THE REGISTRATIONS.

CITY OF LONDON.—MoNDAY.
(Before Mr. MYLNE.)
John Joseph Taylor had claimed to be inserted in the re-
gistry as a freeman of the Coopers' Company, but it appeared
that the claimant's namo was entered in the list of the livery-
men of that Company as John Taylor ; and though the Clerk
of the Company admitted the identity of the claimant with the
person whose name was contained in that list, he stated at the
same time that he had no power to alter it, until the correction
bad first been made at the Chamberlain's Office, fer by
making such a correction he would deprive Mr. Taylor's ap-
prentices of their freedom. Upon that state of circumstances
the Court had deferred its opinion.
Mr. MrnrcE this morning gave his decision, and said that
he was bound to insert in the registry the name by which the
claimant was pleased in his claim to be called.
(Before Mr. CRAIG.)
The lists for the parishes of St. Alphage, St. Andrew's
Undershaft, and Allhallows Staining, underwent revision to-
day ; but the following case was the only one presentin the
smallest particle of interest :—ln the parish of Allbeae-
lows
Staining, Mr. Spaeth had, an a former day, been ajected to
by the Conservatives, on the ground that he was an alien.
The collector had then stet :d that Spaeth had admitted him-
self to be a foreigner, and that he spoke with a foreign ac-
cent; but that he thought he had letters of denization. Mr.
Gregory expressed his opinion that there was sufficient suspi-
cion about the use to call for the production of the letters of
denization, and the case was postponitd. To-day a clerk of
Mr. Spaeth appeared, but he knew nothing about anv letters
of denization, and would not swear that Mr. Spaeth spoke
with a foreign accent.
Mr. GREGORY submitted that the letters ought to be pro-
, duce&

Mr. CRAIG said there was, in his opinion, no sufficient cause
shown for calling on Mr. Spaeth to produce his letters of de-

The o'oj:ction was disallowed.
MIDDLESEX.—MONDAY.

Messrs. COVENTRY and SHADWELL, the Revising Barristers,
sat this morning in the rooms over the new Courts, Guildhall,
for the revision of the lists of voters within the precincts of
the city of London.
Mr. Coppock, the objector-general, whose name was ex-
punged from the Bedfont list, attended in person, to support
the Radical interest.

(Before Mr. COVENTRT.)

The list of St. Botolph, Billingsgate, not hAving heel af-
fixed to the church doors in tim", the objections to names
contained in it fell to the ground. The claim of Mr. Brown,
the Warden of the Fleet Prison, svgs objected to by the Ra-
dicals. The claim was in right" of his freehold office; but
as it appeared that he was allowed a vote for the City in right
of this qualificatiorf, his present claim was rejected.
(Befora Mr. SHADWELL.

In the Christchurch list the name of Jasper Holmes was
objected to by Mr. Coppock. Name struck out.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Ocr. 1.

AN EXCELLENT TENANT. —Jane Martha Moore, an elderly
female, applied upon her petition to be discharged. The in-
solvent was not opposed. From the questions put by the
Learned Commissioner, it appeared that the insolvent had
rented a house adjoining the St. James's Theatre, from Mr.
Braham, in which she carried on the business of a dealer in
cigars. Business being bad, she either could not, or forgot to
pay, her rent, and had removed the greater part of her goods.
A gentleman who attended for Mr. Braham said that gen-
tleman was anxious to get possession of the premises ; a dis.
tre.s had been put in, but only a few pounds had been obtained
in consequence of the insolvent removing nearly the whole of
her goods.
Mr. Commisioner BOWEN told the insolvent, who did not
appear at all desirous to give up the house, that it was a most
unjust thing to take a house, and then not to pay the rent.
In the course of the invest;gation, it appeared that the first
quarter's rent was due on the 25th of June, and the other on
Saturday last.
Mr. 'Commissioner BOWEN observed that the Court could
not discharge her from either of the quarter's rents, inasmuch,
as the insolvent had filed her petition on the 20th of June.
The Court had not the power to order possession, unless a
debt existed. _ _ _

The insolvent, it appeared, had bean previously discharged
under an order of the Court, in February, 1833. She
stated that the cause of that insolvency was her unfortunately
accepting two accommodation bills.
Mr. Commiss'oner BoWEN told th• insolvent if she would
give up possession he would not require her to procure the
consent of her creditors. It was rather too bad to cheat the
landlord out of his rent and keep possession also.
The insolvent, after a good deal of grumbling, consented to
give ap the house.
The case was then adjourned to Thursday, in order to af-
ford her an opportunity of doing so.
