Cap. 157, s. 39 · Revised Edition 2020

(1) Whenever it is found that an entry has been made in the register of any district, which should have been made in the register of another district, the Registrar of the district where such erroneous entry has been made shall correct the same by a note or entry in the margin, which shall contain a statement of the circumstances under which the correction is made, with the date thereof, and shall be signed by the persons, if any, supplying the information upon which it is made, and also by the Registrar, who shall then rule one clear line through the erroneous entry, but so that such entry shall remain legible.
