ST. DUNSTAN'S WEST.

In this perist a curious point arose. The vote of Mr.
Dolby was objected to on the ground that he had not paid
all the rates required by the Act.
Mr. Dolby proved that he had for some years occupied
premises giving him a qualification, but from some mistake
the overseer had neglected, or forgotten, to call for one
quarter's poor-rates. He had regularly paid rates before
and subsequent to the one on which -his' vote was objected
to, and therefore as it was clearly a mistake, he submitted
that the Court would be authorised in retaining his name
on the Registry.

Judgment postponed.
(Before Mr. CRAIG.)
ST. BOTOLPH, ALDERSGATE.
In this parish a question arose on the consideration of a
voter named Berman, as to whether the assessed taxes
vibieldwi become due before the 6th of April, and not paid
"before the 20th of July, which taxes had not been de-
manded, could be considered due and payable under the
27th section of th© Act.

Mr. CRAIG said he was of opinion a tax was due and
payable without any demand being made, and his Learned
Colleague was of the same opinion.—Objection allowed.
The claim of Dr. Cotton, the Ordinary of Ncwgate, was
objected to by the Liberal party, on the ground that the city
paid the rates of the house he resided in.
Mr. CRAIG said it was a nice point. He would take
time to consider his judgment.
In the parish of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, the Conserva-
tives objected to 18 votes, and succeded in establishing 16.
The vote of James Miller was objected to on the ground
that he had gone to America, and was not likely to return.
—Objection allowed.

A voter named Richards was objected to on the ground
that he was receiving alms.
Mr. CRAIG said the receipt of a charitable annuity under
he provisions of a trust deed did not vitiate a vote.—Objec-
ion disallowed.

LIABILITIES OF OVERSEERS.
In the parish of St. Bride, Fleet-street, the Conservatives
served two notices of objections, but it appeared the no-
tices had never been posted on the church doors in the man-
ner required by the Reform Act.
Mr. CRAIG said he could not entertain the objections,
and allowed the votes.

TOWER HAMLETS.
Yesterday Mr. TAMLYN and Mr. FALCONER, being ap-
pointed the Revising Barristers for the borough of the
Tower Hamlets, held their Courts at the Eagle Tavern,
Mile-end-road.

(Before Mr. TAMLYN.)
The lists of the differeat parishes of the borough were
divided between the two Learned Gentlemen, and those
which formed the share of Mr. Tamlyn were the lists of the
parishes of Saint Botolph Without, Aldgate ; All-Saints,
Poplar ; St. Anne, Limehouse ; the Liberty of the Artil-
lery Ground ; St. Catherine Precincts ; Hamlet of Rat-
cliffe ; St. George, Middlesex ; Holy Trinity, Minories ;
and St. John, Hackney.
The Learned Barrister went through several of the lists,
but no case of public interest occurred.
(Before Mr. FALCONER.)
The lists which Mr. FALCONER undertook to revise were,
St. John, Wapping ; St. Leonard, Shoreditch ; St. Leonard,
Bromley ; Mile-end Old Town ; Mile-end New Town ;
St. Mary, Whitachapel ; St. Matthew, Bethnal-green ;
St. Mary, Stratford-le-Bow : Norton-folgate ; St. Paul,
Shadwell ; St. Peter, Advincula : Tower within the Walls,
and Tower without the Walls.

List of St. Leonard, Bromley.--Claims, 3, and all al-
lowed ; objectioto, none ; number of voters on the revised
list, 91.

St. Leonard, Shoreaitch, presented no case of interest,
except the cases of Edward Earles, Benjamin Linsey, and
Chas. Yarrow, who claimed to be inserted on the list, being
possessed of all the qualifications. The objection against
them was, that they were collectors of the assessed taxes,
and disqualified thereby, according to Act of Parliament.
It appeared that they had been appointed by a local Board,
and that the office was compulsory, and the parties were
admitted by the Court into the list of voters, because they
had not been appointed by the Treasury. Claims in this
parish, 22 ; allowed, 12 ; objections, 0 ; total of voters on
the revised list, 2,850.

In St. Paul, Shadwell, there were—Claims, 1 ; allowba,
I ; objections, 0 ; number of voters, 251.
Mr. FALCONER went over other lists. 'and it is expected
the business wilt be concluded to-113°71.0w (this day).

MIDDLESEX.
Yesterday Mr. COVENTRY aad Mr. KEEN, the Revising
Barristers, resumed the investigations of such objections
as were urged to the claims on the County lists, sitting at
Gray's Inn Coffee-house.
Mr. COVENTRY heard several cases against which objec-
tions had been made, but as he did not decide on them yes-
terday, they will be noticed when judgments are given.
Mr. Drew and Mr. Roberts claimed the privilege of vo-
ting, on account of the freehold office held by them being in
the Six Clerks' office. Judgment was postponed.

RECTOR OF ST. ANDREW'S.
Mr. Coppock, for the Reformers, opposed the vote of
the Rector of St. Andrew's, which was claimed on account
of the emolument arising from the fees received by him from
the burial ground. Some discussion having taken place on
this case, it was at last decided by Mr. COVENTRY consi-
dering the claim justified.—Claim allowed.

THE DUKE (IF BEDFORD'S PROPERTY.
(Before Mr. KEEN.)
The vote claimed by the Marquis of Tavistock, which
was grounded on a rent charge of 40s. per annum, secured
on houses which the Duke of Bedford granted him was dis-
allowed.

The next claims brought forward were those of Lord
John, Russell, Lord William Russell, Lord Charles
James Fox Russell, Lord Edward Russell, Lord George
William Russell, and Lord Wriothesley Russell. They
were in virtue of 40s. rent charges, granted on several
houses to the above-mentioned Lords by the Duke of
Bedford.

Lord William Russell's claim was first heard, as the ob-
jection was taken on a preliminary point, namely, that
he had changed his residence, without giving the required
notice. His Lordship was described as of the Castle
Hotel, Richmond,
Mr. GREQQAVY opposed the claim, alleging that his
Lordship did not live at the above-named place when
the lists were prepared.
Mr, KEEN observed, in giving judgment on this case
that he considered the address of the person was a mere
matter of form, and not of any substance, the question
qualification being wholly separated from it ; but the alle-
gation as to residence must be proved.
Mr. GREGORY then objected to the qualification of all
the above-mentioned members of the house bi Russell,
who had claimed to be entitled to vote ;:n virtue of a 40s.
rent-charge, granted them for tke purpose only of mul-
tiplying vote&
Mr, Ktioz, atter hearing evidence skad arguments in
apposition as well as in support of the claimants, de-
livered judgment in favour of all the claims, excepting that
of Lord William Russell (as we understood Mr. Keen
tq titAy), because his residence had not been proved.
Mr. GREGORY protested against the admission of the
olaims—they might be the subject of a petition to the
House of Commons in the ensuing session, and to render
it more clear he proved the service of the several notices
of objection.
