THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.
The revision of the list of voters was resumed yester-
day morning at the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall.
In the list for the parish of St. Peter, Cornhill, the
name of Mr. James Walker Ready was objected to by I
the Conservatives.
The case was supported by Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr.
Ledger, and opposed by Mr. Brown.
From the statement of Mr. Ready it appeared that he
occupied a shop and cellar at No. 126, Bishopsgate-
street, but which was, in fact, only a divided portion of
the house No. 61, Cornhill, which was situated at the
corner of Bishopsgate-street and Cornhill. The entrance
to his premises was, however, entirely distinct from
Cornhill. Mr. Alderman Carter was the original holder
of the lease of the entire premises, but he held his por-
tion from other persons, to whom they had been sublet.
He carried on the business of a shell-fishmonger, for
which he paid a rent of 1301. per annum, and was rated
to the poor in respect of that occupation.
Mr. George Rawson, the collector of the poor-rates of
the parish, said that the premises in question were origi-
nally one house, and were rated to the poor as No. 61,
Cornhill. That included the portion of the house since
made into a separate occupation, but they still adhered
to the same Lumber of the house in their designation of
the whole premises. The Commissioners of Sewers
were the only persons who had the power to alter the
names of streets or the numbers of houses.
The REVISING BARRISTER was of opinion that such a
description should be given as would lead to an identifi-
cation of the property.
Mr. Brown said that was precisely the case, for the
voter was described as residing at 61, Cornhill, whereas
if any one sought him there they would not find him, or
in Cornhill at all, as there was no entrance to his pre-
mises from Cornhill.
The REVISING BARRISTER thought that it would an-
swer the purpose by describing him in the list as of 126,
Bishopsgate-street.
Mr. Sidney Smith submitted that if the description
was so altered that it would lead to difficulties hereafter.
Supposing that at some future time the house was again
put in its original form, and any arrears of rates might
be due from No. 126, Bishopsgate•street, they certainly
could not be demanded at No. 61, Cornhill.
This led to some further discussion, which terminated
in the objection being disallowed; and, as a new claim
had been sent in, the description was amended, the
abode of Mr. Ready being stated in the list to be at
" No. 61, Cornhill, or No. 126, Bishopsgate-street-
within."
Mr. Samuel Elliott Freuer, of No. 93, Wood•street,
Cheapsido, claimed to have his name inserted in the list
of voters for the parish of St. Alban, Wood-street.
The claim was supported by Mr. Sidney Smith and
opposed by Mr. Eaglesfield,
The claimant stated that he was in the service of
Messrs. Ward, Stuart, and Co., the wholesale hosiers of
Wood-street, as house steward, and occupied two rooms
on their premises. He resided in the house to look
after it, and after a certain hour had the entire control.
He locked the door, and no person could either go out
or come in without his knowledge and permission. Some
time since his duties were increased, to compensate him
for which he came to an understanding with his em-
ployers that he should reside in these rooms, and in the
event of a disagreement taking place between thorn, he
should have six months' notice given to him requiring him
to surrender possession of the premises.
Mr. Eaglesfield said the name of Mr. Freuer had been
struck off the list for the last six years.
Mr. Freuer said he voted for Baron Rothschild in
1847, but he had never since attended to support his
vote.
In answer to a question from Mr. Sidney Smith, he
stated that there were no domestic servants in the house,
and ❑o married person resided there but himself.
The REVISING BARRISTER allowed the claim, and in-
serted the name on the list.
'L.° other lists were then revised, but no feature or
point of interest arose, the business being confined to
erasing certain names either from death, removal, or
disqualification, and the admission of claims that were
not opposed.
The Court this day will take the lists of the parishes
comprised in the following wards and places:—Farring-
don Without, Langbourne, Lime-street, and Tower
wards, and the Inner and Middle Temple.

IN RE VOIILES.

