37.-retersfield.-The Statement of the Commissioner is adored,
consistently with his view of the extent of the Town. Sec
note to his Repott.
:S.-Ashburton-The Commissioner's Statement has been
adopted, because he hassikontined it to the Town, whereas
the Returning Officer has included the whole Parish, with
which the Borough is not co-extensive, as appears by t c
statement of the Portreeve, at page 101 of Parliamentary
Returns.
59.-Eye.-The Statements of the Returning Officer and Com-
missioner correspond,
60.-Westbury.-The Statement of the Commissioners has been
adopted, that of the Returning Officer, comprising more
than can be properly considered to be within the limits of
the Town, See Report and Plan.
61.-Wareham.-The Return of the Commissioners is adopted,
the Returning Officer having admitted his Return to have
been founded on a misapprehension of the Circular Letter.
See Report and Plan.
62.-Wilton.-Douhts having arisen as to the propriety of in-
cluding the Hamlets of Ditchampton and Bulbridge In
the Town of Wilton, a recent survey has been made by
one of the Ordnance Surveyors, and the result has led to
the adoption of the numbers given in the List. These
Hamlets were omitted by the Returning Officer.
63.-Midburst-The Returns of the Commissioners and Return.
ing Officer correspond as to the number of Houses, and
very nearly so in the amount of Assessed Taxes. The
Commissioners' Report is adopted. See Report and Plan.
64.-Woodstock.-The Commissioners' Report is adopted, that of
the Returning Officer being obviously erroneous. See Re-
port and Plan.
1i5.-Christchurch.-The Returning Officer's Statement has beets
adopted, subject to the result of a further inquiry now in
progress as to what may be justly considered the extent of
the Town.
66.-Isahnesbury -The Statement of the Commissioner has been
adopted, agreeing with that of the Returning Officer as to
Taxes, but exceeding it by i`2 its the numher rf Houses.
67.-Liskeard.-The Returning Officer's Statement is adopted;
it agrees with that of the Commissioners as to Taxes. The
difference its the number of Houses is only six.
CO.-Reigate -The Statement of the Commissioner is adopted ;
the difference between the Returns is very trifling.
69.-Hythe.-I'he Returning Officer's Statement of 'Faxes, cor-
responding with the Parliamentary Returns, is adopted.
The Commissioner and Returning Officer agree as to the
number of Houses.
70.-Droitwich.-The Statement of the Commissioner has been
adopted; the Returning Officer having included I-louses
which form no part of the Town.
71.-Lyme Regis.-The Return of the Commissioner is adopted,
as it appears on examination that the Returning Officers
have included the whole Tything of Colway. •
72.-Dartmouth.---The Amount of Taxes is taken from the Re-
turning Officer's Statement, furnishing in detail the Sums
paid by each Parish in the Borough ; the Commissioner's
Return of Houses is adopted, differing 25 from that of the
Returning Officer ; but if the statement ,If the latter were
taken it would not alter the position of Dartmouth in this
List. See Report and Plan.
73.-Launceston with Newport.-The Statement of the Commis-
sioner is adopted; the Returning Officer having omitted
part of Newport, which, consistently with the practice pur-
sued in similar cases, should be considered part of the
Town of Launceston. See Report and Plan.
74.-Thirsk.-The Return of the Commissioner is adopted; it is
much larger than that of the Returning Officer, who is be-
lieved to have returned the Taxes of the Burgage-houses
alone.
75.-Horsham.-The Statement of the Returning Officer, as to
the number of Houses in the Borough, and that of the
Commissioner, as to those in the rest of the Town, have
been adopted ; on a full investigation of the Returns the
Amount of taxes is taken from the Commissioners' Report.
See Report and Plan.
76.--Shaftesburv.-There is a manifest inaccuracy in the State-
ment of 'Faxes by the Returning Officer. The numbers
given in the List are taken from a Return made by one of
the principal Ordnance Surveyors, previous to the receipt of
the Commissioner's Report. from which it would appear
that the Surveyor had ascribed too extended a limit to the
Town. If the Commissioners' numbers were adopted, the
relative number of this Borough would be 2,079.
