REGISTRATION ACT.

Whereas by an Act passed in the Gth and 7th years of
the reign of his present Majesty, intituled an " Act for
Registering Births, Deaths, and Marriages in England," it
is enacted, that the guardians of every union, parish, or
place mentioned in the said Act shall appoint a person, with
such qaalifications as the registrar-general, also mentioned in
the said Act, may by any general rule declare to be neces-
sary, to be registrar of births and deaths within each district,
and in every case of vacancy in the office of registrar shall
forthwith fill up the vacancy ; and that the clerk to the
guardians of every such union, parish, or place, shall if he
shall think fit to accept the office, and have such qualifica-
tions as the registrar-general may by any general rule declare
to be necessary, be the superintendent registrar thereof ;
and in the event of his refusal or disqualification to act in
that capacity the guardians shall appoint a person, with
such qualifications as the registrar general may by any ge-
neral rule declare to be necessary, to be the superintendent
registrar of such union, or of such parish or place, and in
every case of vacancy of the office of superintendent re-
gistrar shall forthwith fill up the vacancy.
Therefore, in pursuance of the provisions of the said
Act, and by virtue of the several powers and authorities
vested in me as Registrar General, I do hereby declare
the following general rule as necessary to be observed,
touching the qualifications of all and every person who shall
be appointed, under the provisions of the said Act, to be
registrar of births and deaths within any such district as
aforesaid ; that is to say—Every such person shall be an
inhabitant householder within the district for which he shall
be appointed such Registrar, and shall not be a member of
any Board of Guardians by whom he shall be appointed
Registrar, unless upon a representation to be made in writ-
ing and signed by two-thirds of the remaining members of
such Board, it shall be made to appear to my satisfaction,
to be signified under my hand, that there is no other per-
son resident within the district capable and willing to under-
take the said office of Registrar ; and shall not have been
appointed to or hold the office of Registrar for any other
district, or jointly with any other person, or the office of
Superintendent-registrar of any union, parish, or place ;
and shall not be an uncertificated bankrupt, nor have ap-
plied for or obtained within twelve calendar months before
he shall be appointed Registrar, the benefit of any Act or
Acts of Parliament for the relief of insolvent debtors.
And I do further, as such registrar general as aforesaid,
and by virtue and in pursuance of the powers and authori-
ties vested in me as aforesaid, make and hereby declare the
following general rule as necessary to be observed touch-
ing the qualifications of all and every person who shall ac-
cept or be appointed under the provisions of the said Act to
the office of superintendent registrar, that is to say—every
such person shall reside within the union, place, or parish
for which he shall become as aforesaid superintendent re-
gistrar ; and shall not be appointed to or hold the office
of superintendent registrar for any other union, parish, or
place, or jointly with any other person, or the office of re-
gistrar of any district ; and shall not be an uneertifieated
bankrupt, or have applied for, or obtained, within twelve
calendar months before his appointment to, or acceptance
of, the office of superintendent registrar the benefit of any
Act or Acts of Parliament for the relief of Insolvent
Debtors.

And I do hereby reserve to myself, as registrar general
as aforesaid, the power of vacating, altering, or Yaryinf, the
before-mentioned rules, or any part thereof, and of substi-
tuting any others in place thereof as it may hereafter ap-
pear to be necessary.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this
10th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1836.

eneral Registrar Offioe, Oct. 8.
Sir—l request you to call the attention of the Guardians
to the 9th section of the Act of the 6th and 7th of Wm.
I V., cap. 86, "for registering births, deaths, and marriages
in England," wherein it is enacted, " That the guardians
shall provide and uphold out of the moneys coming in their
hands or controul as such guardians, a register offico, ac-
cording to a plan, to be approved by the registra)k-general,
for securing the registers when deposited therein, as here-
inafter provided, and the care of the said office, and the
custody of the registers deposited therein, shall be given to
the superintendent registrar of the union, or parish, or place,
having a Board of Guardians aforesaid." .
Such being the provisions of thu aforesaid Act, it is
expedient that I should re best you to lay before the
guardians for their information, certain general principles
applicable to all register offices to be provided by them
under the aforesaid Act, an observance of which principles
will render it most probable that the plan hereafter to be
submitted by them tq we will be approved of.
It is nut viv intention to require that all the register
offices shall be provided in strict accordance with any ono
detailed 1114 m. Such a regulation would compel the guar-
dians of 41roost uvu'y ttoion to incur the expense, perhaps
unnecessarily, of erecting a budding for that purpose, and
would prevent them from availing themselves of such
building, or part of building, already erected, as might
(though not conforming with a prescribed plan) be per-
fectly applicable to the object required. The diversities
which exist in the amount of population in the different
unions (ranging from less than 3,000 to more than 80,000),
also render it expedient to adopt one uniform OAR kg ally,,
