REVISING BARRISTERS AND REGISTRATION.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR"]

Sin,—In your article, entitled " Revising Barristers and Regis-. tration," of Saturday last, you suggest that the Householders' occupation of premises, to entitle him to vote, should be twelve months from the time he entered on the premises. How much simpler to make the occupation similar to the ownership of 40s. freeholds for counties—viz., six months—from January 30th to. July 30th Each voter would then have to occupy twelve months before he would have the right to vote the following 1st of January. I think the above alteration may be included in the "Redistribution Bill" of the Government.--I am, Sir, etc.,
