REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

CITY OF LONDON.

At the sitting of the Court Mr. CRAIG gave judgment
in the case of Mr. Black, the Clerk of the Ironmongers
Company, expunving his name from the list of voters.
The Learned Gentleman also decided against Mr. WeL,
ster's claim, holding that ho enjoyed the oreepatlon of b:s
house in lieu of salary, and therj.t'nl CI Pot possess the
character of tenant.
ST. BRIDE'S FLEET-STREET.

The name of Jam's Frederick Blake appeared on the
register as the occup'er of 127, Fleet-street : he was ob-
jected to by Rodgers.
It was proved by the overseer that the premises were
in the possession of the Morning Advertiser„ and were
rated in the books as " The Morning Advertiser news-
paper office, house, and premises ; James E. Blake,
Secretary."_.

The 1 &disbar of the Morning Advertiser pr,Ated that
Mr. Blake paid rent. for the premises. On cross-exami-
nation, he stated that Mr. Blake was secretary to the
Licensed Victuallers' Society, and that he paid rent to the
landlord, but he did not know on what account : Mr.
Blake might occupy any other house he pleased, but he
was not aware that he might conduct the business of the
society in any other house.
Mr. Roocuts here said that he would pair off the name
of Mr. Hearn, of the Morning Herald, with that of Mr.
Blake.

Mr. CRAIG thought that was very fair.
The names were then expunged.
John Kemble Chapman's name appeared, as the occupier
of the house in which the Sunday Times was published.
Toe na ne wai object dto by Mr. Rodgers. The circum-
stances of this appearing like the two preceding cases, the
name was expunged.

property, the Court could not allow his name to be retained
•n the list. The legal estate was vested in the claimant's
brother, Mr. Thomas Bullock, consequently Mr. Joseph
Bullock's name must be expunged.

(Before Mi. BOSANQUET.)
ADDRY'f3 CHARITY, DEPTFORD.

The name of he Rev. B.
the rector St.
ratlr!, ..deptford, with six others asJen trustees of John Ad-
dey's Charity, High-street, Deptford, were objected to.
Mr. Sandom, on behalf of the Conservatives, objected to
three of the trustees, who are Liberal ; and Mr. Holmes
objected to the remaining four, who are in the Conserva-
tive interest, and amongst whom is the reverend claimant.
It was previously arranged that the claims of the whole seven
should rest on the decision given in Mr. Ffinch's case.
It appeared by the trust-deed which was put in, that the
claimant and the other trustees were appointed to receive
rents arising from the estate of the late John Addey, which
consisted of several freehold houses and land, and amounted
to 4001. per annum, and apply them generally to the " best
benefit of the poor," without mentioning any particular
persons.

Mr. Holmes argued that the direction in the trust-deed
for the rents to be expended for the best benefit of the poor
deprived the trustees of the beneficial interest.
Mr. BosANQuET held that they were trustees in posses-
sion, inasmuch as they had absolute control over the rents
and might pay to whom they pleased. He should, there-
forc, retain the name of Mr. Finch.

The objections to the other trustees were then withdrawn
on both sides and the claims allowed.

THE TABERNACLE, GREENWICH.

Mr. John Andrew Goldfinch was objected to by the
Conservatives.

The claimant, who is co-trustee with fourteen others of
the above chapel and burial-ground in the Greenwich-road,
r.!ceived the pew and other rents and paid them ever to the
minister. The annual value of the property was stated to
be 100/. The trust-deed was produced and inspected by
the Court, and the claim was disallowed.
