REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

LONDON.
(Before Mr. CRAIG.)
FRIDAY. Allen, and nineteen other claimants in re-
spect of houses in St. Ann's, Blackfriars, were objected to
by Mr. Rodgers. It would appear that all these claimants
are tenants of a Mr. Norris, who some time back entered
into an arrangement with the parish officers to pay Is. in
the pound rate for each house, whether occupied or not,
and accordingly Mr. Norris's name appeared on the ratc-
book as the .party rated for all the houses, though the
tenants' names were inserted as occupiers.

Mr. Craig reserved his decision on the point.

FINSBURY.

The Revising Barristers for this borough resumed tl.cir
sittings at ten o'clock yesterday at White Conduit-house.
(Before Mr. TAMLYN.)
ST. GILES-IN-THE-FIELDS.

Mr. TAMLYN continued the revision of the list of this
pa;'jsh yesterday, and, in the course of the morning, stated
that s6:ne mistake appeared to have taken place as to what
he said in the case of Mr. Vicier, of Lincoln's-inn-fields.
Mr. TAidzYN wished the case to go on on the merits,
but—

Mr. Murylen declined doing so till he had the opinion
of the Court ort the point.
Mr. TAMLYN Olen said he should consult his colleague
before giving his deeibon.—The case was then postponed.
[Before Mr. FALCONER.]
The following list was to :Nye been taken by Mr. Tam-
lyn, but in consequence of that gentleman not having con-
eluded the parish of St. George, Bloomsbury, Mr. Falconer
sat in his Court to take it.

LIBERTY OF SAFFRON-HILL, HATTON-GARDEN, AND ELY-

RENTS.

There 336 names in the original list of this liberty. No
new claims, and 23 objection which were taken by Mr.
Pcnfold.

Mr. Winch attended for the Reformers.
The name of John Belotti was opposed on the ground
tL3t he was not the actual occupier, but that his son, who
was 6 minor, resided on the premises.
Mr. ii,LeoNna, in giving his judgment, said that in the
Bedford case there was a much stronger proof of alienage
than in the present. The case was that of Godfrey Levi
(Perry and Knapp's Reports, page 147) ; and to prove the
alienage the brother of the voter and another witness were
called, who proved that they had known him an infant in
Germany, and afterwards in England, and that lie spoke
with a foreign accent. The Committee of the House of
Commons in this case decided, that as there was no proof
that one of the parents of the voter was not an English
subject, in which case he would have been so, the vote
was good. He (Mr. Falconer) was of opinion, after this
decision of a Committee of a House of Commons, that the
evidence in the case before him was insufficient proof of
the alienage, and that therefore the objection must be
disallowed.

Mr. Penfold said, that in consequence of this decision
he should withdraw his other objections on account of
a;:enage,and be satisfied if proof was given of the proper
quabf cation.
The decision affected 1.5 out of the 23 obections.
In the ease of Anthony Pastoratio, 1117. Penfold said
that last year ire name had been struck cut, satisfactory
evidence having bL en given that Pastoratio was a foreigner,
and had served on fore&n juries.
Mr. FALCONER said that in the absence of such evidence
now, the name must be retained.

PRACTICE OF THE COURT.
In a case possessing no public interest Mr. Blackburn,
the Chancery Barrister, was observed ly Mr, Penfold to
be speaking to Mr. Winch, who was conducting the case
on the part of the Reformers.
Mr. Penfold immediately objected t• the interference of
Mr. Blackburn in any case before the Court, as it was
clearly laid down by the 57th sectio► of the Act, that no
party should appear by Counsel.
Mr. FALCONER said that a simikr objection had been
made to him whilst speaking to a Revising Barrister, and
it was then held that he might suggest anything, but not
address the Court.
The lists having been conclsded, 3 of the objections were
allowed, and 20 disallowed.
