    • After the signatures of the proposer and seconder,

4 p.m., and after the latter hour no further vote shall
be allowed to be recorded; and the candidates in whose
favour the greatest number of votes shall have been
recorded at the said hour of 4 p.m., or, in the event of
there not being more than the requisite number, then
the candidates nominated shall, as soon thereafter as
may be, be declared by the Warden, or other officer, to

election is null and void, and thereupon an election
shall be held when, where, and as may be determined
by the Board, for filling up the deficiency caused by
such declaration.

votes within the division wherein they possess the
requisite qualification, and the document by virtue

    exclusive right may be acquired, with the privilege of
    enclosing the ground and of erecting headstones or other
    monuments thereon. A portion of ground of this class
    shall be staked off into lots of 9 feet by 4½ feet each,
    and having a frontage to a road. These lots shall be
    sold for £1 1s. each.

  5. Class II., being ground on which the perpetual
    and exclusive right may be acquired, but the purchaser