77.-Great Grimsby.-The Return of the Commissioner is adopted;
there is some obscurity in that of the Returning Officer
with regard to the Assessed Taxes ; but the differences be-
tween the Returns are inconsiderable, and would not
affect the position of the Borough.
78.-Arundel.-The Returns agree as to the number of Houses.
The Statement of Taxes by the Commissioners is adopted,
being supported by the Parliamentary Returns.
79.-St. Ive's.-The Statements of the Returning Officer and
Commissioners correspond.
80.-Rye.-The Statement of the Returning Officer, with respect
to the Town being entirely within the limits of the Borough,
being confirmed by the Commissioners, the numbers given
by him have been adopted.
81.-Northallertota-The numbers adopted are from a Statement
by the Commissioner, and are probably accurate, but can-
not be considered definitive until an inquiry now in pro-
gress is completed. The statement of the Returning Officer
imports that he uses the terms Town and Township syno_
nymously.
BY.-Caine.-The Statements of the Returning Officer and Com-
missioner correspond.
93.-Helston.-The Statements of the Returning Officer and
Commissioner correspond.
84.-Clitheroe.-The Returning Officer and the Commissioner
agree in the number of Houses. The amount of Assessed
Taxes given by the Commissioners is adopted, being con-
firmed by the Parliamentary Returns.
85.-Morpeth.-The Statement of the Commissioners has been
adopted It is probably accurate, but cannot be considered
definitive until a further inquiry, nosy iu progress, is corn.
pleted.
86.-Wallingforta-The Returning Officer and Commissioners
agree in the number of Houses, and the Statement of Taxes
by the former is adopted, being supported by the Parlia-
mentary Return. See Report and Plan.
• 87.-Totness.-The Taxes for the Borough are taken from the
Parliamentary Return, and to these have been added the
Taxes of Bridge Town. Consistently with the practice in
similar cases, Bridge Town has been considered part of the
Town of Totness, although it has not been so regarded by
the Returning Officer.
The number of Houses returned is 404, but from these
28 have been deducted, because they are stated to be de-
tached from the town, leaving 379, to which are added 97
Houses in the Hamlet of Bridgetown, making together 473.
These results arc believed to be accurate, but owing to
some difficulty baring occurred in assigning the proper
limits of the Town, and still more to the peculiar situation
which this Boroughs occupies on the List, a further inquiry
has been instituted, and is now in progress.
88.-Chippenhana-The Statements of the Returning Officer and
Commissioners, correspond. See Report and Plan.
89.-Bodmin.--The Statements of the Returning Officer, Com-
missioners and Surveyor of Taxes correspond.
90.-Thetford.-There is a very slight difference between the
Statements of the Returning Officer and Commissioners
(viz. 21. Taxes) ; that of the former is adopted.
91.-Buckingham.-The Statement of the Returning Officer is
adopted, the Commissioners seeing no reason to doubt its
accuracy, and the Amount of Assessed Taxes being con-
firmed by the Parliamentary returns, and the number
of Houses by the Population Returns.
92,-Cockermouth.-The Returning Officer's Statement that the
Town is contained within the Borough, being confirmed
by the Commissioner' his Return is adopted.
93.-Great Marlow.-The Statement of the Commissioner, which
exceeds that of the Returning Officer, both in Houses and
Taxes, is adopted, considering his view of the extent of
the Town to be preferable to that of the Returning Officer.
Sec Report and Plan.
94.-Harwich.-The Statements of the Returning Officer and
Commissioner correspond.
95.-Honiton.-The difference between the Statements of the
Returning Officer, the Commissioners, and Surveyor of
Taxes is inconsiderable. The Return of the Commis-
sioners, which exceeds the other, (2/. in taxes and eight in
houses,) is adopted as most accurate.
96.-Tavistock.-The amount of Taxes has been taken from the
Statement of the Commissioners, that of the Returning
Officer being defective. The amount of Houses being the
number officially returned for the Census of 1831, has been
adopted ; but an intimation having been very recently re-
ceived that there is reason to doubt the accuracy of such
Return, a further inquiry has been directed, which is now
in progress.
97.-Bridgenorth.-The Statements of the Returning Officer and
Commissioners correspond. See Report and Plan.
98.-Marlborough.-The Statements of the Returning Officer and
Commissioner correspond.
