TIIE REGISTRATIONS.

CITY OFLONDON.
The disputed qualification of sub-tenants of the Temple
was discussed in the ease of Mr. Butterworth, who holds
one room from Mr. Hall. in 3, Paper-buildings, occupying
it as " clambers," Mr. Hall being a tenant.
Mr. Harper objerted on the ground of structural sever-
ance. and quoted the case of " Cooke and Humber" in
suppert of his argument.
Mr. Ledger denied that the issue involved rested on the
question of severance, adding that it was a matter of sub-
tenure y.
Mr. Harper said Mr. Butterworth's qualification was
stated to be " chambers.- There was no such quolifbm-
lion mentioned in the Reform Act. and he contended that
it should be brought under the head of '• house," " count-
ing-house," •. shop," &c.
The Revising Banister-Or building ejusdem generic.
Mr. Harter, in continuation. argued that as a barrider
could not recover his fees, he could, not be said to have a
place of business, and could therefore only qualify in re-
eft of a residence; and that a residence might be a
pace where a man dil riot sleep, and which he used only
as a place of business.
Mr. Smith said that a place where a man did not reside
could not be called a residence.
The Revising Barrister took it for granted that in this
case the claimant had complete control over the outer
door, and could come in and out when he wished. He
would decide that "chambers" came under one or other
of the qualifications mentioned in the act.
Mr. Harper then opposed ou the ground that Mr.
Butterworth's chambers were not structually severed, and
that they were a whole and complete building. He also
contended that this was not a proper tenement, and that
Mr. Butterworth had no outer door.
After some further discussion,
The Revising Banister observed that he did nut cos
bow one could lay down the line after what the judges
had said. If a man bad a separate room which was cut oR
from other,., and that that room had a door over which
he could exercise exclusive control, that opened into a
}usage through which he could go into the street, it
seemed to him perfectly immaterial what number of doors
there were if he could always go in and out; and there-
fore he held that this was p° far severed from the rest as
properly to constitute a tenement.
The claim was then allowed.

MARTLEBONE.
The adjourned revision court for the borough
of Marvlebone was resumed yesterday bM .T
y r.. N. Goren,
at the St. Pancras Vestry-hall
The registration of this borough will ran closer to the
lattst moment than was anticipated. The list for the
rari,h of Marylebone, which should have been closed on
Wedneeday might, still remains open, and the court will
have to sit next Tuesday to conclude it; and it is very
probable that there will also be • sitting fur St. Pancras
in next week. At the court yesterday, which was con.
tinued till a late hour in the evening, there was • great
lack of interest, the amen of claims being struck out ever
rewiring with monotonous similarity.

Ma. GLADirroliz AND Tim DERBYRRIRE BLEC-
Tiows.—On Monday evening a public meeting was held
at Ilkeston, when a lecture was delivered by the Rev. W.
Mitchell on the Irish church, iu reply to one given on the
previous Tuesday evening by Mr. Brewin Grant. The
secretary of the liberal committee, Mr. Wright Lissett,
read a letter he had received from Mr. Gladstone, in reply
to one addreased te him on the subject of Mr. Grant's
lecture. The letter was m follows Rawarden, North
Wales, Sept. 27, 1868. Sir,-1 feel a cordial interest in
your Dtehyshire elections, alike on account of your
candidates, of the abusive attacks which have
been made on that wise and excellent man the
Duke of Devonshire, and of the revolutionary doc-
trinist concerning property which appear to have been
Mforth, under comervative auspices, in your quarter.
Mr. Brewin Grant requires no reply from me, nor (I
should think) much from any one, for I sae he vehemently
condemns me because I refressl outright to vote for Mr.
Aytoun's motion. That was a motion which pledged the
legislature to give nothing to Roman catholic-s, but left it
free to give to Unitarians, Jews, Mahometans, and
Mormons. Mr. Brewin Want seems to think differently
from the thousands of his brethren who have cheered me
on by their approval. As he leis, no doubt, a respeA for
minorities, I recemnieud to him and to you the excellent
else ee of the Bishop lit Fredericton, in New Drunivriek,
who hue been die....etablikhed., and says, '1 world not wish
it otlo•rwi.e.' There, too, ho deeerihow the Homan
epithelia as the most nemerous body of Chiiiitians. --I
remain, W. E. GeauvrowE."

Print marched from Cartbagena to join Marshal
