.ITY OF LONDON REGISTRA-
TION.—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. M'Christie resumed his sitting this morning, at
tan o'clock, to revise the list of voters.
Upon an objection being tendered by Mr. Brown, the
Conservative agent, to the name of James Franks, of
the Bakers' Company, a question arose as to whether
the duplicate of the notice which was delivered through
the post, objecting to the .voter's qualification, was a
Proper duplicate under the Act. Under the 100th
section it is required that the notice of objection and
the duplicate shall be directed to a postmaster,
'who shall compare them, and on being satisfied that they
are alike in their address and in their contents, shall
forward the one to its address by the post, and return
the other to the party bringing the same, duly stamped,
which shall be evidence of the notice having been de-
livered. In the present instance the duplicate contained
tio address on the outside, and it being alleged by Mr.
Smith, for the Liberals, that the notice delivered, in
order to be a valid one, ought to have been so addressed,
he contended that the duplicate could not be received,
10 compliance with the Act.
Raving heard the arguments, Mr. M'Christie reserved
his decision.
