REOISTRATIONS.--(THIS DAT.)

CITY Or LONDON.
The revision of the lists of voters for the City of
London was resumed this morning in the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, Ouildhall.
The liberals were represented by Mr. Sidnmith and
Mr. Ledger, and the xasservatives by Mr. T.E.T. Harper
and Mr. Belem. _ _ _ .

The case of Mr. Wooltorton, which involved • charge
of misrepresentation against that gentleman, was re-
opened shortly after the sitting of the court. It will be
remembered that ho claimed the franchise in respect of
premises in Skinner-street, which are required for the
purpose of the Holborn Valley improvements, but to
which he asserted ho bad the exclusive right of entry.
Mr. Harper having been informed that Mr. Wooltor-
ton's statement w:us untrue and that he had been ejected
by the corporation, requested the learned barrister to re-
open the case so that he might give evidence contradic-
tory of that supplied by the claimant. From the evidence
of Mr. Nelson, the City solicitor, and other facts,
which tcanspited this morning, it appeared that action of
ejmtment was taken by the Corporation against the occu-
piers of houses in Skinner-street, and that although notice
to quit was not served on Mr. Wooltorton personally, he
received intimation that his tenancy caused on the 11th
of June, and that he was required to leave. Ile
wrote to Mr. Brand, the City Comptroller, requesting a
few days' grace, and promising to give possession,
and the consequence was that no further legal
action was taken. Mr. Wooltorton, however, re-
mained in "on until August; and it was now
contended trarestahlere was a tenancy by sufferance,
which rendered his claim valid. The Revising Barrister
adopted this view of the case, and it was admitted that
the point in dispute had reference solely to a difference of
opinion as to personal rights, and dad not affect Mr.
W ooltortun's truthfulness.
