All over England this week the claim of women to
vote under the new Reform act is getting decided
Decided but not settled for the courts of the Reys-
ing Bar1sters are not courts of final jurisdiction
Claims were made in the irst instance by numbers
of women before the overseers that Their names
should 60 on the registration lists They were
granted in some cases. refused in many more. Ia
either event the lists come before th" c~ri"g bar
risters who hear objections TO names that have been
put on and claims for names that have been kept OIL
And from the decision of the Barrsers also appeal
NAV be taken TO a higher court. Every Register in
England undergoes this double or triple revision.
Under the new act arise a great number OF new
points Thousands OF claims and objections are
made in many constituencies, and the fate OF more
than one election will be decided in advance by the
settlement of the registry Zach party is represented

unexpected prominence. in lambeth, when the

In Tanbridge in The Parish of Melbourne. the
oyerseers had enrolled the names OF number Of
women but the Revising Barrister, MI. VIM. Cooper,
"unhesitatngly eXpuilged them saying that 1t was
an absnTdty to place them there"
IN Chelsea the claims Of number OF women were
djsa!lOwed on the ground OF insufficient occupation,
meaning that they had not proved residence OF
sufficient duration.
Ar Brantree in North Essex, the Revising BaTister
Mr. D. {. c. Fish. said that he should strike on the
names of all females, whether they were objected

The great struggle of all is Manchester, where the
