THE REGISTRATIONS.

LONDON.
LITZRYWIneII 'Laces or ADODIL
Yesterday, at the sitting of the court, Mr. T. Y.
111cChriatie, the Revising Barrister, made the following
obeetratior.s. We have now finished the revision of the
lists of the Livery, and before we proceed to the inhabitant
houeekolders' lists, I may make a very few observations on
what has traaapired. All that is required of a liserymaa
to entitle him to be registered* that he shall be a free-
man and liveryman of one of the compaaies, that he
shall have resided within seven miles of the polling-
plant fur the six months next preview!, to the last
day of July, and that his Christina same and
saroeme ant ibe Imeriptioa of his plots, of abeds, shall be

nssisal many avietious were taken to tie names of
bong sobbed on the lists, principally ea the
green' den the deenbelses given of their places of abode
area isserreet, or insufficient for identifies-
tioa twarilal=irit lle be quite impassible in some cases to
identify dotes* plume( abode by the deacriptioas given.
Yee kataaare, New Bridge street was the description given
of ere liveryman's place of abode, who had not resided
there fro the last seven years, but at some
locally described place at Ruda-hill. Au objection
was token to his name being retained in the list
on that ground. It was urged eosins, that I had no
power to expunge that name, even if the realer proper de.
ecription of the liveryman's abode could not have been sup-
plied to me, because, as was said, the qualification was not
attacked, but admitted to be sufficient. It was likewise
urged that although New Bridge-street was not the descrip-
tion of the voter's abode, yet that it was that of his place
of business, which ought to be considered seamiest. Now,
the place of his business is not required to be given; and
undoebteuly his abode is no part of s livery man's qualifica-
tion ; bat schedule C, No. 1, of 6 Vie., e 18. expreeely re-
quires that the description of his place of abode' shall be
stated, and the 40th see. of that act meets, that if' the place
of abode • • in the judgment of the revising barrister be
insufficiently described for the purpose of being identified,
such barrister shall expunge the name of every such person
from such list, unless the matter or matters so omitted, or
insufficiently described, be supplied to the satisfaction of
such baniner before he ahall have completed the revision
of such list, in which case he shall then and there insert
the same in such list.' The deseeiptions of the abodes of
the livery have hitherto been most inaccurately—or, at any
rate, insulticiently—given in the lists. Of course there
have been exceptions to that, but they have been compara-
tively few. This year, where objections have been taken,
and the proper descriptions supplied, I have corrected them.
Where the descriptions have been wholly inaccu-
rate, I have inserted the proper ones, when
I have been informed of them ' • and in those
eases I have not given ccets against the objector.
Where I hare thought the descriptions, though not per.
fectly correct, yet not so insufficient as to justify objections,
I have given cods, although I have in several of such
stances added to, or altered, the descriptions so as to make
them aecursee. I believe I have no power eerier the
statute either to Sae the clerks of the livery companies
or to order then to pay costs; and I am anxious that the

the fifth* place debacle should be given, sad

Lloyd, second Grecian, was considered by the examiners
very nearly equal in merit to that of the sucees-ful compe-
titor. Most of the other orations were clever compositions, but
that of Lloyd was, perhaps, delivered with the most spirit.
The English oratioo of Sweetitig, and the English poem of
Watt., contained elusions to the decease of the Duke of
Wellington, and wan well received. Tho hail, with nearly
• thousand scholars in the organ gallery, and perhapa 1,500
