Yestenlay Mr. Terrell, tbererising barrister,
opened hi. court at the Veetrr•hall, Paddington.
The appearance of political agents here was a novelty ;
Mr. Middleton represented the Conservatave Association,
and Mr. Henry dames the liberals.
The conservative party had mule 44 objections.
Janie. Herbert and George Kieg, two voter+, attended to
defend their votes against conservative objections.
The Berrister inquired if James Martin, the objector-
general, wan pelmet, and, on being answered in the negative,
he decided that as it was not shown that James Martin, of
9, Lieson-grove, whose name appeared to the objection, was
the James Martin whose name appeared in the register of
voters as an elector of the borough, the whole of the ob-
jection. made by him were invalid.
Herbert and King applied for costa.
The Revising Barrister add that when the whole of the
objections failed upon en informalit- he had a doubt an to
his power, but he would look carefully into the act of parlia-
Bement, and if be found be could he should certainly allow
the voters their coats.

A VOLUNTZ6R FIRE BRIO A PK. —A good example
has just been set by the city of Coventry in the formation
of a volunteer fire brigade, which consists of about sixty
gentlemen residing in the city, many of whom are members
of the Volunteer Rife Corp. They have placed themselves.
under the command of Mr. Thomas Skenner, the chief con-
stable, who has hail much experience in Liverpool in eon-
110Ii0C1 with fires, and have elected six lieutenants, an bo-
somy secretary, an honorary treasurer, and an acting coin.
amities of eight members. Each volunteer iv required. by
UN ends of regulations that have been agreed to, to provide
his own uniform, to meet for drill owe a month, and to pay
a small subecriptiou monthly towards the expense of the
movement. The idea of forming a volunteer fire brigade
arose from the fact that the police, who had hitherto arts!
also as the tire brigade. had found the extra duty and the
continual drill which it was necessary to undergo in order to
be irfliciatit. to interfere very much with the performance of
their regular duties. The volunteers were called out to
their first fire last week, and as the horses were not ready,
they dragged the engine after them to the nesse of action.
On their arrival there they at once set to work with all the
coolness and readiness of practised firemen, and very soon
got the mastery of the fames.
