ELECTORAL ROLLS
AN.ALLEGED IRREGULARITY. Members of Parliament have been, showing considerable _ anxiety, this session about the working or the new 6chemo for the compilation of the rolls, somo of them being apparently apprehensive that the work is not being prosecuted with proper diligence. Mr. J M'Combs informed the House of Representatives last evening that in some districts postal officers detailed for thduty of collecting enrolment forms were taking unwitnessed forms, saying that the signatures would be duly witnessed at the'office. ;This meant, as he pointed out, that signatures were to be witnessed by persons who had not . seen them written. He asked whether practices of this kind would invalidate the enrolment ' : The Hon. J. Allen, who replied m lieu of the Hon. F. M. B Fisher, advised Mr. M'Combs to report to the Minister any specific instances of theso irregularities. . Mr. M'Combs said that the procedure ho had mentioned was being followed at Sumner Post- Office. Personally, if it did not invalidate the enrolments, he did not object to it.
