THE. REGISTRATIONS.

LONDON.—At the sitting of the court yesterday'
Mr. Arnold said, on going over the list for the parish of lit.
Peter le Poor, he observed the name of a party with the
nature of the qualification and the description of property
similar to that of a Mr. Catherwood, whose name had bees
expunged. The name in question stood thus:—" Robert
Lewin Holt, Upper Norwood, country house; Old Bread.
street, being a successive occupation with 3, Crown-court."
Mr. Catherwood's description was " Country house, Warn-
-I.rd-court, in successive occupation with /So. 3," and it was
proved that he had removed from No. 3 to No. 1. He
thought that he hail the power to insert " No. 1" as the
qualifying property, and that the description " No. T' might
be commonly understood to mean No. 3, Warnford-court,
but as there was no description of the nature of the qualifi-
cation at No. 3, that was an omission which he could not
supply ; and thinking the case fell withiu the principle of
Bartlett and Gibbs, he expunged the name. In dealing with
Mr. Halt's case, he found it necessary to look at the powers
of alteration given by the 40th Section of the 6th Vieteria,
c. 18, and as no evidence was offered to supply the omission
of the nature of the qualification, or the description of the
property occupied by Mr. Holt at No. 3, Crown-court, he
was prepared at once to expunge the name. The section
was not brought under his notice in Mr. Cole rwooefs
case, but he was now satisfied that its peni.ions
applied to such a ease ; and that his former
decision was incorrect, and he was glad that he had an op-
portunity of reconsidering the case, as, otherwise, there
having been no notice of appeal in that ease, Mr. Cutherwood
would have been improperly expunged from the 11•1% Rav-
ing no douht that he might make the alteration before men-
tioued, the only question was, whether he could supply the
omission of tile nature of the qualification with r. gird to the
premiss occupied by him at 3, Warnford-court, namely,
" country house," nod inasmuch as the onsiseion was supplied
to hie satisfaction, he thought the mune ought to have been
retained, and should therefore re-insert it on the list, making
the necesoary &Aerations. In Mr. Holt's ease, if the matter
omitted should not be supplied, his name would be expunged.
The lists of the following parishn, iu Castle-Baynard ward
weie gone through in the course of the day :—St. Ann,
Illackfriant; St. Andrew, in the Wardrobe; St. Bose,
Paul's Wharf; St. Gregory, by St. Paul ; St. Mary Magda-
kn, Old Fish-street.
The result of the day's revision was Liberal objections
sustained, 13; failed or withdrawn, 77. Cowen-ake objec-
tions sustained, 58; failed, 46. Double of jectious sustained,
19; failed 1. Liberal claims sustained, 2 ; failed, 20,—ten
of which are subject to an appeal on the question or tender.
The c met at its rising adjourned until Thursday.
FAST SenttET.—The Court sat again yesterday
at the Venn Camberwell. No fewer than lift). claims
were sent in by members of the Licensed Victuallers'
Asylum in the Kent-road. They described their qualifica-
tion as freehold houses and land. The claims were objected
to by the overseen of l'amberwell, in which parish the
asylum is situated.—Mr. Russell said he was instructed to
support the claim made by these parties, but upon the con-
sideration he had been able to give to the question, he was
of opinion that the claims could nut be substantiated. 'iho
parties claiming to vote were toe members of an asylum
estahlishe l by the Licensed \'ictnaicrs for the reception of
decayed members of their body, and the whole of them had,
no doubt, contributed towards the expense of the building.
They were, however, subject to dismissal under certain cir-
cumstances, and it was questionable whether they possessed
such a freehold interest us would entitle them to a vote. lie
should, therefore, refrain from going further into the epics-
'tion on the present occasion, and consented to abandon all
the claims.—Mr. Shentan, one of the overseers, wished i 1 to
be understood that the claims had not been scat in with the
sanction of the authorities of the asylum.—Mr. Meymott
said he was instructed to oppose thee claims, but of course it
was now unnecessary for him to do S). lie, at the tome
time, observed that the parish had been put to a great deal of
expense in printing when the martin clearly had no quill-
Seat
list.
Lout.atwere The whole of the names then struck out from
the
PROVLNCIAL.—BatcIiroN.—The Court for the
review of the list of voters fur this borough was held
at the Town-hall on Monday. There were 65 claims,
58 of which were by the Liberals, and 7 by parties not
represented. Of the former, 27 were allowed. The
number of objections, which had been all made by the
' Liberals, was 48, of which 41 were sustained. The result of
the revision is to place the Liberals in a better position on
' the register by 71 votes than they would have been had they
' taken no steps to amend the overseers' lists.
CHELYENHASL—The revision of claims and objcc-
tior.s for this borough, took place on Wednesday and Thurs
day last, before W. 8. Kinnersley, Esq. The total number
' of objections were 531, of which 314 were by genre rvetives,
' who succeeded in getting 121 Liberal votes struck off. Of
217 objections to Conservative votes made by the latter
party 150 succeeded, so that they gain a majority of 29.
WINCIIESTER.—IIere also the Liberals are in a
majority; 13 Liberal votes haviug been gained by the borough
revision.
