cases where
names have been improperly omitted, and objections in
cases in which names appear on the register which
ought not to be there."

I beg to refer you to the Registration Act, 6th Via,
chap. 18, sec. 4, from which you will find that the 20th
ultimo was the last day for county voters to send in
their claims; and to sections 7 and 17, from which you
will find that Wednesday, the 25th inst., is the last day
for objections (by other than overseers) for both counties
and boroughs. Also, to section 15, from which you will
find that persons omitted from the borough lists must,
on or before Wednesday, the 25th inst., send a claim to
the overseers to be inserted in such lists.
Also to sections 37 and 38, from which you will find
that the revising barrister has power to insert in both
county and borough lists the names of claimants omitted
therefrom by the overseers, on proof being given by
such claimants of their claims having been duly made,
and of their qualifications.
You will perceive by the above remarks that the 25th
inst. is the date that should have been inserted in your
paragraph.
Apologising for the liberty I have taken in this corn.
munication, and trusting you will correct the mistake in
your next, I em, Sir, &0.,
Dudley, Aug. 4.
