THIS DAY. The Revising Barrister resumed the examination of the claimants for the city of Westminster this morning at the Lords Justices' Court, Westminster Hall. The parish taken was St. George's, Hanover square, in which there are no less than 1,400 lodger claimants alone. The mode adopted in substan tiating the right to vote was simply the calling out the claimant's name, and in the event of its being unchallenged by the agents of either party, the claim was allowed. Francis Allen claimed in respect of apartments occupied in the house, 72, Cambridge-street. It appeared that the father of the claimant was al ready on the list of electors for the house, and the claimant resided there also. It was contended that there was no separate occupation, and to meet this objection the rent book was produced. The Revising Barrister said, after examining the book, it appeared to him that the entries were all in one handwriting in the same book, and to have been all made at one time. Such being his impres sion, it appeared to him to have the look of a get up vote. A rerson in court said the claimant was a highly respectable person, and would not do that. The Revising Barrister said he should postpone his decision until the claimant was present to give further information. Thomas Bird, 15, Bloomfield-place, claimed in respect of two rooms. Mr. Noakes objected to the claim on the ground of informality in filling up the form of claim, viz., the non-insertion of the name of the landlord. lle thought it best to raise the objection at once, as it appeared to occur very often in the list they were engaged with. The Revising Barrister thought he had power under the act to sapply the omission. Mr. Gilbert said the same point had been raised in the city of London and reserved. Under such circumstances he thought it would be wise to follow that course for the present. Mr. Noakes observed that the learned gentleman had power to make alterations in either column in the claim except that specifying qualifications. It was necessary some decision was come to as time was precious. _ Mr Gilbert said the great thing that prevented matters from going on as rapidly as could be wished was the great amount of talk that took place every time any objection was made. If it was deter mined to amend the claim as proposed, it would be, he contended, contrary to the spirit and meaning of the act. The Revising Barrister--Perhaps you would like to have a case ? Mr. Gilbert—Oh, no ; we've had too many cases already. lam only anxious that justice should be done irrespective of colour—blue, yellow, or green. The Revising Barrister—l am of opinion that I can supply the omission under the 40th section, but I will postpone my final decision for the present. CITY OF LONDON. Mr. Spencer Percival, the Revising Barrister for the city, resumed his inspection of the registration of votes this morning. Mr. Harper appeared for the Conservative, and Mr. Smith and Mr. Ledger for the Liberal Association. Last night, with a few exceptions, the Coleman street Ward was finished. It is the sth Ward on the list, and this morning the Court proceeded to take the 6th or Bishopsgate Ward. AN OBJECTOR'S EVIDENCE. Messrs. Taylor and Richardson, pocket-book makers, claimed to be enrolled on the register on the ground that they occupied each four rooms on separate floors at No. 35, Basinghall-street, as tenants under a Miss Northam, who, it was stated, was resident in Fitzroy-square. Mr. Harper ob jected to the parties who occupied the same floor, as this would constitute a joint occu pancy. The evidence, however, of the parties con tradicted this statement, but Mr. Harper still con tended that the landlady ought to be produced in order to decide the question. He hadsent to Fitzroy square to endeavour to ascertain whether she was to be found there, but without success. He urged that the description was not sufficient unless she was pro duced, and desired that the Court would allow him time to supply better evidence. The Revising Barrister considered that he must admit the claim, inasmuch as the description of the persons was correct, and that it was not necessary in a large square or long street to be very exact as to the address. If it were a street of a dozen houses it would be different. Mr. Harper could get fresh evidence if the matter stood over. The Re vising Barrister said he could not keep the list open. It was, iu his opinion, the duty of an objector to come there prepared with his objections, and not to come into court to fish for information from the witness. That was a course of proceeding which he strongly objected to. The claim was therefore admitted. RUSSIAN RED TAPE.—A fire lately occurred in a Russian village on the Prussian frontier ; the firemen belonging to a neighbouring Prussian town hastened with their engines to render aid, but on reaching the barriers their passports were demanded. In vain they urged that they were on a mission of obvious necessity ; the man at the barrier said he must seek orders from his chief. Mean while a second detachment of Prussian firemen arrived without passports; they, too, were detained. At length the chief officer gave them permission to pass, and on reaching the scene of the distster the men found no houses to extinguish—all had been reduced to wins. TUE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1868. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. THAMES. BRUTE4WELL PUNISHED.