collected shall be paid to the town treasurer and deposited in
the general funds of the Town. Any person who shall feel ag-
grieved at any action of the town clerk, taken under Sections
16 or 17 in refusing to register him or in refusing to strike
off the list the name of any person, shall have the right to ap-
peal to the Circuit Court of Prince George's County at any
time before the day of election and such case shall be heard by
such court as provided for by the general election laws of the

to such appeals.
