THE REGISTRATIONS.

Mr. LEE'S CASE....- W
MrESTMINSTER. CRAIG said, when this case '",
last before him last year it was much considered, and be ).e„
himself obliged to come to the conclusion that he was not
titled to be registered. Mr. Martin's case was precisely ail!:
lar, and was involved in the decision on Mr. Lee's case. "Iti,
mediately after the last registration, Mr. Lee, togetherm:r
Mr. Martin, entered into an agreement with the lan"'",.e:
which was dated the 9th October, 1837, and under that agr-e,
merit they had continued to occupy up to the present rc
Inasmuch, however, as the occupation must extend to a Perl(l
antecedent to the date of the agreement, namely, to the 3.4
13.`in
July, 1837, it was necessary to inquire what was the neton,
of the occupation between the 31st July and the 9th igniy
tober, 1837. It appeared that the occupation was Preed- be
the same as described in the evidence last year, 3°7.00
would therefore read from the note of his former'dee'sn- er
the description which was then given of the n' Gen'
in which the house was occupied. The Learned I..`"eio,
tleman then read the following evidence :—" in a j"°t-hse
No. 7, in Tavistock-street, Mr. Lee occupies a parlour on
in
ground floor, the whole of the first floor, and the kitchens"
the basement. The first floor consists of four rooms. by
second floor is occupied by Mr. Martin, and the third floocrlo
Mr. Dixon. All these three gentlemen rent these resPe t,nt
particulars of Mr. Baker, who has a lease of the house,
awni
does not by himself, his family, or his sereants, reside iinyoll
part of the house. Mr. Lee, Mr. Martin, and Mr. 1
enter by one common door from the street into a Pa 5,,,
which is also common, and they ascend to the upper r

staircase, which I understand also to be comrcon to so
as the respective heights of their resective apartmeilts. „nay
or e a
have each a latch key for the street door, and they b the
mon right to the use of the principal key of that doOr
door, however, has generally been fastened by means of )bolts
t
and a chain; it has been the custom for one of these i.e"
tlemen who happened to be last out of night to make this
door secure, or if neither is out late, Mr. Lee, or Or
of his family, secure the door. Mr. Martin
kitchen for
Dixon have a right to go down into the kiteche "r.
water ; but not to use the kitchen for any other purpose. 'l"bti d
Martin has a coal cellar in the basement story.:' He and
been urged to consider the grounds of his determunatinnP for
ho understood that a large number of persons was waiting
a favourable decision, in order that they might put in e Dr,
for similar qualifications before the date of that greenlet"
After going through the arguments at considerable length,sion
Learned Gntleman said that he had come to the conc.lute _
that the apartments occupied by Mr. Lee did not constitutbe;
house, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, and tbst
cb
were not embraced in any legal definition of that word, wve
he could venture to follow in a question of this kind. Sod "thel;
as Mr. Lee and Mr. Martin's qualification contintlet Sob
same as when it was before him last year, they were Po no-
as to entitle them to be registered ; and this rendered it %no
cessary for him to consider the change made by the it
of the 9th October, 1837.
The names of Mr. Lee and Mr. Martin were therefore el"
punged.
