A CLAIM TO BE RATED.

As the parish officers are not in the habit of dividing
premises into different tenemznts, it becomes necessary, in
order to obtain the right to be registered, for the occu-
piers of shops, workshops, warehouses, counting-houses,
and other lodgings or buildings, to give notice of the oc-
cupancy to the overseers, and to claim to be rated. No
particular form of claim to be rated is absolutely neces-
sary, for a mere verbal request of an overseer is suffi-
cient ; but the following form may be adopted :
CLAIM TO BE RATED.

To the overseers of the parish of I hereby give
you notice that I occupy a at No. in
street, in your parish, and I claim to be rated to the re-
lief of the poor in respect of such premises, in order
that I may be entitled to vote in the election of Members
of Parliament for the city of

N.B.—lnsert„ the name of the parish aad the nature of
the premises as house, warehouse, counting-house, shop,
workshop, stable, shed, or as the case may be, and the
name of the street, court, &c., and of the. city or bo-
rough ; put in the date, 'and sign the names of'the claim-
ant, and his place of residence at full length. Give this
claim to an overseer, and carefully preserve a correct
copy ; the party who serves the claim should immedi-
ately write on the copy to whom the claim was delivered,
and the day of the month. If any poor's-rate be due in
respect of the premises occupied by the claimant, tender
the amount. If omitted from the List of Voters on the
31st of July, claim to be registered on or before the 25th
of August.
By section 30 of the Reform Act, the Overseers are
required to put the name of the claimant upon the rate
for the time being, and the claimant is deemed to have
been rated from the period at which such rate was made.
By section 75, every Overseer or. other person wilfully
disobeying the Act, is liable to a penalty of 5001. The
claimant need not again demand to be rated, so lonsr as
he retains the same premises, but in case of removal a
new claim should be sent in immediately with a notice
thereon as follows :—" I have removed from a.

at No. in street, in the parish of -44 It
will be better for the claimant that his name be not in-
serted in the rate as then he can never be a defaulter.
A CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED.

Every man who believes that he is entitled to a Vote
should claim to be registered, and attend before the Re-
vising Barristers. If his claim be disallowed, and an
Election take place, he may then tender his Vote, and
the Returning Officer is bound to enter such tender in
the Poll Book. A Committee of the House of Commons
may afterwards decide that the Vote is goad, and add it
to the poll in favour of the Candidate for whom it was
tendered.

The following is the form of a
CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED.

TO the Overseers of the Parish of

name inserted in the List made by you of Persons en-
titled to Vote in the Election of Members for the City
