THE ELECTORAL LAW.
- CHARGES DISMISSED. By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, November 26. Mr Kettle, S.M., gave his reserved judgment in the charges againat the Electoral Act against Emil Eriksen, James Ikin, and John Endean. It appeared that Endean and Ikin were canvassing for claims for enrolment. Ikin boarded a vessel, and induced Eriksen to sign a claim for enrolment. Ikin was not entitled to attest Eriksen's signature, but Endean, who was standing on the wharf, and saw Eriksen sign, subsequently appended his signature as a witness. The magistrate commented upon the fact that the claim was not read over to Eriksen, who was not conscious he was committing a breach of the law in making the declaration that he was a British sub-, ject, and had resided in New Zealand twelve months. The magistrate dismissed all three informations.
