scription of his property, or the name of the tenant in
the occupation thereof, as the same respectively are re-
quired to be inserted in any such list, shall be wholly
omitted therefrom, such Barrister shall expunge the name
of every such person from such list, unless the matter or
matters so omitted be supplied to the satisfaction of such
Barrister before he shall have completed the provision
of such list, in which case he shall then and there in-
sert the same in such list.)
Aft-r (Parliament) insert (nor any person holding any

New clause (46.)—Provided also, and be it enacted,
that if it shall happen that any person who shall have
given to the overseers of any parish or township due
notice of his claim to have his name inserted in the list
of voters in the election of a knight or knights of the
shire, shall have been omitted by such overseers from
such list, it shall be lawful for the Barrister, upon the
revision of such list, to insert therein the name of the per•
son so omitted, in ca-e it shall be proved to the satisfac-
tion of such Barrister that such person gave due notice of
such his claim to the arid overseers, and that he was en-

titled, on the last day of July then next preceding, to
be inserted in the list of voters in the election of a
knight or knights of the shire for the county, or for the
riding, parts or division of the county, wherein the
parish or township of such overseers may be situate, in re-
spect of any lands or tenements within such parish or
township.
Second new clause (80).—And whereas in may hap-
pen that the Act or Acts fur settling the boundaries of
cities, boroughs, and other places, and the divisions of
counties, as hereinbefore mentioned, may not be passed
within such time as will allow the several provisions
of this Act relative to the lists of voters within such
respective boundaries and divisions, and the various
notices and proceedings preparatory to and connected with
such lists, to be carried into effect within the several pe-
riods in the present year hereinbefore specified and limited
in that behalf; and it is therefore expedient in such event
as aforesaid to appoint other periods for the purposes afore-
said ; he it therefore enacted, that if the Act or Acts for
settling the boundaries and divisions hereinbefure men-
tioned shall not be passed before the 20th day of June in
the present year, then and in such case the notice herein-
before repaired to be given on the said 20th day of June
shall not be given on that day, and the lists of voters and
the notices and other proceedings preparatory to and con-
nected with such lists, shall not be made out, given or had
upon or within the several days or tittles in the present
year: hereinbefore specified in that behalf; but if the Act
or Acts for settling the boundaries of cities, boroughs, and
other places, and the division of counties as hereinbefore
mentioned, shall be passed in the present year subsequently
to the 20th day of June, then and in such case his Majesty
shall, by an order made with the advice of his Most Hon-
Privy Council, appoint in lieu of the day for the present
year hereinbefore specified in that behalf, a certain other
day before or upon which the respective lists of voters
shall be made out, and shall also appoint, in lieu of the
several days and times for the present year hereinbefore
specified or limited in that behalf, certain other days and
times upon or within which all notices, claims, objections,
and other matters whatsoever, by this Act required to be
given, delivered, transmitted, done, or performed in rela-
tion to such lists, either before or after the making out of
such lists, shall be respectively given, delivered, trans-
mitted, done, and performed, and his Majesty shall also, by
such order, appoint, in lieu of the period for the present
year hereinbefore limited in that behalf, a certain other pe-
riod for the revision of the respective lists of voters by the
Barristers ; and shall also appoint, within what time, in
lieu of the time for the present year hereinbefore limited in
that behalf, such respective lists shall be copied out into
books, and, where necessary, delivered to the Sheriff or
Under Sheriff, and from what day, in lieu of the day
for the present year hereinbefore specified in that behalf,
such respective books shall begin to be in force B.
the registers of voters ; and his Majesty may also, by
such an order in Council, appoint any days and time*
for doing the several other matters required or outla'
rized by this Act, in lieu of the several days and.,
times for the present year hereinbefore specified ; and
all days and times so appointed by his Majesty a'
aforesaid, shall be deemed to be of the same force and
e ffect as if they had in every instance been mentioned
in this Act, in lieu of the days and times for the present
year hereinbefore specified in that behalf; provided always,
that nothing herein contained shall authorize his Majesty to
appoint any days or times in lieu of the days and times me°'
tioned in this Act, except for the purpose of carrying into
effect the first registration of voters under this Act ; provided
also, that no person shall be entitled to be included in web
first registration of voters, unless he would have been en,"
titled, on the last day of July in the present year, to have 10
name inserted in some list of voters, if such list had beep
made out on the said last day of July.

We are happy to observe that the elegant and
accomplished pen whose vers de Societe are quite LT;
equalled in the present day, has just resumed its deligbtlil
I unctions, after a too long interregnum, occasioned by ti,",
more absorbing political claims upon the time and though'
of its distinguished mover. The hand which pens 111

The titles of the three poems are " The Rising Youll,
