The name of every candidate had to be proposed in writing by one Justice and seconded by another. Then the voting would be by ballot, and no Justice could claim more than one vote. The ballot boxes would be opened and the voter counted in the pre-

The seventh rule was important-In the event of an equal number of votes being registered in favour of candidates whose tolals are the highest the names of such candidates-will bo submitted for ballpl."
