TIIE REGISTRATIONS.

HERTFORDSHIRE.

The revision of the register for this county closed
at Hatfield on Tuesday.
John Ws on, who bad claimed in the Welwyn list, had
described his qualification ae " veterinary surgeon."
' Mr. Boxxxste applied to have the description amended,
and called Mr. Wynn to explain the mistake, and to prove
that he was the owner of a freehold house at Welwyn.
Mr. MANNING objected to the correction, and contended
that the claim was bad in law, and could not be supported.
The Barrister said it was very careless of Mr. Wynn to
send in such a claim ; but as he had attended to prove his
qualification, he should allow the claim to be amended :
The following is the result of the day's revision :
Liberal gain on claims ll
Ditto on objections
Tory gain on claims ll
Ditto on objections
At the rising of the court, Mr. BOSTIM said he weld not
allow the proceedings to close without expressing his Wigs-
ton to the court for the great kindness and courtesy with
which the proceedings throughout the circuit had hem con-
ducted, a feeling in which he wits quite sure every n
who had transacted business with the court must pate.
Mr. Masts:a:to sold there could be but one opinion upon
the subject, and he quite agreed with what Mr. Bontems
had said.
The Barrister declared himself pleased with the way in
which the business had been conducted, anal with the good
feeling which had prevailed throughout the revisit*,

county :
