Service of a notice of objection, posted on the 24th of August, and which in due course of post should have been delivered on the 25th, is not informal by reason of the notice not having been delivered until the 27th. Also, that the 100th section is applicable both to notices to Overseers and to parties. Bishop and Helps. LUT. I. p. 353. B. & A. p. 572. The production of a properly stamped duplicate notice of claim to the Overseers is sufficient evidence of posting in time, and in this respect there is not any distinction to be taken between a notice of objection and a notice of claim. Bayley and the Overseers of Nantwich. LUT. I. p. 363. B. & A. p. 642.

Notices of objection to the Overseers were proved to have been enclosed in an envelope addressed "to the Overseers" of the proper parish, and sent by ordinary post according to s. 101 Registration Act, and were duly received and published. Held to be a sufficient proof of service by post, and that the service of notices by post upon Overseers need not be according to the statutory provisions of s. 100. Smith and Huggett, and Smith and James. K. & G. p. 434.

The production of a duplicate notice of objection, bearing the postoffice dated stamp, is in all cases of notices served through the post, conclusive proof of the service on the voter in the ordinary course of post. Hornsby and Robson. K. & G. p. 66.

A notice of objection was posted on Saturday, the 23rd of August, and delivered in due course of post, on Sunday, the 24th: Held, Sufficient service, and not within the statute 29 Charles II, cap. 7. Colville and Lewis. LUT. 1. p. 380. B. & A. p. 608.

Production of the stamped duplicate notice of objection by the objector, and not "by the party who posted such notice," is sufficient proof; and that, as the whole faith and credit is attached to the stamp of the post-master, the production of the duplicate may be either by the objector; or by an agent who posted the notice. Cuming and Toms. LUT. I. p. 151. B. & A. p. 229.
