In receiving these ballots, the check list prepared by the Registrars of Voters, and also the box approved and recently provided by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, were used, but soon after the polls were opened, it was found that it was impos- sible to determine by the box-register the number of ballots cast, for the reason that in many instances the registering machine would not work, though all the ballots cast were duly cancelled- and the Moderator directed the continuance of the use of the box, and all the ballots cast under this article were deposited in said box, and all were duly cancelled. A certificate of these facts was made by the Moderator, as follows :
DEDHAM, March 5, 1888.
At a Town Meeting held this day, at Dedham, in the County of Norfolk, at which I presided as Moderator, the ballot-box, called the Standard, approved and recently provided by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, was used, but
·
£

owing to some defect in the box, or in the machinery thereof, it failed, in many instances, to register the ballots as they were deposited in the box ; all the ballots, however, were properly deposited and duly cancelled, and I directed that the box should be used, and that all ballots cast on the liquor question should be deposited therein, which was done accordingly.