BRISTOL, SEPT. 23.

attributed these deaths to decayed vegetable matter
kept on the premises; there is but one yard to this
and four other houses.
Three deaths were registered last week that oc-
curred in Highbury-vale, Islington, viz.:—Oa 10th
September, in Myrtle-street, the son of a butler, aged
one month, died of 4, atrophy from birth." " Tne
open sewer," says Mr. Butterfield, " is at the back of
the house." Oa the 12th September, at 2, Fort-
street, the son of an ironer, aged one year, scarlatina
Cr days). The open sewer is also at the back of this
house. On the 12th September, at College-place, the
son of an attorney's clerk, aged three years, " per-
tussis (2 months), convulsions (one hour)." The
registrar adds, " This place (Highbury•vale) is in a
hollow, bounded by the high ground of Highbury,
the aqueduct of the New River, and the embank-
ment of the Great Northern Railway. Not only is
its position unfavourable, but an open sewer runs
through it, at all times offensive, but particularly in
hot weather. Though some of the best houses in
Islington are in the immediate neighbourhood, there
is not sufficient local influence to cause this sewer to
be enclosed." _ _

Seven children died from want of breast-milk. Mr.
Faulkner, the registrar of the south sub-district of
St. Giles in-the Fields, says :—" Last week I regis-
tered two deaths of children produced by want of
breast-milk. In one of these cases the child was
placed out at nurse, and then deserted by the mother.
A third case was registered last month, and in this
instance the mother kept the child from birth with.
out its natural food, as she was obliged to resume her
occupation as a cook, and consequently it died on the
tenth day of its existence. Such facts are of too fre-
quent occurrence in my district."
Three deaths were registered as caused by car-
buncle; they are as follow :—At 2, Victoria-grove,
Paddington, on 11th September, a gardener, aged 48
years, " chronic gout and carbuncle of the back."
At 25, Tabernacle-row, Finsbury, on the 12th Sep-
tember, a baker, aged 27 years, "carbuncle of the
arm (one week)." At 40, Sophia-street, Poplar, on
13th September, the -wife of a painter, aged 55 years,
" morbus cordis (several years), carbuncle (three
months)." Four deaths were the result of intempe-
rate habits.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
LAMBETH.
Jonas Cannon, a chimney-sweeper, and one of the
most desperate ruffiaus in the metropolis, whose bruta-
lity has led to the death of one constable and to the
disabling for life of two others, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Elliott for further examination, on a charge
of making a murderous attack upon the person of
police•constable Michael Dwyer, 135 P, from the effects
of which the poor fellow remains in a very dangerous
state.

The prosecutor was unable to attend, but from the
evidence given before Mr. Elliott, who heard the case for
the first time, it appeared that on Wednesday week
Dwyer, a powerful young man, but well known as one
of the best-tempered and most kind-hearted constables
in the whole of the division to which he belonged,
while going the round of his beat found the prisoner
drunk in front of the Bricklayers' Arms publio-house,
Southampton-street, Camberwell, and annoying the
passers-by. On approaching him he observed that the
prisoner had a deep wound on th© back part of his
head, from which the blood was streaming, and, with
the utmost good nature, he placed his hand on the
prisoner's shoulder sad requested that he would accom-
pany him to the shop of the next surgeon to
have his wound dressed. The prisoner at once con-
sented to do so, and walked quietly for about a dozen
yards alongside of Dwyer, when, with the quickness of
lightning, ho bobbed down, caught him by the small
part of his legs, and, being a most powerful fellow, felled
the poor constable in a manner which, being perfectly
unexpected, shook his frame from head to foot. He
then jumped upon his victim, and commenced kicking
him on all parts of the body, and before assistance
arrived the unfortunate constable was reduced to a state
of insensibility. Some idea may be formed of the ruf-
fianism of the prisoner from the fact that it required no
less than six constables to remove) him to the station,
and when they got him there it was with the utmost
difficulty they were enabled to remove him from the
place where the charge was taken to the strong room.
The certificate of Mr. Flower, the divisional surgeon,
put in on the prisoner's former examination, described
the injuries received by the constable from kicks on a
tender part of his person as most severe, and the certi-
ficate of yesterday went to show that he was at present
in a highly dangerous state, and totally unable to leave
his bed. _

The only defence set up by the prisoner was that of
being intoxicated at the time, and when in that state ho
said he was mad.
Ile was again remanded to a future day.

tia enlistment, we find, upon inquiry, that the enrolment for
the 2d Lancashire (the Liverpool) Regiment is going for-
ward as rapidly and as satisfactorily as possible. The enrol-
ment commenced in Liverpool on the 4th inst., and, up to
the 18th, the number actually enrolled was 601. The num-
ber examined by the medical inspector was 746, of whom
145 were rejected. At Prescot, on the 17th and 18th inst.,
191 volunteers were enrolled; many of these are labourcr3
