ileiitst and Mr. Doggett knew from their personal
knowledge that Mr. Whitlock held a lease direct from the
late Lmd Holland, and were prepared to testify upon oath
as to its value.

But the barrister, after some discussion, decided that as
the claimant wss not present the name should be ex-
PVIr ed.
ounford, on the part of Mr. Whitlock, protested
against this decision, and intimated his intention of appeal-
tog against it. It appeared as if the duty of the barrister
was, not to revise the list of voters, but to deprive men of
their votes. Neat year the cue would be found to be
widely different, for already • registration society bad been
formed for that district of the metropolis. It was an act of
great injustice that Mr. 'initial's name ahould be ob-
jected to ; that gentleman had attended on the first day at
Hammersmith, and because it did not suit the convenience
of the court to go Into his case then' and h. could not at-
tend to-day, he wax disfranchised. He (Mr. Mulford) and
some others had been similarly treated ; why be knew not,
unless it was that they had bought • piece of land for
1,0001., upon which they bad paid rates and redeemed the
land tax. He celled up in the court to reconsider this case,
but the barrister refused, as he had already expunged the
sums. _ _

On Thursday the revision fur the parishes of Hampstead,
Horneey, and Willesden, took place at Jack Straw's Castle,
Hampstead-hill.
The Revising Barrister opened his court at 10 o'clock,
and proceeded at ones to revise the lists.
Mr. A. Jones, who had taken 138 objections to the claims
of members of the National Freehold Land Society to be
placed on the register for plots of freehold land which they
had pure-hued from the society in the parish of St. Mary's,
Hornsey, now sought to sustain those objections.
Mr. Sidney Smith, with whom was Mr. Ledger, sup-
ported the claimants, and called Mr. Thomas Russell,
solicitor, to prove the value of the respective allotments.
A long argument ensued, in which Mr. Smith, by a parity
of reasoning in reference to the real or assumed value of all
other kinds of property, endeavoured to establish the value
of the plots of land purehued by the claimants.
The Revising Barrister having laid down a rule, that In
no case would he retain the name of the claimant on the list
wherein it was not clearly shown that 501. clear of cost of
conveyance had been given for the allotments, the names of
all parties, with one exception, were expunged, who were
unable to show that they came within that rule. The ex-
ception was that of a claimant who had paid up all charges
within 4e. of the 601._

Mr. Smith succeeded in sustaining 47 claims of the num-
ber objected to.
Joseph Turner, greengrocer and salesman, Store-street,
Bedford square, appeared in support of his claim in respect
of an allotment under the Freehold Land Society. He
stated that his land was in the parish of St. Mary, Hornsey,
and that he considered he was entitled to vote in virtue of it.
Examined by Me. Tones—The land had not been built
upon, but had NM emltivated by himself u an ordin

