it appears that the lands described in the Schedule

from time to time to abolish, and to appoint other
Polling Places in lieu of those abolished, and that
every such Warrant shall be published in the New

votes thereat: And whereas by the said Act it is
further enacted that every election of the Superin-
tendent or of a Member of the Provincial Council
