If case of an admission to make such entry, no act done by any person in consequence of such appointment shall be void, but the omission of culpable is a punishable misdemeanour; and to every person suffering harm in consequence, the delinquent is moreover responsible in {the name of} damage.

3. Wherever any act is required or permitted to be done /performed/ at a certain Office, an obligation is thereby imposed on the Office-bearer, and on all persons acting under him, to do what depends upon them respectively towards the performance of it: and on failure to suffer as above.

III. An Election Agent appointed either by a majority of the Cocertifiers whose names are signed to the Recommendatory Certificate, given in favour of a proposed Member, or by the proposed Member himself: in which case he becomes a Candidate. When a Candidate he may revoke any appointment made of an Agent by his Co-certifiers. Of every such appointment and revocation a memorandum shall forthwith be entered on the books of each Polling District.

No proposed Member shall appear /be present/ at any Polling Office during / the/ Polling time / day/ or on the day last preceding. No proposed Member shall in person solicit any Vote. ( )