kaa might be realised, still it could not be

maimed hi head except a tuR of hair just above the

put in there in consequence my being rather sickly when
I went there.
Were you engaged as a keeper the firrt instance ? —Yes.
One day when I was passing by the hospital, I was looking
through the railings and I saw two patie.,ts and a keeper roll-
tag the grass with • roller, end I thought in my own mind that
one of those two men wished to get out. Isa • him look
after the keeper. I waited a few minutes and he let gee the
roller, end the keeper took it and went on a-head with the
roller with the other man on his tight hand. The patient
stopped behind, and in a minute fie was over the railings
into St. George's-road. About a dozen men with several
carte selling ginger beer were by, but I saw no one attempt
to stop him and I went and stopped him, and I took him in
through the occupation gate into the limpital, where I met
the keeper, and he took him into the hospital. lie had ran
through the building to meet me at the back of the build-
-6e did not jump over the railings. I came away and I
left the man with this man at the occupation gate, and he
mama down to the gate and gave me twopence for taking
Ike man. 1 was then not in a situation of omstancy,
sal I applied for a situation. I went and saw Doctor
Wood, and on account of my not being in a very good
state of health, he genre me a week, and on the Saturday
following, the 9th of August, I entered on my du•ics there.
During the time I was there, I have seen several things
that I intimated to one that I thought not corrcet and
proper: and there were tales told by sonic of the keepers to
Doctor Wood, and when my time was up at two months'
time, he said that several of the keepers could not speak
well of me, but that I should have another month, and that
he should watch me narrowly, and if he saw that I was fit
to be made a keeper he would keep me on. At this time
there was a man very bad, of the name of Hewes, and I had
repeatedly been called for to go down into the back °mo-
ment where the dirty patients are, to assist this man to
dress, and this Hawes was then very bad, and I have seen
this practised they pull all the clothes off the patient, and
the keeper is there now, of the name of Thomas, who re-
sorted to the stocking, and put it round the man's neck,
and tied it like this (describing the same) in a noose, and
held him till the moo was very nearly s:rangled ; and I
spoke about it, and I think a man went and told the
keepers, and they told the doctor. They wished to get rid
of me, and I was ordered to leave.
What were the complaints which you had previously
made to Doctor Wood ?—I asked him, but he would not
give me any satisfaction ; I asked him the reasons why I
was not capable of filling the situation as well as those that
were there, and he said that the other keepers could not
speak well of me.
Do you know what reason they assi,,ne4 ?—Several times
when I was there (I was the junior officer), I have seen
things which were not right going on.
What sort of things 2—l have seen bottles of gin passed
through the windows, that were brought in by the brick-
layers labourers, who were putting in windows, and this
Dun jg particular, who is in the constant habit of using the
stocking, he was the man that seat for it, Thomas.
What is his Christian name?—Seth. He knew that I
knew of this gin being brought in. I had been a married
man, and I was over anzioua to be in ; and instead of being
late, I have gone at nine o'clock, when my night should
have been out, to sleep in, and they have thought that I
came in to watch their doings; and when I went in they
have been playing at cards and gambling in the lobby. I
took no notice of that ; and this man made a very bad re-
mark upon me, which was told me be the gardener. On
this Saturday the night man said, Is-that come in 2
I do not suppose he his got a bed to lie on, or he would not
come in here ; ' and on the following morning the gardener
told me what this man had stated. I spoke to the senior
keeper about it, and I said that I did not think it was right
for a puma to be spoken about in those terms, and that
Dr. Wood, or somebody, or he must try to stop it. He
asked this man about it, and he denied it ; and from that
time anything that !said, this man I verily believe has told
the doctor.
You stated that 7011 NM Thomas pat a stocking round
Mr. Hawse's neck ?—ln getting him out of the cell, or
putting him to bed,lllawes was very stubborn in all his deal-
, nags, ea a lunatic ; but I have got him myself without using
the stocking, and others too.
When you went into the cell in the morning, what took
place I—The first thing, on the opening of the cell in the
morning, be used to want to rash. out, and this man would
I
►:ad catch it round his threwt,
stbantsa:tdO itibouhynewhe:eithueuresutheriebei. toat.'t47:aMkin3yr,o.esstothepulair
whilst he held him witti t to s
otba. moos!. A few days after this a man canto :" from
the &rind Llnion, named Parkeneon, and he was vary had
indeed when he s'ecne in.

—Was it;.-Tre-ry- violent?—Not violent with madness, but
full of antics; and this man was very stubborn to be
dressed; and Thomas called me into the back to assist him
on account of his mate, as he was called, being away ; and
be had been so for several weeks ; and Mss atoekueg was
again pod rowed his neck, and he teas actually strangled;
sad I said, "You will strangle the man;" and be said,
" We newt do it to exhaust them, or we shoodd not be able to
dress Mon ;" and there were several labouring men who
warn working there, two bricklayets and a boy, who wars
looking through the windows at the time.
Was the stocking always need I—lt was used by hies;
and I belies* it has been the custom of others that lin
down in charge of the basement to use the stocking. Ann'
this maw was perfectly strangled, his eyes were starting out
of his head.
Now will you return to the cam of Mr. Hawes, and stater
what you know I—l thought the man was getting very low
in a mental state, and he could not eat ; and until that time.
they had resort to the pump. There was no attention that
I I saw paid to him, as regards the doctor or medicine ; but
whoa the keeper reported to the doctor that Mr. Hawes
could sot eat, then he used the stomach-injection, which he
fed him with about two days, twice a day; and he found it
consistent that he should not be fed twice • day, and then
he fed him only once • and very seldom he was fed at his
proper time, that is, at time that the patients generally
get their dinners. It was an hour or an hour and aha
before he had it. I have myself undone that man in the
chair, after he was tied down with two round towels, and
took him back to the dining-room, and waited fur twenty
minutes or half-an-hour for the doctor to come and feed
him, sad then I have undone him myself. On one occasion
I took him back, and then he had to be tied again to be fed,
became the doctor could not attend to him.
Upto the timewhen he bosoms so weak, and required the
stomach•puntp to be used, did you sea Thomas make use of
the stocking I—That was before the stomach-pump was
used, before he refused his victuals, because the reason, as
I understood it, why he refused was, that his neck was so
sore. On ono occasion I caught hold of his cost, to
fetch him In out of the yard, and he put his hand up to his
throat.

