The impression <»f many people was that population was to be : The chief guide ot the Gonrmissioners,; but according to, the present complainants, the Commissionnrs were nut precluded -from cnsid'ring. the. charaorer of the indu&ti'-ies in - Uro several- districts co-mi o^f under thr-i-r notice, .-of tie, g-ent'Tal conv-oniervce of sitaa.tion.B for the' purposes of the election.' In' any case, the " next general -election will kave to 'be con--ducted upon the Hues laid down by the Commissioners, but.it is affirmed that for ;he purpose of having electoral rolls 'duly -prepared for miy subsequent election, ParlianiHn: sli<uild be ask«d to !a I<e the whole subject in-to cuii"'sideranon, wiih a view to an i-tnprove-nient of t-he present system of laying off the boundaries of electorates,"
