ART. 33] REGISTRATION. 853

fied voter, whom either on of the officers of registration suspects not to be
qualified voters, or against whom any voter of the ward or county 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 suspected persons,
unless required by a member of the board. The officers of registration
to whom such list has been delivered shall, on or before Friday 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 the 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 furnished for this
purpose by the board of supervisors. A similar notice shall also be
served by said officers upon such person before the following Tuesday
and if he can not be found at the place designated upon said registers,
the notice may be left there, if such place can be found. Any officer of
registration, or other person acting temporarily as such, as hereinafter
provided, who wilfully neglects to perform his duty touching such
scrutiny, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction
shall be imprisoned in jail not less than six months nor more than
twelve months. In case of temporary disability on the part of said
officers, the board of registry may appoint a temporary clerk belonging
to the same party, and administer to him the usual oath of office, and
said temporary clerk shall perform all the duties of the office until the
disability of the other officer is removed. And it shall also be the duty
of each of the other officers of registration, so far as may be in his
power, to inform himself as to all persons whose names may be on
such suspected list.

in person to be registered. The same forms shall be observed as to
applications made on this Saturday of registration as are required on
the former days of registration. At the end of registration on this
Saturday registers shall be examined, compared and made to agree,
and they shall then be signed immediately under the last name reg-
istered under each letter, in the same way as hereinbefore provided.
