190 PARLIAMENTS OF THE DOMINIONS [PART LiL the person claiming to vote shall have resided within the last three months within the electoral division for which he claims registration. The Registration Act, No. 14 of 1887, cxcludes persons whose only qualification by possession of property is a share in tribal occupancy. The old Cape Assembly consisted of 107 members for forty-six divisions. Lunatics, and persons convicted for murder, treason, and other offences, are disqualified. In Natal the conditions are similar, but there is no dis- qualification on the ground of lunacy, and there is no educational qualification. (@) A voter must own immovable property worth £50 within the constituency ; or, as an alternative, (6) he must rent immovable property worth £10 per annum within the constituency ; or as an alternative, (¢) he must have resided three years in the Colony, and have income worth £8 per month. Natives, including coloured people, are disqualified unless they have resided for twelve years in the Colony, have been exempted from the operation of native law for seven years, have been recommended by three duly qualified European electors, and have received a certificate at the discretion of the Governor, who would act in Council, entitling them to registration. Persons who are natives or descendants in the male line of natives of countries which have not possessed representative elective institutions founded on the parlia- mentary franchise are also prevented from voting under an Act of 1896, unless exempted by the Governor in Council. In the old Assembly there were forty-three members for seventeen divisions. In the Transvaal and the Orange River Colony the only qualifications required are residence for six months before registration, or a total residence of six months in the three years preceding, and residence at the date of registration " See The Government of South 4 frica, ii. 396, 397 ; Parl Pap., Cd. 2399, pp. 65 seq. ; Cape Acts No. 9 of 1892; No. 19 of 1898; No. 48 of 1899; No. 5 of 1902; No. 6 of 1908; Natal Charter, July 15, 1856, ss. 11, 12; Law No. 11 of 1865; No. 2 of 1883; Act No. 8 of 1896 ; Transvaal Letters Patent, Dee. 6, 1906, ss. 9, 10; Orange River Colony Letters Patent, June 5. 1907, ss. 9. 10.
