MIDDLESEX.

The Revising Barrister, I.auncelot Shelley% Esq., held
his i ourt yesterday, at the Chattier Arm., Edgware, for the
revision of the lists of persona in the district claiming to
vote for candidates ambitious to represent the county in par-
liament. It was the last court but one of the present revi-
Fhe. The lists revised were those of Edgware, Finchley,
Great Stanmore, Little Stantnore; Harrow, Hendon, Kings-
bury and Pinner. The principal objections made throughout
the day were by the overseers, who caused several names to
be removed from the register, on the ground of death, and
some few on the ground that the parties had sold the pro-
perty from which they derived their qualitcatitm. The libe-
rals made very few objections, and the conservatives did not
make any. The liberals added a few votes to their strength
in this district ; otherwise, the Edgware polling hots may
be paid to remain on this revision almost in the same
state an to the strength of the two great political parties that
they were at the recent general election.