How often did Thou use the stocking to Mr. Hawes?—
About twice to Mr. Hawes and once to Parketwon.
It was some time before Mr. Hawes refused his food that
Thomas used the stocking?—Yes, it sus.
Da:posses any bad consequences result frost using the
etockingt—l saw his neck like in reins, very mated like as
'fit was contracted with sonsething ; it looked all bloodshot
Inside Me neck, and At always bad his hands lip to his
neck.

Was that owing to the use of the stocking ?—I should say
it wee, because before, when he bad been there only a few
days, I found that he took his victuals very well, and after
he had been there some time he would not ; and, as I un-
derstand, after he left, be took food the first day he went
home; he took a knife and fork in his hand, aced ate the
best part of • sole.
The patients you had the care of were clean patients,
were they not ?—The bettermost patients of the lower base-
ment; occasionally I used to go to assist, when I was re-
quired, in the back.
In what employment are you now ?—None; I have been
in none since. 1 went up on the Friday, the day I left,
to the committee, to state these things, and I was not
allowed to be heard. I was ordered out of the room, and
I was told that if I did not go, 1 should be put out; and I
found out what constituted that commi•tee was one person,
the treasurer, Mr. ;Johnson; he was the only person that
formed the committee. I did not feel very well satisfied that
' the doctor gave his decision against me, and I went to him,
and asked him to inform me who gave him these false re.
ports against me, and to bring them face to face, and he
told me that I had spoken disrespectfully at the bark.
You went to Dr. Wood and requested permission to go
before the committee ?—Yes, I went to him on the Tuesday
and he told me that I should have to leave in a week.
' Did he assign any particular reason for that ?—lle said
that he thought the situation did not suit me.
There was no charge of misconduct?—None whatever;
sad he said that he would give me a good character.
Did he give you a written character ?—No, none at all;
I asked him for any. I went to the committee on
the following Friday ; I was ushered in by the porter, and
Mr. Johnson was in the chair. He asked me what I had to
say, and I told him; and he std, " You can go out, and if
you do not go out we will put you out." I then went to
Dr. Wood.
Will you proceed with your account about Mr. Hawes ?
After several days, he could not take hie food, and he was
fed by this injection-pipe every day, and no other food was
ever administered to him that I ever saw. On the visiting
day his friends came to see him, and I believe they were not
allowed to see him ; the rule is that no ono an ace a patient
who has been 'Omitted until he has been there a month,
but, on account of the patient being so very bad, I believe
Dr. Wood gave them permission to see him. His two
brothers came tome him, and as soon as they saw him, and
the>tate be was in, they immediately went off and fetched
their bondsman, and he particularly wished to take this
man out. I never saw any medicine administered to him,
and I did not see any particular attention shown towards
him.

You sow food admiaistered to him, did you not ?—Yes,
through the pipe.

Theo, you say, he was takes away 7—Yes, by kis hoedo-
wns sad brother, to hie residence.
How lon dal M its after that 2—lle Beak two or three

Was any further inquiry made into the else?—! believe
there was by Dr. Wood, for the doctor sent hint down im-
mediately into the basement.
Atter, coo called before the board with reference to that
case ?—No, I was not.
lid you ever see the dirty patients washed in the morn-
ing 7—Yes ; these that arc very dirty. are taken away from
the cell into the bath-room, and it au at the option of this

Not by yon I—No, I wanted to state it on the Friday.
What was the manner and general conduct of the keepers
towards the petiolate, was it land or harsh I—As far as the
number of keepers that they allow in the establishment
gees, I should say that they are not so kind as if there
were more keepers to do the work there is act a sulkiest
number of keeper*, especially in the lower basement, to do
the work required, by the hospital authorities.
To attend to the patients properly I—Yee ; the general

went, and the keeper belonged to No. 4 gallery ; and Cap-
tain Studdy, a patient in there [I believe he bee gone out

this man; and Dr. Wood checked him it the ward where
there were about 120 patients, and said thee he knew very
well it was wrong to strike • patient, and it was stated in

times with his fist.

mitten upon these subjects of complaint 2—No, I have not.
I have seen, on several occasions, men who were equally se
bad aa Hewes, who have been treated in a different way.
They have been put into a warm bath for an hour, and
after an hour they have stood him up, and they have got a
vitta percha tube that eomes from a waterfall over the
bath, and the man stood in this way (describing the same),
and the water war poured ou the back part of his bead for
tea minutes; and on the following morning that man had
eema to ilill senses as much as some people would in a month.
He was perfectly collected, and be asked how cone they to
put him in there. There waa soother instance of a man
la No. 2 gallery, end he was treated in the same way, and

pint of beer at eleven o'clock, and eat his dinner.