— Daniel Davies and Owen Freely, seamen, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with committing violent assaults on two unfortunate women named Sarah Clark and Eliza Allen. The case against Davies, a Welshman, was first taken. He had been living with Clarke since he had returned from his last voyage, and had been paid off. In the course of a quarrel between them yesterday he swore he would kill her. He knocked her down, and while she was down kicked her on the mouth. Some of her teeth were loosened, and her mouth was frightfully cut. A police sergeant named William Newman said the woman was in an exhausted state and bleeding profusely when he took the prisoner into custody. In defence, the prisoner said his " gal" pro voked him, and that he was drunk. Mr Paget said that the prisoner had acted with great brutality towards the unfortunate woman, and that he must be taught, and every other man who kept such company must also be taught, that females who adopted such a wretched pro fession were objects of pity, not of savageness, and that they were under the protection of the law. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for three months and kept to hard labour. The case against Owen Freely or Phely was next gone into. The complainant Allen lives in that notorious place, Brunswick-street, better known as Tiger Bay, St. George-in-the-East. The prisoner met her in Graces-alley, Wellclose-square, near the Well street Sailors' Home. He made some overtures to her and wanted to go home with her. She rejected his offers, and he abused her in a gross manner and beat her savagely on the face with his fists, accompanying his violence with brutal language. She was rendered insensible. Her eyes were blackened and her face contused. Several witnesses deposed to the violent character of the assault. The prisoner stood up to the woman like a pugilist, and struck her over the eyes with his clenched fists. Mr. Paget said this was also a case which must be punished with severity. The miserable women on the streets were not to be murdered by ruffians, or beaten with impunity. If such characters as complainant acted in a disorderdly manner they were punished. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. present time, and such the brutal nature of assaults on the police, that he considered the case ought to be prosecuted by counsel. The prisoners were then committed for trial, bail being taken for their appearance. SHARE LIST. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

EXTENSIVE PLUNDER OF AN EMPLOYER.—Har fiet Bird, a woman about 30 years old, was placed at the bar charged with plundering Mr.Wooluee stane, a gentleman residing in Belgrates-road, of property to a considerable amount. Prosecutor stated that in the middle of August last he went out of town, leaving the prisoner in consequence of a letter country informing him that charge r e a ein g o f h i ts house. in the In his house was being robbed, he came to town the day before yesterday, when the prisoner ad mitted her guilt and gave him up thirteen pawn brokers' duplicates relating to the things. Six or seven lots of valuable linen were produced from Mr. Howgnad's, pawnbroker, Vauxhall bridge-road, pledged by the prisoner in her own name, although the linen bad the prosecutor's initials on it. The assistant admitted he had been content with the prisoner saying it was her own, and had made no inquiry. Mr. Self e animadverted strongly upon the facility afforded to plunder by such a mode of transacting business, and sent for the principal, who said it was his wish his business should be conducted carefully. A quantity of other property was produced from Lloyd's, pawnbroker, Strutton-grobnd, which pro duced some animadversion. Prisoner was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULTS ON TILE POLICE.—John Leekie and John Reid, cabinet-makers, the latter having his head bandaged, were charged before Mr. Knox as follows : Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the de fence. Police-constable Henry Page, 168 E, one of whose eyes was completely closed, and whose face bore marks of severe ill usage, said that about a quarter past one that morning he saw the prisoners and another man not in custody outside a public-house in Warren-street, Fitzroy-square. The men were quarrelling and making a great noise, and Leekie gave him a blow on the head which knocked him down on the road, and while a woman held him down the prisoners and the man struck and kicked him. He got up and had a struggle with the prisoners, and all fell together, Leekie then struck him several violent blows in the eyes 'with his fist, and said, " Let and pushed down and sprang his rattle, usandkill m the a outright." He then got up Reidot custody then went away with the woman. Before any ass i s t ance came the prison ers then beat and kicked him, and on a constable of the S division coming up, Leekie assaulted him by striking and kicking him. By that time he (witness) was insensible, and on the ground, and when he got up he saw Reid being taken to the station by the constable of the S division. Reed went quietly to the station, but Leekie gave them a terrible job. . _ In answer to the Court the constable said he had taken out the staff but did not use it, being afraid to do so in case the prisoners should take it from him, and he therefore put it back. He was now on the sick list, in consequence of the injuries he had received. Mr. Knox said he should think so. In answer to