THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.

The ie.vision 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 Welker Ready was objected to by
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 number 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 ➢ir. 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,
Cheapside, 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 hill em-
ployers that he should resido in these rooms, and La the
event of a disagreement taking plate between thoni, 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 no married person resided there but himself.
The REVISING BARRISTER allowed the claim, and in-
serted the name on the list,

The 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, Langbeurne, Limo-street, and Tower
wards, and the Inner and Middle Temple.