99.-Tamworth.-A more extended limit being ascribed to the
Town by the Commissioners than by the Returning Officer,
and the larger limit appearing more consistent with the
practice followed in similar cases, anti conformable to the
instructions conveyed to the Commissioners by direction
of Viscount Melbourne, in the Circular of 24th October,
1831, the number of Houses and amount of Taxes have
been taken from the Commissioners' Statement. See Re-
port and Plan.
100.-Maldon.-The Commissioner confirms the Statement of the
Returning Officer that the Town is comprised within the
Borough, and agrees with him as to the number of Houses.
With respect to the amount of Taxes there appears to be a
material diff'erence, possibly originating in some mistake as
to the limits of the Borough.
The Returning Officer gives for the Borough X 1,373 11 7
The Parliamentary Returns ditto 1,114 10 4
The Commissioner ditto 998 0 0
The medium number of £1,114 has been adopted.
101.-Bridport.-The Return of the Commissioner is adopted,
because he considers Allington a part of the Town of Brid-
port, a conclusion which appears to be strictly in confor-
mity with the instructions of the Circular of 24th October,
and with the practice accordingly adopted in the cases of
Launceston, Totness, &c. See Report and Plan.
102.-Huntingdon.-The Commissioners confirm the Statement
of the Returning Officer, that the Borough is co-extensive
with the four Parishes of St. Mary, St. Benedict, All
Saints, and St. John, and that the Town is entirely within
the Borough. The numbers oldie Returning Officer have
been adopted.
103.-Lymington.-The number of Houses was taken from the
first Report of the Commissioners, which they appear (both
as to Houses and Taxes) to have subsequently altered. If
the smaller numbers given by the Returning Officer be
adopted, Lymington would stand on the List.
104.- Leominster.-The Statements of the Returning Officer and
Commissioner agree, after adding to the amount of the
Taxes given by the former, a sum which, upon his own
Report, appears to have been omitted.
105.-Evesham.-l'he Statements of the Returning Officer, Com-
missioners, and Surveyor of Taxes, correspond as to the
number of Houses. The Returning Officer's amount of
Assessed Taxes is adopted, varying only 161. from that of
the Surveyor.
ioa___Richmond.-The Statement of the Commissioner differs in
a slight degree from that of the Returning Officer, and
this difference is accounted for in his Report. The numbers
given by the Commissioner are probably correct, but were
received too late for insertion in the List.
107.-Pontefract.-The Commi • sinners include parts of the Town.
ship of Tanshelf and of Monkhill ; the Returning Officer
does not. It is immaterial with regard to the position of
Pontefract which numbers are taken.
108.-Newport, Isle of Wight.-The number of Houses given
in the List is much too small. The amount of 'faxes is
that paid by the Borough alone. The Returning Officer
gives 1,160 Houses and 2,0601. Taxes within the Turnpike
Gates: It does not appear by the Plan that the limits so
adopted are too extensive. The smaller numbers erro-
neously used in the List are, however, sufficient to place it
far beyond the limits of the Schedule. The error was not
discovered till the List was printed and circulated.
109.-Sudbury.-The Statements of the Returning Officer and
Surveyor of Taxes correspond, and are adopted, the Com-
missioners seeing no reason to doubt their accuracy.
110.-Malton.-It may be collected from the Returns that con-
siderable doubt exists as to the limits of the Borough. The
Commissioner does not agree with the Returning Officer
that Old Malton is part of the Borough, but he gives more
extended limits to the Town of New Melton. His Retorts
of the number of Houses not being, however, complete,
the numbers given by the Returning Officer were adopted,
but the Taxes have been erroneously stated at 1,301/., in-
stead of 0,0611., and placed in the wrong column. The posi_
Lion which Malton occupies on the List renders this mistake
of no consequence.
111.-Devizes.
112.-Grantham.
113.-Tewkesbury.
114-Andover.
115.-Wells.
116.-Guildford.
117.-Ripon.
118.-Dorchester.
119.-St. Alban's.
120,-Hertford.

It has not been thought necos-sary to give
details for these Boroughs, the number of
Houses and amount of Assessed Taxes being
such as to place them far beyond the limits
of the Schedules. See Reports of Commission-
ers, and Answers of the Returning °dicers.
