There is no annual revision of the register, even to strike off the names of dead per- sons, Besnard 54- 62 The list should be revised annually as respects deaths, and parting with qualifications, Besnard 248- 251 At the first revising sessions any person should be at liberty to question the rights of any one appearing on the re- gister, Besnard 6275 Great improvement would be effected if the register were annually revised, Besnard 111, Meagher 3777- 3780, Barber 6193, 6194. 2.
