A Practical Ready Reference Guide to Election of District and

Parish Councillors, by J. Harris Stone, M.A., and J. G. Pease, B.A. (Philip and Son), gives in an alphabetical arrangement all the information that can be wanted on the subject.

Some question has been raised whether such a power exists, but our authors seem to have no doubt.
