MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.-(THIS DA Y.)

To-day Mr. James No..ton Goren, the barrister
appointed by the Lord Chief Justice to revise the list of
voters for knights of the shire for the county of Middle-
sex sat in the Lords Justice,' Coart, Westminster Hall,
for the purpose of revising the lists for Lincoln's-inn and
the several parishes and places within the city of West-
minster.

Mr. Gilbert, of 47, Parliament-street, attended the Teri.
sion court on behalf of the Liberal Registration Society.
Mr. T. Alley Jones, of Clifford's Inn, and Mr. J. Alley
Jones, of Chancery-lane, appeared for the conservatism.
The number of claims and objections is very small. As
if by common consent the fight in the registration courts
on this the last revision under the Reform Bill of 1832,
seems to have been postponed, and the respective agents
are as peaceably inclined as belligerents can be imagined to
be. Everthing bellicose is adjourned till the neat year,
when the fighting will be sharp enough under the enact-
ments of the Reform Bill of 1867.

Christian Henry Spindalow, of 44, Frith-street, in the
St. Anne's list for " freehold benefice," the 4th column con-
taining the words " sexton of the parish."
Mr. Gilbert called attention tots peculiarity.
_ .

The Barrister—The name is not obj;ted to.
Overseer—No.
Barrister—l suppose " freehold office" would do I c►n't
say as much for " freehold benefice." Is the churchyard
closed
Overseer—Yes.

Barrister—lf the name had been objected to. I must have
struck it oat. _ .

Mr. Gilbert—l only called attention to the case for the
sake of amusement. _ _ _ _

------..
Twenty-five names were expunged from the list of St.
Clement's Danes in consequence of the demolition of
houses for a site for the new P..laos of Justice.

The Rev. Richard Killick, of 7, New Boswell court, for
"freehold benefice," the 4th colun.n being filled up by the
words " the Rectory,"was objected to by the overseers. one
of whom (Mr. Peters) said this was done in consequence of
change of residence, on which point he could give evidence.
The Barrister said this was a peculiar case ; but he be-
lieved he had power to retain the name, on the evidence
being given.
Mr. Peters accordingly stated that the rev. gentleman
had removed to 26, Rusel-row, Kensington ; and
The Banister amended the abode.

Mr. Gilbert—lt would be better, Mr. Peters, to apply to
the harristerto amend the residence than to object, because
in the absence of evidence suchatausidou have now given,
rs qualified vote might be disfranchised.
The Barrister—l have been obliged to strike out many
names where the qualification is good, merely because ob-
jection is taken, and the new residence is not shown.

Mr. Peters—lha;el;eenZtinTil a course directed by
your predecessors.
For the precinct of Lincoln's•inn there was no objection,
no claim, and (the overseer added) no bill.
In two of the parishes, St. Margaret's and St. John's,
objections bad been made and duly published. but the
lists sent to the barrister by the clerk of the peace having
omitted the objections, the barrister held that he could
not take notice of them.

WEYFIILL HOY AM) CHEESE FAIR.—(In Satur-
day the hop mart was opened, and it soon became evident
that the barns were thinly supplied, and that the usual
custom of sending whole growths of hops to the fair was
this ye►r greatly depart.d from. Many samples represent-
ing the various classes of hops were on offer. There was,
as usual, a rush to the Farnham rows, and these choice
qualities were in great demand by country ale brewers.
For pale and bitter beer growers held out for such high
prices that very little business was transacted. Sussex.
hope sold more freely, and lower prices were accepted.
Kent., Worcester*, and country hops were also in geed re-
quest, and some wholesale transactions were made. In
the cheese fair the dairymen held out for such high prices
that business was limited. Good double sold at from We.
to mi. per cwt., and common sorts and skims at 48s. to
54,.. per ditto. There was a moder►te business among
horses.
