REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

Abstract of a Bill for the more effectual Registration of Par-
liamentary Electors in England and Wales. Brought in by
Lord J. Russell and Sir J. Campbell.
This Act begins by repealing the following clauses of the
Reform Bill:
That Overseers shall give notice to all persons claiming to
vote to send in their claims, shall make out lists of claimants
and voters, and may object to those whose titles are suspected.
Any elector or claimant may object to a claimant by giving
notice thereof to the Overseers and that claimant, and the
name of that claimant is then to be added to the list of ob-
jected claims. The Overseers shall deliver the lists of voters
and of objected claims to the High Constable, who shall
transmit them to the Clerk of the Peace, who shall send a
list of the objected claims to the Barrister appointed to revise
it. The Clerk of the Peace shall at the first Court held by
such barrister, produce the list of voters ; and the Overseers
shall there deliver a''list of the objected claims; and all claims
not objected, to, or against which no party appears, shall be
allowed, unless the barrister sees any cause to the contrary.
A claim regularly made, but omitted in the list by the
Overseers, may be allowed (if found valid) by the barrister.
Lists of the electors with their names, residences, and qualifi-
cations to be posted up, and copies kept by overseers for the
inspection of public.—Similar lists to be posted up and kept
for inspection by Town Clerk.—Every claimant to pay Is. on
making his claim, to defray expenses of registration.—Copies
of the lists of Electors to be furnished on payment of a reason-
able price.—Lists of the voters signed by Barrister to be
transmitted to the Clerk of the Peace.
All the foregoing Clauses of the Reform Bill are repealed,
and this Act then proceeds to direct as follows :—Every Clerk
of the Peace is to have Warrants, Precepts, Notices, and
Lists, printed at the expense of the county or division, and
within first week in June every year, to issue his Warrant to
the High Constable directing him to issue his precept to the
Overseers ; the Clerk of the Peace to furnish to the High
Constable a proper number of Precepts, Notices, and Lists,
and of copies of that part of the Register of the County which
relates to the district, for the use of the Overseers.—Within

Peace, the High Constable to issue to the Overseers his pre-

all persons entitled to vote for the county to transmit on or be-
fore 20th July a notice pf their claims.—Overseers to make out,
within seven days after the 20th of July, a list of the name,
abode, nature of qualification, with description of lands, and
name of tenant, of every person claiming to vote for the
county ; and to sign said list, and post it up on the two Sun-
days after, and also that part of the register relating to their
parish ; and they shall add the words " objected to" opposite
the names of all persons whom they may suspect not to be
entitled to vote ; and write " dead" opposite to those who have
died ; and keep a copy of said list and register to be perused
gratis by any one within two weeks afterwards; and they
shall transmit, on the 29th of August, to the High Con-
stable, such a list of voters, and the original notices of
claimants and of objections, and the part of the register
relating to the parish. Any elector or claimant may ob-
ject to a claimant as not having been entitled to a vote
on the last day of July previous, of which objection he
must give notice to the 'Overseer, who shall, on or before
25th August, give notice of it to the person objected to.
On 29th August, Overseers to transmit lists of claimants, and
their original notices, and original notices of objections, and
the part of the register sent them, to the high constable. No

same qualification, and continue in same abode. Every place

Peace, and he to High Constable, who is to make out an
