REGISTRATION.

MIDDLESEX.
Messrs. COVENTRY and SITADWELL held courts yesterday,
at the Sussex Arms Tavern, Hammersmith, to revise tie
lists of voters for the parishes of Fulham, Chiswick, atid
Hammersmith.

(Before Mr. COVENTRY. )
n the Fulham list, the name of John Goutel having been

called,
Mr. Davis said that the party claimed to vote in
right of "leasehold houses," but notice of objection bail
been served on one tenant only, the party himself resi3-
ing at Norwich. He contended that every tenant in pos-
session must be served with notice, in order to make the

notice valid.
Mr. ADEY said that the intention of the Legislature was,
that every person whose claim was objected to should have full
notice of such objection ; and he contended that service upon
one tenant was a sufficient notice within the meaning of the
Act of Parliament.
Mr. COVENTRY said this was a most important question.
There were some decisions upon it in Mr. Delano's book, to
which he wished to refer before giving his opinion.
The claim of Lord Ranelagli, who was described as resid-
ing in Cork-street, was objected to on the ground of misde-
scription of residence, it being alleged that his Lordship had
passed the two last years in Spain.---Claim disallowed.
(Before Mr. SH•DWELL.
George Clare was objected to by Mr. Holmes, on behalf of
Mr. James Coppock.
Mr. TURNER took an objection to the service of the notice
of objection, on the ground that the signature of Mr. Coppock
was not in the handwriting of that gentleman.
Mr. HOLMES admitted that the signature of Mr. Coppock
was not in that gentleman's handwriting, but he called a wit-
ness, Mr. Hugh Bernard, who stated that Mr. Coppock was
out of town, that before Mr. Coppock left town he had in-
formed witness that be expected to receive a list of names
from Hammersmith, to which he intended to object, and he
authorised witness to object to them it his (Mr. Coppock's)
name, which witness had accordingly done.
Mr. SIIADWELL was of opinion that the notice wasnas ot vwere
alid.
The name of Mr. Clare was accordingly retained,
the names of several other persons whose nitices were simi

and also those at King-street, Crown .stre. t, and Holborn.
from whence engines directly started to the spot; but such had
been the fierceness of the flames that it was impossible to save
any particle of those premises, and in consequence the firemen's
directions were on the adjoining. It was not till six o'clock
