II.; and 2dly, What the law is where persons are after their death continued on the roll, and their heirs are of the same name and designation. 3dly, We almost all agreed that a vote of the meeting, finding that any person claiming a vote is not the person in the roll, is sufficient to justify the preses by them chosen for not calling that person.
