EAST SURREY.

On Tuesday Sir Bar'., held his court at
the Town-hall, Reigate, for the revision of the lists of
voters of 23 parishes in this polling district.
Mr. G. R. Corner and Mr. W. C. Burt, solicitors,
and Mr. T. Jeans, secretary of the East Surrey Reform
Registration Society, attended for the Liberals, and made
objections in the parish lists of Betchworth, Blechingly,
Buchland, Burstow, Charlwood, Godstone, Honley,
Limpsfielci, Lingfield, Merstbam, Nutfield, and the
Foreign of Reigate ; but no objections were taken by the
Tories, who, however, were represented by Mr. T. Hart
and Mr. Edward Stenniiig.
In the Betchworth list Mr. Thomas Burberry was ob-
jected to as being a Post•office keeper at Brochans-green.
Mr. Burberry stated that he was appointed by the
postmaster at Reigate, and not by the Postmaster-
General, and that he had no appointment in writing.
Mr. Hart contended that that fact showed that be
was not a Government officer.
The Revising Barrister said that as Mr. Barberry was
employed in the collection of the revenue, he could 'act
be entitled to vote, and it was only those entitled to vote
who were entitled to be on the register.
The vote was therefore disallowed, as also were 6 other
objections to Pest-office-keepers, which had been made
by the East Surrey Reform Registration Society.
Twenty-nine objections were made by the reformers,
and the results were-21 sustained, 1 withheld, and 7
failed.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE.—At Hull, on
Monday, Joseph May, a Waterman, 61 years of age, who
has been living in London, apart from his wife, for a
considerable length of time, went to a house in John's-
place, Edward's-place, Cogan-street, where his wife and
daughter resided. He stated his intention of sleeping
there, and no objection was made, but later on in the
evening hie daughter saw him with a razor, which he
secreted. She watched her opportunity and took the
razor away. The man, however, seems to have been
bent on the destruction of his wife, for about six o'clock
yesterday morning he suddenly seized her in bed and
attempted to cut her throat with an old rusty razor.
She offered a desperate resistance, in the course of which
she received no less than 14 wounds on various parts of
her body. The neighbours, hearing a noise, went into
the house, when the would-be murderer relinquished hie
hold on his intended victim and drew the razor several
times across his own throat; Not being sharp, the in•
strement sawed the flesh instead of, cutting it. Never-
theless, the man sustained such injuries, and lost so
much blood, that it was rendered absolutely necessary
to remove bins to the infirmary, where, at present,
the chances are against kis recovery. The poor wife
lies at home, and from a certificate given to the
police yesterday by Dr. Bell, her medical attend-
ant, there is not the slightest chance of her reco-
very. The stipendiary magistrate will proceed at once
to take the depositions of Mrs. May, in order that her
inhuman husband—who is said to have been prompted
on Loudon,
to the commission of this frightful deed by jealousy—
may not escape condign punishment.
