MIDDLESEX.

Mr. Shadwell, the barrister appointed to revise the
list of voters for the county of Middlesex, held his
Court to-day, at the New Globe Tavern, Mile End-
road, for the purpose of revising the list of voters for
the following parishes :—Bromley, Poplar, Lime-
house, Ratcliffe, Shadwell, St. George, Whitechapel,
Wapping, Mile End Old Town, Mile End New
Town, Tower Without, Tower of London, Trinity,
Minories, St. Botolph Without, Aldgate, St. Peter
ad Vincula, Stratford, Bow.
Mr. W. H. James appeared as the agent for the
Liberals, and Mr. J. Payne as that of the Conserva-
tives. _

-.
The overseer of the parish of Tower Without in-
formed the Revising Barrister that there was neither
claims or 'objections in that parish.
In the parish of Bromley, the name of Thomas
Mann Bric lge, of Croydon, was expunged from the
list, and th at of John King Dunbar, who was ob-
jected to b• y the Conservatives.
In the B romley list, a person of the name of Ed-
wards, the sexton, claimed to be inserted as a voter,
on the ground of having a freehold in the church-
yard.
On Mr liadwards being called he stated that he had
no freehold in the churchyard, but that he took the
fees for bur ials, which he considered would entitle
him to a vol-Ae.

Mr. Jam( , the agent for the Liberals, observed that
his friend 245 Payne was very anxious to give Mr.
Edwards a ving freehold, if he could, but, according
to his own sloowmg, he had nothing but a dead one.
Claim dis a .11owed.

Benjamin .Freelove Johnson claimed to be inserted
in the list of voters for five copyhold houses in the
parish of Br o mley, but, in consequence of a misde-
scription, the. claim was disallowed.
In the paria h of St. George, William Ashcraft, of
York-street, Covent-garden, claiming to be inserted
in the list or voters in respect of a share in nine
freeholders in, St. George's parish, was objected to by
the Conservai`ives.

Mr. James, on the part of the Liberals, objected to
the validity ol the notice of objection, on the ground
that Mr. She' )herd, the objector on the part of the
Conservatives, had not sufficiently described his place
of abode. He, had !described his residence to be 9,
Park-place, lat Lckney-fields, while at the present
moment there was no such place as Hackney-fields.
Mr. Payne,. on behalf of the Conservatives, sub-
mitted that the,' description was sufficient, and that the
objection oughtt to be allowed.
Mr. SHADT n! .LL was of a contrary opinion, and
allowed Mr. A .s:hcraft's claim to be entered on the list
of voters.

Mr. James. observed that the opinion of the
Learned Barr istPr would, he believed, decide all the
objections in thel St. George's list.
Mr. Payne said it would at least have the effect of
lightening thEt labours of all connected with the revi-
sion for the 'county of Middlesex. The Learned
Gentleman tb ,en proceeded with the other names in
the list of mants of the parish of St. George, and
inserted all th ose names that were objected to by the
Conservatives. .
The other 1 ists were then proceeded with, but no-
thing of any : interest occurred.
Mr. Shade ell will sit to morrow at the Green Man,
Bethnal-grea 1, to revise the lists of the parishes of
Bethnal-greet I, Hackney, Christ Church, ShoWitch,
Norton Fol. 3. te, and Old Artillery Ground.