Mr. Sayer, the constable said the prisoners and the other man were quarrelling, and two of them wanted to fight, and all he did was to try to get them away. Reid's head was hurt in falling. Police-constable Thomas Walton, 146 S, proved going to the assistance of the last witness in consequence of being told by a person that a brother officer was being murdered. He found the last witness on the ground, and he saw Leekie kick him, and Leekie then turned upon him (witness) and kicked him, and it was with the greatest diffi culty they got Leekie to the station, and while there Leekie several times tried to kick him. Thomas Troy, 179 E, proved that on going to the assistance of the officer, Reid seized him by the throat and struck and kicked him. Henry Attree, 57, Cumberland-market, gave similar evidence to the police, and said that he aasisted them as much as be could, and never wit nessed a scene of greater brutality in his life. Mr. Sayer, for the defence, said that he was in structed by the prisoners that they had been to a public-house, and were in such a state that they did not really know what occurred. Mr. Sayer then called John Coney, a bootmaker, of Warren-street, who proved seeing Police-con stable Page fighting with both prisoners, and saw Page strike Reid hard with his truncheon. They continued fighting, and then the constable took out it he struck Leekie g woman do anything, w hi i s th ra i t t t . le, H an e d di a d ft n e o r t sp se ri e n t gi h n e and it was some minutes before the constable called for assistance, as be kept on fighting. Some minutes after a constable came up and took Reid. He did not hear the expression made use of, " Let us kill the ---- outright." He went to the police station, and there a constable (he believed 146) punched Leekie in the back. Witness and two others went into the station, and while he (witness) was speaking to two young men, 183 E touched him on the shoulder to go out, and he could not get in again. Mr. Priestley, pianoforte maker, of Edward street, Hampstead-road, gave the prisoners very good characters, and said that during the time he had employed them he never heard them quarrel. Mr. Knox said that a magistrate was a totally unfit tribunal to try such a charge. The charge was one of an outrageous assault on the police, and then there was the evidence on the other side of Mr. Coney, Such was the Auto of the town at the COUR2 OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a meeting of the Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall for the despatch of business, the Lord Mayor presiding. On the mo tion of Mr. Lintott the replies of their Royal High nesses the Prince and Princess of Wales to the ad dress of congratulation of the Corporation on the birth of a Princess were ordered to be entered on the journals of the court. It was reported by the Town Clerk (Mr. Woodthorpe) that the American Government had presented to the Corporation a handsome volume by Mr. Frederick Seward, en titled " Tributes of the Nations to Abraham Lin coln." The Court unanimously accepted the gift, and the Town Clerk was directed to express, in a suitable reply, their sincere thanks for the same. The book will be deposited in the Guild hall Library. A letter was read from Mr. It. W. G. Herbert, of the Board of Trade, in forming the Court that, under the provisions of the new City of London Gas Act, the Board had appointed Dr. Letheby chief gas examiner ; Messrs. J. F. Evans, J. H. Paterson, and S. Pearce gas referees ; and Mr. C. Parker, auditor of ac counts. On the motion of Mr. De Jersey the letter was referred to the Special Gas Committee for con sideration and report, Mr. Dresser-Rogers com menting on the appointment of Mr. Evans, the engineer of the Chartered Gas Company, who, he said, could hardly be called in the words of the Act an " impartial person." The City Solicitor (Mr. T. J.. Nelson) reported that Mr. Kerr, the Judge of the City of London Court, had, without previously applying to the Common Council, and in violation of the 39th Standing Order, appointed a Deputy Registrar of the court. The person appointed was a solicitor, and he had been once a bankrupt, twice an insolvent debtor, and had once exe cuted an arrangement under the Act. He had also been excluded, by a special resolution, from the Incorporated Law Society in February, 1864. The Judge had been twice absent from his duties, and the right of appointment of his deputy was in the hands of the Common Council. He, however, took the matter into his own hands, and appointed Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Gilmore to act as his deputies. On the motion of Mr. Ridley the re port of the city solicitor was referred to the Officers and Clerks Committee. On the proposition of Mr. M'George it was referred to the General Purposes Committee to inquire into and consider the position of the Corporation in reference to the Royal Hos pitals, the present mode of appointing Corporation Governors, and whether in future it would not be expedient that the nomination should be made by the Court, and the election be only for a limited period. Mr. Lowman Taylor moved, and Mr. R. P. Taylor seconded, a motion to the effect that as it was desirable that the street on the northern side of the Metropolitan Meat and Poultry Market should be continued through Charterhouse-square to Aldersgate-street, it be referred to the Markets Improvement Committee to take the necessary steps to effect that