should contain particulars such as post vtice address, etc., they intimate that the reasou of removal should be noted.

Why should the revising officer accept a bald aftirmation to remove a vote how, 1 the face of the plain words of the Act that he must note the reason for removal on the list, when in 1886 he held that the facts aflirmation,
should be set forth in the
although there was nothing in the Act to require it ¢ The common principles of law and justice demand that no man should be put on his trial without a specific charge being made against him. It would be just as fair to put a man to the ignomy and expense of a
public trial because some person had made a declaration that his character was bad, as to put a man to the annoyance, trouble and expense of proving his vote simply because some person had made a vague declaration that he had no qualification.
In requiring that the reason of removal should be noted on the list, Parliament no doubt intended that the voter should know the grounds of objection so that he could prepare his defence. If the course pursued by the Grits is allowed the man whose vote is objected to may be kept in utter ignor- auce of the nature of the objection unti]
he appears in the Court of final revision. lt may be urged in reply to this that the effect of accepting these bald declarations
will not absolutely remove the name, but to merely cause it to be put on the list, to be removed after the final revision. This answer is not worth a moment’s considera- tion. The putting aname on the list to be removed throws the onus of proving a vote on the person objected to. He will have to give fourteen days notice of his applica- tion to restore his name to the original list. He will have to attend the court with his evidence.
it also provides that the reason of removal

In its alarm at what it professed to be- lieve was being done by the Tories of Prince County, the Patriot declared its hope that Judge Kelly might be found sutticiently independent to reject improper applications. So now the eyes of all right- thinking men are turned to Judge Alley to prevent an attempted wrong.

Fish and Game Protection.
A largely attended meeting of most of the leading sportsmen of the Province was held last night pursuant to notice, Mr. R. R. Fitzgerald presiding.
The universal testimony of all present as to the depleted state of every river on the Island, presented an unfortunate commentary on the efficiency of the present preventive force. An Inspector at $1;000 a year and some fifty wardens at $30 each was considered an expenditure which should afford some means of protection. It was unanimously decided to represent the facta to the Department at Ottawa urging them tu do away with the local fishery wardens, and to appoint in their place an_ efticient assistant who would take under his special charge the four reserved rivers, viz : Dunk, Winter, Morrell and Midgell. In the opinion of all present there would be no difficulty in catching and punishing poach- ers as long immunity had made them bold in their depredations. Messrs. R. R. Fitzgerald, Hon. Neil McLeod and W. W. Beer were appointed a special committee to draft this memorial.
For the information of the people of the Province, it was resolyed to publish and distribute posters shortly setting forth the laws, and offering $20 reward two any person procuring a conviction against any offender.
The discussion at the meeting was a most interesting one. We regret that our space will not permit us to give a further synop- sis of it, but it was evident that a determin- ed effort will be made to prevent the further destruction of fish and game in this Pro- vince
We are satisfied that the department at Ottawa will be be only too glad to assist in this work, and by every means in its pow- er, lend powerful aid to the Society, as it is now reformed.
