1t is thought advisable (says Philip Williams

county, writing in the Woodstock Sentinel that
so soon the poll is closed tho precincts, the
commissioners and two creditab'e persons shall
subscribe each sheet Tho act Of 1882 only re-
qnires this to be done by the commissioners at the
courthouse, but tho act of 1881 requires com
'nissoncrs at separate elections 10 perform
The same offices and duties the commits
sioners ut the courthouse The commission
ers at the separate Polls must report the
poll ny them taken (or fair copy thereby to the
commissioners vino superinie end the election at the
court-house, within five days after thc electioa
shall have commenced. 1t is thought that the
tickets given iii ut the separate polls should also be
returned with the polls TO the commissoners.-Any
TWO OF the commissioners may act; and if from
sickness any other cause, only shall attend,
he may associate with himself tho sheriff or any
magistrate of the county, who, after being quail
lied, shal! be competent TO act.