object, with power to ne gotiate with the authorities of the Charterhouse and the railway companies. Mr. Lowman Taylor said if the motion were carried it would effect a great public improvement, and there was reason to believe that, by an arrangement with the Charter house, it would be carried out at very little cost. The motion was adopted unanimously. Mr. Deputy Fry brought up a report from the Special Reception Committee, detailing their proceedings in connec tion with the visit of his Imperial Majesty the Sul tan, to the City, and recommending that a suitable medal be provided to commemorate the event. He said he had reason to believe that the arrangements made to receive his Majesty met with universal ap proval, and the event would always be a most in teresting one to the corporation. Such a distin guished company had never before been assembled in the Guildhall, and the committee had thought that the members of that Court should have some memorial of the occasion. The cost of the medals commemorating the visit of the Emperor and Em press of the French was £613, that of the King of Sardinia £570, and that of the entry of the Princess of Wales £526. The report was ad Jpted, and referred back for execution, as was also that of the Improvement Committee, recommending the Corporation to apply next session for an Act in re ference to the usage of subways. The Court de clined to entertain a petition of the Board of Works for the Limehouse district, praying that in the event of the removal of Billingsgate Market the Corporation would apply for an Act of Parliament to establish a fish market at Shadwell. Mr. R. N. Philipps brought up a report of the Law and Par liamentary Committee, of which he is chairman, re lating to felons' goods and the jewel robberies in Cornhill and Threadneedle-street. It stated that on the 24th of October, 1867, a petition of Mr. John Walker, of 68, Cornhill, was referred to the committee, praying that the Court would supple ment the grant of £5O by the further sum of £lB9 15s. 6d., making a total of £239 15s. 6d., being the proceed of the sale of the goods belonging to him, and taken from the prisoners convicted of the burglary at his shop. The committee heard Mr. Walker and also Mr. Superintendent Durkin andluspectorßrennan as to the circumstances of the robbery. On the 28th of November they had re ferred to them a petition of Mr. William Johnson, of 54, Threadneedle-street, praying the court to supplement the grant of £5O by an order for the delivery to him of such further sums, being the proceeds of the sale of property forfeited by certain prisoners convicted of burglary, as might appear just and reasonable, and then retained by the she riffs as felons' goods. On Dec. 16 the committee received a letter from Messrs. Mullens, solicitors to Messrs. Baum and Son, bullion dealers, requesting that an opportunity might be given to them of being heard before them, and alleging that the whole of the money taken from the felons referred to was the proceeds of the robbery at Messrs. Baum's pre mises. On the 7th of June last a report was brought up from the committee in relation to those applications, and agreed to by the Common Council. The committee further proceeded to the discussion of felons' goods, and instructed the City Solicitor to prepare a case and take the opinion of the Recorder and the Common Sergeant upon the question. The question on which they gave their decision was whether, under the present circumstances, the Court of Common Council had now the power to deal with the proceeds of the forfeited goods in ques tion, and in what way. The decision was as fol lows :—" Felons' goods are clearly vested by char ter in the corporation of London, and the usage which has prevailed for a long course of years to allow the sheriffs to appropriate them not having been unbroken and uniform, but subject from time to time to orders of the Common Council, we ate of opinion that the Sheriffs have never acquired an absolute right to such goods. The report of the committee, however, in respect to the funds now in question, confirmed by the court and afterwards acted upon, might raise a serious doubt as to whether the Corporation has not in this case, by orders already made, exhausted its authority over these moneys ; but, on the whole, we are inclined to think that in strict law it is still competent for them to make a further order, if they deem it expedient, under the circumstances." After that decision the committee thought it unde sirable to proceed with further inquiries, except on fresh instructions from the Court. In the result the Court yesterday declined to give those instruc tions, and the reference to the committee was there fore discharged. The Court, after granting £lO5 to St. Mark's Hospital, adjourned. IMPORTANT TO Junons.—At the Sheriffs' Court, yesterday, one of the jurymen, when about to be sworn, objected on the ground that he was above age. Mr. Un der-Sheriff Burcholl explained to him, and the public at the same time, that during the month of September all persons could inspect the lists, and if they had any ground of exemption could be removed by the overseers, and if they neglected then they could appeal to the sessions. Whilst the names were on the list they were bound to serve. He would, however, excuse his attendance. The juror said his second objection was to the word "next," instead of "instant," in the summons, and the Under- Sheriff 'laid it was a trappareiat error.

