EAST SURREY.

Yesterday V. KNOX and C. B. LENNARD, Esquires, sat
at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, and commenced their
revision of the Lists of voters for the Eastern Divkion of
the county of Surrey. The Court having been opened
with the usual formalities, the Learned Gentlemen sepa-
rated, and proceeded with the lists brought before them in
their respective apartments.
The lists taken this day were those of the
BOROUGH OF r.AmBETti.
(Before V. KNOX, Esq.)
The list of the parish of Lambeth having been presented
for revision,
Mr. E] OX inquired how many objections there were ?
Mr. Clark; (the Vestry-Clerk,) replied that there were
none.
Mr. KNox--Icat ! not an objection to the lists of so
large and populous a parish as this! I am astonished.

There were 28 new claims.
Mr. Carey claimed in respect of his occupation of the
house situate No. 80, Carlisle-place. He admitted that he
had not paid his rates prior to the 21st of July, but the
amount had been tendered by him in sufficient time.
Mr. KNox allowed the claim.

An individual whose name had been omitted from the list
applied to have it inserted, on the ground that the omission
was the act of the overseer, and not the result of any de-
fault by claimont.—Claim disallowed.
Mr. Fillon applied to have his name correctly entered.
He stated that in tike registry of the two last years his name
had been printed by m:z4take as " Tiller."
• Mr. KNOX, having sat!isfied himself that the claimant
still possessed his original qu,lification, and had paid up his
rates and taxes, said he should allow Mr. Fillon's claim.
Mr. T. Holbrook claimed in respect of a house in the
New-road, Camberwell.
Mr. Hall, the poor-rates collector, objected that the
claimant was not rated in the parish boo:cs.
Mr. KNOX said the fact was, Mr. Holbrook bad been a
party to a species of fraud on the parish, by allowing Mr.
Mott to appear as the occupier of the house, when he was
not so, the object being merely to enable him to fulfil his
parish contract. Under these circumstances the claimant
must lose his vote. Claim disallowed.
In the list of the Bishop's Liberty the collector requested
that a name might be struck out ; the party being dead.
Mr. KNox—Are you sure this individual is dead? We
must be careful that we do not strike out names without
positive knowledge of the fact. Last year several persons
whom we killed after this fashion came to life again on the
adjournment. day.—(Laughter.)
Mr. KNOX observed that the Prince's Liberty contains
several names which appeared also in the list of voters for the
county, and remarked that such names ought to have been
objected to. No objection, however, having been made he
had not the power to strike the names off. The overseers
ought to take care to avoid this repetition, if possible, other-
wise a great many bad votes might be created. All he
could do was to enter the residence of the other parties.
He believed th,t no part of Herne-hill, properly so called,
belonged to the borough.
Mr. John Fiddey was entered as entitled in respect of a
house situate in the borough, although his claim was as
occupier of land in. Acre-land, which is beyond the limits.
Mr. Knox said, this was another instance in which a
had vote must be retained ; because, not having been ob-
jected to, he had not the power to strike it out.
The Collector said, Mr. Fiddey's house was within a
hundred yards of the limits of the borough, which commu-
nicated by a back entrance to the land in question.
Mr. KNox said, the house being without the borough,
the party was not entitled to a vote ; but for "the reason he
bad stated the name must remain on the list.

(Before C. B. LENNARD, Esq.)
N EWINGTON.
Mr. Burhill claimed, saving that he had paid his poor-
rates in time, but had failed to pay his King's taxes, the
collector not having called upon him for them, and not know-
ing where he lived, so that he might call to pay them. As
soon as the collector did apply the amount due was paid.—
Claim disallowed.
Mr. Phillips having claimed,
The Collector of the poor-rates said it was a question
whether this claim was admissible, inasmuch as a shilling,
which was demanded with the rate, had not been paid in
due time.
Mr. LENNARD decided that the claim was admissible, the
rates having been paid. The Act was silent as to costs.
The correction of some misdescriptions of names and
places was reserved for the adjournment-day, which was
fixed for the Bth of next month. _ _

---;The new claims were thus disposed of :—Lambeth
parish, 28—allowed, 22 ; disallowed, 6. Newingtonl42

_
