Headnote

In the matter of the application of Edward Finnerty for an order directing the board of registry of the First election district of the borough and county of Richmond to convene and strike from the registry of said district certain names.

Order reversed, without costs, on the following grounds: (1) That the omission to file the statement mentioned in subdivision 2 of section 34 of the election law, when such statement is not required by the registration officers, is not fatal to the right to be registered; (2) that the evidence in this case, although in some instances vague and indefinite, was sufficient to require the registration of the respective appellants as voters in the election district.