TILE ADDISON CLUB.—The members of this club spent a most enjoyable evening ou Saturday last, when one of their number, J. A. Hughes, Esq., entertained them, with a pleasant discursive story of colonial life. Tho paper was entitled "A Summer Voyage from Nova Scotia to Now York," but the title hardly gave a correct notion of the contents, which only embraced a record of the inci dents of a sojourn on Prince Edward's Island, and the arrival of the Asa Fish at New Brunswick, on which the author embarked for New York. It was understood that the paper was in two parts, and we hope t• be present at the reading of the concluding portion. THE CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST A LIFE GUARDSMAN.-011 Wednesday, Richard Robins, a trooper in the Ist Life Guards, was brought up on remand before the magistrates at the Town Hall, Northampton, charged with the murder of Eliza Shield. The deceased had been on intimate terms with the prisoner, and was enciente by him. At a little before two on Sunday morning, the 6th inst., they were seen talking together, and shortly after wards screams were heard by the riverside. A man named Gurley saw the poor girl struggling in the water, but he appears to have made no effort to save her beyond send ing for a policeman, and by the time she was got out she was dead. Evidence was given on Wednesday that en tirely exculpated Robins, clearly proving that the de ceased had committed suicide. She had recently been frequently heard to declare that she would destroy her self, and on the 12th of July she wrote to the prisoner to the effect that " if he as well as her friends turned against her she would soon leave this world of misery and trouble." It was also proved that Robins was in bed at tho time of her death, and the magistrates eventually ordered the prisoner to be discharged. The paraffin accident on the Queenstown Direct Railway is described at length in the latest editions of the Cork papers :—The Reporter says :—" The injured men, whose names are Buckley, Hayes, and Sullivan, were employed as lodgemen on the line. They are unmarried, and were from the neighbour hood of Carriglowhill, Glanmire, and Cork. They were at work on timber piles, and for the purpose, it being then a dark night, were provided with large tin lamps, which they were in the act of replenish ing from a large cask of naphtha, containing about 36 gallons, which was partly open, when a spark from a torch carried by one of them flew into the barrel and caused the explosion. The naphtha blazed up in an instant, and enveloped the unfor tunate men in a sheet of flame before they had time to retreat. They attempted to run away, but were so burned and stunned that they fell down before they had proceeded many steps. Mr. O'Regan, the station-master, came out, and seeing Hayes with his clothes still burning near the lines opposite the platform, brought out a pitcher of water and threw it over him for the purpose of extinguishing the flames. The two other men were lying near the finger-post. The station-master, with the assistance of one of the porters, succeeded in bringing them into the waiting-room, and with all haste telegraphed to Mr. M'Ardle, the station master at Queenstown, who sent down Dr. Brick nell. Upon examination they were found to have been most severely burnt all over the front of the body, the skin being almost completely burned off the hands and the hair singed. The priests were sent for, and remained with them until morning. Mr. Collard, district superin tendent, and Mr. Fennessy, traffic superinten dent, arrived by the twelve o'clock train from Cork. Dr. Tanner and Dr. Townsend were also called in, and the medical gentlemen and those left in charge have been most attentive to the unfortunate suf ferers, whose condition was so critical that it was not deemed advisable to permit them to be con veyed to the hospital ; indeed, very little hope is entertained of their recovery. They are at present lying in the waiting-room and one of the station master's apartments. The barrel stood three or four yards from the platform, and so large must bave been the flame from the ignited oil that about 15 large baulks of timber which lay near it were all scorched from one end to the other. It appears to us to have been au incautious thing to have placed a large barrel containing a quantity of explosive stuff, partly open, and thereby more likely to catch fire, in such close proximity to a station-house, which was at the time inhabited, and near which men were at work. We do not mean to attach blame to any particular parties. The deplorable occurrence was certainly mainly attributable to the incautiousness of the man who held the torch, who must have gone too near the barrel, or, perhaps, stood with his back to the wind, so that the torch was blown towards the aperture." 98 3 104
