REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

MWDLESEX.

Yesterday the revision for this county was pursued at
the Court-house, Lime-house. Mr. COVENTRY and Mr.
KEEN, the Revisiag Barristers, attended at the usual hour.
The Bromley, St. Leonard, and St. Anne, Limehouse,
lists were examined, but they presented no case of novelty.
There were some objections raised on the part of the Con-
servatives to the retention on the list of parties claiming
as Trustees of the River Lea, but the objections were ex-
punged without any argument.
Mr. KEEN heard the objections on the lists from St.
Paul Shadwell, St. Mary Stratford-le-Bow, Poplar, Rat-
cliffe. &c.
THE RUSSELL CASES.—Previously to proceeding, Mr.
KEEN said that he deemed it to be his duty to notice a
letter that had appeared in a morning paper, signed " A
Middlesex Elector." It cast an impeachment on the pro-
bity of the Court, in declaring that he had decided con-
trary to the law, because the cases were (the Russells)
those of relations of a Minister of the Crown, and because
the claim of that Minister himself(Lord John Russell) was
involved in the decision. Therefore he repelled the at-
tack, not on his own acconnt, for such course would be
inconsistent with the position he temporarily held, but
for the purpose of correcting possible misapprehen-
sion
and error as to what had fallen from him on
the occasion of directing the retention of Lord John
Russell's claim and right to vote. He had on that
occasion declared that he held that the latter part
of the 7th sec. of 7th and Bth Wil. 3, cap. 5, enacting that
all conveyances for splitting votes should be void, was not
applicable to the present state of the law of elections ; but
the object of that enactment was to restrict the right of
voting to one voice for one house or tenement, &c., whereas
the Reform Act admitted a plurality of votes for one and
the same property. He had farther held that the grants of
the rent charge by the Duke of Bedford could not be for
the alleged consideration of natural love and affection, but
was plainly for the purpose of creating votes. He had held
the opinion that the desire to confer the county franchise
upon a son or relative of the granter was a legitimate mo-
tive for the gift, and that even if such a motive were ex-
pressed upon the face of an instrument creating a rent
charge it would not invalidate the grant. That the re-
striction of the right of voting to one voice, which was the
object of the Splitting Act, was no longer part of the law,
was clear from the consideration that there was now no
limit, except value, to the number of persons who might be
entitled to vote in respect of the same property. He deem-
ed further explanation unnecesss.ry,

• Sixteen cases stand over.

CITY.

SOLICITORS' OFFICES.—Mr. MYLNE said the first case
in which he bud to give judgment was one of great im-
portance, as it affected the claims of a great number of in-
dividuals in the City of London. The question he had to
decide was, whether a solicitor's office, where no other
apartments were occupied, was or was not a proper quali-
fication, under the 27th sect. of the Reform Act. Under
all the circumstances, he felt bound to allow the claims of
all those parties claiming in respect of occupying solicitors'
offices.
Claim allowed. This decision places a great number of
names on the registry.
BARNARDS' INN.—In the parish of St. Andrew, Hol-
born, a number of gentlemen claimed to be placed on the
registry, as belonging to a Society in Barnard's Inn, called
the " Antients."—Claim allowed.

ORDINARY OF NENVGATE.

CHRISTCHURCH, NENVGATE-STREET.-Mr. CRAIG gave
judgment in this case at considerable length, disallowing the
claim.
CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—Mr. CRAIG said Browne and
Rice claimed to be placed on the register, in respect of
houses they occupied in their right as masters of Christ's
Hospital. These cases did not materially differ from Dr.
Cotton's, which he had just decided, and he should not
allow the claim. _

Mr. My LNE acknowledged the courtesy and good feeling
which had prevailed throughout the whole proceedings.
Mr. ROWCROFT bore testimony to the impartiality of
the Revising Barristers.
After which the Court adjourned.
