§ MR. J. G. TALBOTasked the Secretary to the Local Government Board, Whether any instructions have been or will be issued to overseers, in view of the ensuing registration, respecting their duty in the case of county electors whose qualifications may be, under the operation of the Divided Parishes Act, 1876, geographically transferred to a parish other than that in which they have hitherto been registered, or what steps will be necessary to be taken in order to save the franchise of the electors affected by such alterations?
MR. GEORGE RUSSELLIt has never been the practice of the Board to issue Circulars with regard to the registration of voters; and they do not deem it desirable to make an exception as regards the matter referred to in the Question.
