P It IT AMENTARY ELECTIONS

(.I:TiI.ES AND BOROUGHS

1176 earnestly Urge our friend :•, who have, 'or oturilt
to have, votes, to attend to the following. Another
election will take place before a second registration
is made, and it is therefore the duty of all Reformers
to loge no time in securing their -right to vote. The To-
ries have no chance'if we do our duty :
HOW TO .OBTAIN THE . ELECTIVE 7 FRAN-
CHISE, AND HOW TO AVOID DISFRAN-
CHISEMENT. •

By the English Reform Act, the right to be registered
as a voter in the Election of Members to serve in Parlia-
ment for Cities and Boroughs, is given to every male
person of full age, and not subject to any legal incapa-
city, who shall occupy as owner or tenant any house,
warehouse, counting- house, shop or other building of the
clear yearly value of 101., but the occupation must be for
a year ending on the 31st of July, and such person must
be rated. or have claimed to be rated to all rates (if any)
made for the relief of the poor during that period, and
have paid by the 20th of July, his poor's-rate and win-
dow-tax payable previously to the 6th of April, and have
resided (slept) within seven miles, for six months, Joint
occupiers are entitled if the yearly value give 101. for
each occupier.
Persons, although lodgers, who use a part of their
premises (even an attic, kitchertoor cellar) as a shop,
workshop, warehouse, store room, or cauntmg-house, if
worth four shillings a week, or 101. a year, are entitled
to vote. Any lodger who pays this amount of rent has
also the right, if his landlord do not sleep on the pre-
mises, or if the lodger have a separate entrance, or the
control of an outer door, or occupy a separate building.
It is only necessary in all these cases that the lodgers
should require an overseer to put their names on the
poor's-rate book (either separately or in conjunction with
the landlord) and any payment afterwards made by them
may be deducted from the rent, as the landlord will, in
consequence of such claim to be rated, cease to be called
upon for rates or will pay proportionally less. Where a.
man rents a house and the parish officers have rated the
landlord, the tenant if occupying will be entitled to
vote after he has claimed to be rated or has got his own
name put on the poor's-rate. It is not necessary to be
rated at 10/., if the premises be worth that sum annually,
Every tenant, although a lodger, who is liable to a yearly
rent of 50/. is entitled to a vote for the County, if the
premises occupied by him do not confer.a. vote fel- a
City or Borough, and in this case it is not necessary to
be rated.
MEMORA.NDA. •
The 6th day of April.—To avoid the disfranchisement
of Ele -tors in Cities and Boroughs, all the Poor's-rate
and Window-tax (if any) payable from them in respect
of their premises, previously to the 6th day of April,
must be paid on or before the 20th of July. The
Window-tax is payable by Act of Parliament,- whether
demanded or not. The Poor's-rate is not payable till
demanded ; so that it is not necessary, in order to be
registered, fur the 101. voter, entitled under the Reform
Act, to pay any Pcor's-rate, if it were not demanded
previously to the 6th of April, either personally of the
voter, or by note in writing left on the premises by the
Collector. No man should, however, omit to pay his
Poor's-rate because it has not been demanded, as the
Collectors may think they have called when they have
not done so, and for fear of ultimate neglect, the Poor's-
rate and Window-tax should be paid immediately. In
some parishes there is a Local Act, whereby the Poor's-
rate is payable before a demand has been made.
The 20th day of July.—Parliamentary Electors in
Cities and Boroughs entitled under the Reform Act, will
lose their votes for the next year, unless they pay on or
before the 20th of July all the Toor's-rates (and Win-
dow-tai, if any) payable from them in respect of their
premises, previously to the 6th of April. The payment
of no other rate or tax is required for the exercise of
this franchise.
County voters must send in their claims on or before
the 20th of July.
The 31st of July.—Scot and lot voters will be dis-
franchised, unless they pay on or before the 31st of July,
all the Poor's-rates payable from them previously to that
day. They need not, for the purpose of registration, pay
the Window-tax, or any other rate or tax than the
Poor's-rates.
Beginning of August.—The Lists of Voters are made
out on or before the 31st of July, and may be seen gratis
at the Overseers' houses fourteen days afterwards, and on
the Church and Chapel doors on the two next Sundays,
and may be purchased at a reasonable price. Persons
improperly omitted or inserted, must claim or be objected
to, on or before the 25th of August. Overseers can ob-
ject to county voters, by inserting the words " objected
to," without giving notice to the party, and may omit
the names of any persons from the Lists for Cities and
Boroughs also, without giving notice, so that it behoves
all voters annually to inspect the Lists, and to observe :if
the particulars be correctly described.
In case an Elector has removed since the last regis-
tration, but continues to occupy premises in the same
City or Borough, he is still entitled to the franchise,
under the 28th section of the Reform Act, which enables
persons occupying different premises in succession to be
registered. In this case, to secure the vote, the party
must claim to be registered in the parish to which he
has removed, if the Overseers of that parish have not
already inserted his name.
All persons omitted by reason of the non-payment of
Poor's-rates, should claim to be registered, as the Col-
lector may not perhaps prove that he demanded the
payment before the 6th of April, and as there are many
rates not legally made.
The non-payment of the shilling annually charged in
some parishes, in respect of the registration, does not
disfranchise, whether demanded or not.
In London the Lists of the Liverymen are exhibited
at the Guildhall, and the Royal Exchange. Liverymen
improperly omitted, should deliver claims to the Clerk
of their Company, and at the Secondaries' office. If
no residence appear in the Company's List, the name
will be erased. If a wrong address be given, the Bar-
rister, if required, will correct it.
The 25th day of August.—This is the last day for
sending in claims and objections in Cities and Boroughs,
and for objecting to County voter.%
Beginning of September.—The Lists of objections to
voters in Cities, Boroughs, and Counties, and of the
claims of persons omitted from the Lists of Voters in
Cities and Boroughs may, ten days before the 15th of
September, be seen gratis at the Overseers' houses, and,
on two Sundays preceding the • 15th of September,
on all Church and Chapel Doors, and may be purchased
for ls. In Cities and Boroughs, the Lists of Objections
should be inspected, as no notice is given to the party
objected to, and all claimants not entitled to vote should
be opposed before the Revising Barristers.
From the 15th of September to the 25th of October.—
The Revising Barristers now hold their Courts. All Per-
sons interested therein should not fail to attend. Public
notice on the church or chapel doors, and in the news-
papers, is given of the time of holding the several
Courts. The claims and objections of persons who do
not attend will be disallowed, and and persons objected
to will have their names expunged if they be absent.
Mistakes may be corrected.
The Ist day of November.—The new registers of
voters throughout the country take effect. Copies are
sold by the returning officers, at a reasonable price.
Should an election take place between this day and the
Ist of November, next year, those persons only can vote
who have been inserted in such registers ; but persons
may tender their votes if the Revising Barrister decided
against them. -
