SOUIIH' LANCASHIRE REGISTRATION.

The Committee of the Conservative Registration
Association for South Lancashire have issued a report
from which we extract the following :—" The statement
put forth by the Radicals at the close of the court
showed a total gain to that party of 2,355 votes, irre-
spective
of the Oldham polling district, which was not
included in the return. This result was so much at
variance with the actual facts, as understood by your
committee, that it was determined not to publish any
return until a strict scrutiny had been made by the
various local agents. This has necessarily been a work
of time ; but the subscribers will not be dissatisfied
with the delay when they know that the committee are
now able to state, from guaranteed returns received
from the various district?, and made out on the strictest
principles, that the net gain to the Radical party, so far
from being 2,355, is only 479 votes. The following is
a copy of the return :

Deduct Conservative gain in the Two llundreds

Total Radical gain in the Two Hundreds 470
It will be seen that this loss arises wholly in the Hun-
dred of West Derby, there having been a Conservative
gain of 320 less a Radical gain of 96 in that of Salford.
This advantage of the Radicals is, however, wholly
attributable to their unceasing efforts to replace upon
the register such of their friends possessing good votes
as the Conservatives bad removed in 1859 ; and con-
sidering the immense number which were then struck
off, the committee are surprised that the exertions of
the Radicals have not been more successful than now
appears. It must also be borne in mind that the Con-
servative loss of 479 has to be deducted from the Con-
servative gain of 4,092 in 1859; and therefore, that
its effect, in the event of an election will not be appre-
ciable, and affords no ground for despondency as to the
fate of the present representatives for South Lancashire,
even in the somewhat improbable event of a contest."

We understand that the Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster has reinstated the name of Mr. Edmund
Thompson, late of Primrose, Clitheroe, bat now of this
city, in the commission of the peace for the county.--7
