PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, ESQ., GOVERNOR. 1037

SEC. 270S. Before separating on the last day said board of
registry shall make out a list with the registered address of all
those who have been registered as qualified voters, whom either
one of the officers of registration suspects not to be qualified
voters, or against whom any voter of the city may have made
complaint, as above provided. If said board of registry shall,
however, know that any person so complained of is a qualified
voter, then such name need not be put upon the list of sus-
pected persons. The officers of registration shall, on or before
the Saturday next following, sign a notice and send the same
through the mail duly stamped to the address as given, in
the registry, of each person who is upon such suspected list,
requiring such, person to appear before the board of registry
upon the Tuesday following, giving the time of such session,
and show cause why his name should not be erased from
such registers; proper blanks and postage stamps shall be fur-
nished for this purpose by the city register. A similar notice
shall also be served by one of said officers upon such person
before the following Tuesday, and if he cannot be found at
the place designated upon such registers, the notice shall be
left there if such place can be found. Any officer of registra-
tion, or other person acting temporarily as such, as hereinafter
provided, who willfully neglects to perform his duty shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be
imprisoned in jail not leas than thirty days nor more than
sixty days. In case of temporary disability on the part of any
officer of registration, the city register may appoint a temporary
officer and administer to him the usual oath of office, and said
temporary officer of registration shall perform all the duties of
the office, until the disability of the regular officer is removed,
and it shall be the duty of the officers of registration, so far
as may be in their power, to inform themselves as to all the
persons whose names may be on such suspect list.

SEC. 270V. Any person who feels aggrieved by the action
of any board of registry in refusing to register him as a quali-
fied voter, or in erasing or misspelling his name, or that of any
other person on the registry or in registering or in failing to
erase the name of any fictitious, deceased or disqualified per-
son, may at any time, either before or after the last session
of the board of registry, but not later than the Saturday next
preceding the election, file a petition, verified by affidavit, in
the Circuit Court for Frederick County, setting forth the
ground of his application, and asking to have the registry cor-
rected. The Court shall forthwith set the petition for hearing
and direct summons to be issued requiring the board of regis-
