city may have made complaint, as above provided. If said board of reg-
istry 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
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 reg-
istry, of each person who is upon such suspected list, requiring such per-
son, 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 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 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 touch-
ing such scrutiny, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on con-
viction shall be imprisoned in jail not less than thirty days nor more than

sixty days. In case of temporary disability on the part of any officer of
registration the Supervisors of Election may appoint a temporary officer
belonging to the same party, and administer to him the iisual 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 suspected list.

said board of registry shall again meet at the place designated, and they
shall remain in session during the hours prescribed in Section 341, for
the sole purpose of revising their registry, and no new names shall be
added. At the beginning of the session the officers of registration to whom
such suspected list was delivered shall make affidavit as to the mailing of
the notices sent by them, and to whom directed, and where, and as to the
personal services upon such persons, or as to the leaving of the same at
his place of residence so designated; and if any person to whom such
notice was sent shall appear before the board of registry during that ses-
sion, he shall make and sign an affidavit in substance as follows: "I do
solemnly swear that I am a citizen of the United States, and that I have
resided in the City of Frederick, in the County of Frederick, in the State
of Maryland, from the.............. day of.............. up to the

............ day of............. and that I have not since acquired

a legal residence giving me the right to vote elsewhere." If it is charged
that he has been convicted of any infamous crime and has not been par-
doned, he shall further make oath that he has never been so convicted,
or, if convicted, that he was pardoned at a time stated.
