HEREFORD. The Number of Electors Registered in 1836 and 1837 was as follows,: Freemen _________ 414 Electors ------- - 495 Total - - - _ 909 The Number of Electors Polled at the late General Election was as follows : Freemen Electors Total - - • 22 December 1837. J. E. Gough, Mayor. HERTFORD. Number of electors registered for 1836 ------ 631 Freemen ________ 243 Old right ( inhabitant householders) - 205 New right ( 10/. qualification) ----- 279 Number of electors registered for 1837 - - - - - - 619 Freemen - -- -- -- - 234 Old right - _____ 182 New right --_----- 330 Number of electors who polled at the election in July 1837 - - 580 It is impossible to classify these under the respective heads, as many of the electors have all the three rights shown above, and the poll- books do not distinguish them. Philip Longmore, Town Clerk. HONITOX. The voters classed under the head of " 10/. qualification only" are those who gained that right by the extension of the borough under the Boundary Act, and such as have become entitled to it by their occupation since that period. The great body of the voters classed under the head of " Potwallers" are likewise entitled to the 10/. qualification, but this does not appear on the register. The first register was prepared under the advice of Mr. Serjeant Coleridge ( whose opinion was submitted to, and approved by, the Secretary of State), who recommended that all persons entitled to the old franchise should be registered as such, although a great portion of them were likewise entitled to be registered under the 10/. quali- fication. 18 December 1837. 329- H Wm. Rogers, Portreeve.
