REGISTILITIONS.-(THIS DAT.)

CITY OF LONDON.
The revision of the lists of voters for the city of Lawton
wee resumed 'hie morning before Mr. Spencer Perceval,
in the Omit of Common Pleas, Guildhall.
The liberals were represented as before by Mr. Sydney
Smith and Mr. Ledger; and the eouaervatives by Mr. T.
L. Harper.
Mr. Robert Parkinson, of the firm of Parkinson and
Bouts, Gracechurch-street, was objected to by the
liberals on the ground that the name on the rate book
was "John Parkinson," and that as " Robert " and
"Henry" were the names connected with the firm,
"John." could not be said to be a misnomer for the two.
Mr. Harper argued that the case was one of misnomer,
which could be remedied. " John " was a misnomer for
Mr. Bouts's partner or partners.
Mr. Ledger said the names on the rate book were
"John Parkinson and David Bouts,." and he contended
that the act of parliament did not cure the defect, inas-
much as the rating of one person wrongly could not be
cad to be a misnomer for two.
Mr. Harper said the insertion of •• John" was a mistake
on the part of the overseer.
The Revising Barrister adopted Mr. Ledger's view, and
disallcwed the c:aini, subject to appeal.

MARTLEBONE.
The revision court for the borough of Maryle-
bone was resumed this morning at the kLarylebone Court
House by Mr. J. N. Goren. Mr. Parson represented the
come: vetive interest generally, and Mr. Leonard W.
Friswell, Secretary of the Merylebone Constitutional
Union, was present. Mr. &mama appeared in the
libels] interest generally, instructed by Mr. Harvey
Li win, M.P. ; and, blionN. Spencer and Edge appeared
for the reabtration of Libeiala on behalf of Dr. Sand-
with. Upon the opening of the court, the Barrister, re-
fetring to the interview he bad had with Mr. Justice
lisneim, in reference to the vast amount of work to be
done in the boroughs of Marylebone cud Finsbury, said,
that, as the result of that interview, Mr. T.
Chisholm Anstey would sit this day at Finsbury,
and ho (Mr. Goren) would thus be enabled to devote his
whole attention to Marylebone. (Hear, hear.)

IMPORTANT' PO I Nr.
A very important Point was raised as to when a man
aped to be a "lodger and became an " occupier.-
Bluck, a tailor, claimed for eight rooms at 14,
Jameso4reet, Oxford street.

The Reviving Barrister Noll that from the large numb9r
of forms stated a serious question was raised as to whether
the claimant might or might not occupy •• part of a houvo"
and be an " occupier," and not a lodger.
A state n:ent was made that the claimant occupied all
the houre except two rooms.
Mr. Barton asked if there were separate entrances.
The Devising Barrister said he did not think it entirely
depended on that. The interpretation clause provided
that a dwelling-house should include any part of a house
sated reyarately to the relief of the poor,
Ma argument was not concluded when our report left.)

to be on tire. There are two milk together, one occupiel

sequently two from Oldham. There being a very scanty
supply of water, the flums. Reread with great rapidity.
Scarcely had an hour claimed when both milk were com-
pletely gutted, and the roof fell in with a tremendous
crush. Thu mill occupied by Memel:. Swallow was ten
storeys wide, four high, awl six back; that part occupied
by Mtxsrs. Greaves and Whelley WWI eight storeys wide,
