All the claims were allowed save the following, which were struck, off for the reasons assigned:— John Cuttler, Remuera, freehold, house and land at Itemuera on allotment 144 of section 16 of suburbs of Auckland, property not in the Franklin district; Charles Eaton, Remuera, freohold, Panmuro, lot 45, property not in district ; Thomas Wells Marsh, Queen-street, Auckland, freehold, Karioi, 240 acres near township of Raglan, property not in district j Henry Samuel Andrews, Mangere, freehold, Mangere, the Retreat Parm, Manurewa block, claim not attested by an elector of the district, the Registration Officer, or a J.P. There were 65 objections taken by the Registration Officer to names on the roll, and all ■were allowed save one, no one appearing to show cause why his name should not be struck off. The list of objections was published in our columns a few weeks ago. The objection withdrawn was the one against Henry Andrews, Mangere, freehold. Eoen District. — There were 31 objections taken by the Registration Officer, all of which ■were allowed save John Bowman, Remuera, household!; John Blinman Bull, Remuera, household ; George Duncan, Remuera, household j Denis Kelly, Remuera, household ; John Peach, Remuera, household ; Thomas Phillipson, Remuera, household.
