Dakml       description  for  the  purpose  of  more  clearly  defining  the
C^Jimi.      qualification.]

Buit  for  the  respondent.  The  description  of  the
voter's  qualification,  as  it  appeared  in  the  list,  was
clearly  good.  There  is  nothing  in  the  schedules  an-
nexed either  to  the  Reform  or  the  Registration  Act,
which  makes  it  necessary  to  state  the  nature  and  extent  of
the  interest  which  the  occupier  has  in  the  premises.  It  is
enough  that  the  party  should  comply  with  the  terms  of
the  acts  of  parliament.  The  nature  of  the  qualification
means  simply  a  description  of  the  premises  in  respect  of
the  occupation  of  which  the  party  is  entitled  to  vote.
The  length  of  the  occupation  and  the  value  of  the
premises  are  not  required  to  be  stated.  In  Schedule  (I)
No.  1.  to  the  Reform  Act,  the  form  of  the  list  directed
to  be  publbhed  by  the  overseers  contains,  in  the  column
headed  *'  Nature  of  qualification,''  the  following  ex*
amples  of  what  was  meant  should  be  inserted  under
that  head:  **  House,  warehouse,  shop,  counting-house ;**
and  in  the  corresponding  form  in  the  Registration  Act,
Schedule  (B),  No.  S.,  no  examples  at  all  are  given.
{Maude  J.  The  question  is,  whether  the  nature  of  the
qualification  is  the  occupation  of  the  premises  or  not.
