At this Court, after giving one week's notice, the Revising Officer can add to the said list ail names of voters who are entitled to be on, and correct any errors that may have been dis- covered. It will be observed that there are a large number of changes to be made in the list as it will be published by the Revising Officer, on account of the sale of property change of tenancy and deaths since the last revision of the Assessment Rolls and Voters' Lists, and there will be a very large number of persons entitled to vote under the new franchise who were never before on any Voters' List or probably on the Assessment Roll, such as farm labourers fishermen. Dom-nion Government employees, owners' sons and Iridians. It is in view of these great changes to be made now that our friends are earnestly and patriotically entreated to put forth all the energy and zeal they possess individu- ally and collectively in order to make this, the first Voters' List under the new Act, a perfect success. The time for having names put on the preliminary list (which has to be published on or before the first of March) being now nearly up, the next and the most important stage in connection with the Voters' List has arrived, and it cannot be too strongly and earnestly urged upon our Conservative friends that if this opportunity be allowed to slip without being taken advantage of.no energy at a later stage can make up for the lost opportunity. The period referred to is the time that is now to elapse before the holding of the Court for the preliminary revision of the list, which must be holden at a day not less than four weeks after the publication of the list. Notice of the holding of such Court is to be pub- lished forthwith after th^ publication of the list itself. The Court may therefore be held at the end of March, but pro- bably will not be held until early in April. Five weeks is all then that can be counted on; but one Court in each Elec- toral Division is now to be held, and that in such place within the Division as the Revising Officer appoints. of property, ivisioii of the :re will be a te under the Voters' List ni labourers, owners' sons •e made now ly entreated 3SS individu- first Voters' Phe time for :h has to be f now nearly connection inot be too Ltive friends thout being an make up ) is the time le Court for t be holden blication of i to be pub- itself.

At this Court names that have not yet been placed on the list may be added, the proper notice hereinafter re- ferred to being given ; and it is understood that most of the Revising Officers will accept the same evidence, as. to the right of a person to have his name registered as a voter, at the sittings of the Court that they have been receiving so far as entitling the names to be put on the preliminary lists. ^ IS* But as it is of the greatest importance that there should be no failures at the sittings of this first Court, which could only be rectified at great expense and incon- venience at the sittings of the Courts for the final revision oftiielists, itis suggested that the views of each Revis- ing Officer in each District on this point should he ascer- tamed in advance, and that whatever rule he lays down should be understood and acted upon.

A change in tenancy from one property to another during the year within the same Elec- toral District does not deprive the tenant of his right to be placed on the Voters' List, provided the rent paid is in every case equal td the above amounts and the change is made without intermission. The tenant must have paid a year's rent before he can be registered as a voter, but such year's rent may be for the year ending on the last gale day before the final revision.

The Sittiiij^N of the Final Court. At this sitting probably stricter evidence for adding names will be required than was accepted at the firsl urt; but the kind of evidence, whether statutory de- ration or by. viva voce evidence, which the Revising icer will have, should be ascertained m advance, and requirements of the Revising Officer, whatever they y be, attended to. Some person of sufficient experience, lawyer or agent, lould attend the Court, to prosecute the matter for the -nservative party, and whateve. evidence is required ould be secured in advance of the sittings of the Court ; (1 subpcrnas can be obtained from the Revising Officer |r the necessary witnesses who won't attend without being 'mmonsed. The kind of evidence, and the nature of the evidence, be adduced, must depend on the circumstances of each se. For example, if the application was to add a person lo had earned $300 a year, he, or the person he worked th, would have to give evidence of the facts. 8S GencrHl Uircciloiiii.
