Book Description

Excerpt from A Digest of Parliamentary and Municipal Registration Cases: Containing an Abstract of the Cases Decided on Appeal From the Decisions of Revising Barristers Revising the Period Commencing 1843 and Ending 1891, With Supplements Bringing the Cases Down to End of the Year 1891 Encouraged by the favourable reception accorded to my "Digest of Registration Cases," and having regard to the changes effected by recent legislation relating to the Franchise and the Registration of Voters, I venture to think that a new Edition of the Work may be of use to Revising Barristers and others concerned in the business of Registration. Acting on this view, I have compiled the present Edition, in which the arrangement and classification of Cases are in substantial conformity with those in the former Edition. But, the Occupation Qualification in Counties and Boroughs having (by virtue of 48 Vict. c.3) become assimilated, I have (in reporting cases decided on the Occupation Franchise since 1884) discontinued the use of distinctive headings indicating the Occupation Franchise in Counties and Boroughs respectively, and have substituted the general term of "Occupation Franchise under g 48 Vict. c.3."
