INFORMALITY IN THE REGISTERS OP voTtris.—An,
immense number of voters on the register for the West
Riding of Yorkshire have this year had their names ob-
jected to on a point of form., Three or four years ago
objections were taken on a large scale by the Conserva-
tive party in Lancashire to the entry in the second
column of the register of voters, beaded " Place of
Ahode." At the next revisien for the Westßiding-of'
York the Liberal party broughtthiS question' befiere the
revising barristers, who held an opposite opinion. These
eonflieting decielens rendered it imperative that the opinion
of the superior eoeurt should. be taken 'Ow the point,
and, with the concurrence of both the leading political
parties, a case was framed for the Purpose at the Revis-
ing Barristers' Court at Bradford this year. Thecae
Was heard and duly argued in the ceurt of appeal, and
the Lord Chief justice delivered a,decision, in which
Justices Williams, Crowder, and Willes concurred, to
the effect that the description of a voter's place of abode,
without the name of the township in which he resides,
in the column of the register headed "Place of abode,"
•is insufficient. This decision has rendered it necessary
to reclaim in all cases of insufficient description' of resi-
dence, and,hence the numerous objections. which appear
on the present lists' for. the Wert Rislieg. Of course,
new cwas have been dent in on behalf of all the persons
, objected: to on this tech; icel ground. .
