No person can lawfully vote at such election unless his fees to the
council have been paid; and no person is eligible to election unless
qualified to vote at such election (_ib._, s. 14).
A register of such qualified voters is required to be prepared by the
registrar of the council and no person is entitled to vote whose name
is not on the register; it is the duty of the registrar to examine into
the written complaint of any medical practitioner as to the improper
omission or insertion of any name in the list; and appeal from his
decision lies to a judge of the supreme court in a summary way, whose
decision shall be final, and no unregistered person may vote (_ib._, s.
16, 17).
REGISTER.—The council is required to appoint a registrar and to cause
a register to be kept by him of the names of all persons who have
complied with this act and with the rules and regulations made by the
council respecting the qualifications of practitioners of medicine or
surgery, and those persons only whose names are inscribed in the said
register, are deemed qualified and licensed to practise medicine or
surgery except as hereinafter provided (_ib._, s. 26).
The registrar is required to keep his register correct, and to make the
necessary alterations in the addresses and qualifications of registered
persons (_ib._, s. 27).
QUALIFICATION.—Every person at the passage of the act (1886)
registered under the medical ordinance of 1867 is entitled to be
registered under this act (_ib._, s. 28).
The council is required to admit upon the register any person who shall
procure from any college or school of medicine and surgery requiring
a three-years’ course of study, a diploma of qualification, provided
he furnish to the council satisfactory evidence of identity and pass
before the members thereof a satisfactory examination touching his
fitness and capability to practise as a physician and surgeon (_ib._,
s. 29).
The council is required to admit upon the register every person
mentioned in 49 and 50 Vict., c. 48, of the Acts of Parliament of the
United Kingdom, duly registered under the imperial Medical Act, prior
to and inclusive of June 30th, 1887, upon complying with the orders,
regulations or by-laws of the council and giving due proof of such
registration, and that the person applying for registration has not
lost the benefit of same by reason of misconduct or otherwise, and upon
payment of the fees fixed by the council, not to exceed one hundred
dollars (Act 1893, c. 27, s. 2).
DUTIES OF COUNCIL.—The council is required to make orders,
regulations, or by-laws for regulating the register and the fees to
be paid for registration, and to make rules and regulations for the
guidance of examiners, and may prescribe the subjects and modes of
examination, and make all such rules and regulations in respect of
examinations not contrary to this act as they deem expedient and
necessary (Cons. Acts 1888, c. 81, s. 31).
