Ireland] ELECTION. 9 Reports, 1837- 8— continued. Besnard, J. C. ( Analysis of his Evidence)— continued. measure, 6262- 6264 The registration should be severed from the functions of assis- tant barristers, and revising barristers should be appointed by the judges, 6265- 6270 Frauds that maybe committed in the registration at Cork, 6271- 6274 Species of revision that should be established; an appeal to the judge of assize should be allowed against improper admissions, 6275- 6282 Suggestions forwarded to the Government by the corporation of Cork during the progress of the Reform Bill, 6284- 6294 Offi- cers in cities and towns who might perform the same duties as overseers in England in making out the lists of voters, 6295- 6302. 6332. Rating should be the test of value, 6303- 6307 The register and polling should both be parochial, and not, as at present, according to initials, 6308- 6310. 6313- 6322 In to- wns where there are no officers to furnish lists of persons who pay rates, the revising barrister should take the 60th section of the Poor Law Bill as the standard of value, 6311, 6312 Each man should have a right to vote immediately after the registry, but should have been 12 months in possession before he registered, 6324 The rates should be required to be paid on a particular day, as in England ; inconveniences that would be removed, 6325 Time would be saved at the registry by not hearing barristers, but no other persons are capable of eliciting the facts, 6326- 6329 The establishment of county gazettes would be desirable, 6333, 6334. Many persons in the liberties of Cork have not a county qualification, and would be disfranchised if that were made necessary, 6335- 6349 This class are not a desirable constituency, 6350- 6355 There would be inconvenience in attending the assizes on appeals from distant parts of the county, 6362- 6374 Freemen should be required to pay rates, 6377 Marks should be made to show such persons as have registered more than once for different qualifications, 6380- 6383. The revising barrister should be enabled to reserve special points of law for the deci- sion of the Court of Queen's Bench in Dublin ; this would produce uniformity, 6384- 6392 The power given to fifty- pound freeholders to make affidavits without question as to value, may lead to the registry of improper persons, 6393, 6394 The polling both for counties and towns should be limited to one day, 6395— 6398 There would be less excitement, and rioting, and bribery, 6399- 6402 A Sunday should never inter- vene between the nomination and day of polling, 6403, 6404.

The number of booths add to the expense of elections; there were ten booths at the last Cork election; at a former election the voters at one of the booths were not all polled, Besnard 223- 234 Advantage that would arise from having those letters in which there are a very large number of electors divided and arranged in districts, Meagher 3914- 3922 Ai all elections a sufficient number of booths ought to be erected, so as to enable the whole constituency to be polled, Deeble 5522- 5526 Should be provided for every 200 electors, Lane 4606.
