L. Again, on the 12th of December, 1839, we find the
14lowing letter in the Times, from Mr. Greenwood, Se-
cretary to the Marylebone Loyal and Constitutional
•As'sociation :
" Sir,—l have at this moment ascertained that the

the Morning Herald of March 17, 1841, we find
%following. (amongst other statements) in the Report
0,
the:Loyal and Constitutional Association. (This re-
'l'R to the present Register):—
:_" .The Committee of Management, in making their
i".sotil Annual Report, have much pleasure in cong,ratu-
:tlng the members of the Loyal and Constitutional As-
°eiation on the progressive increase of Conservatism in
the borough.
yhis great improvement is not only attributable to
• 1,, late erection of houses of a superior class within the
'4cuoi, its of the borough, and which are occupied by persons
ilierespectability, intelligence, and wealth, but mainly to
the
great change in the opinion of a large portion of
v e constituency, whose experience has shown them the
their distinction between Whig and Radical promises and
fulfilment.
" The Committee beg to inform the members of the
Association, that during the six years of its existence,
e objections successfully made on the part of the Con-
servatives amount to 2,248, and the number of claims es-
tablished for persons whose names had been omitted by
Conservative
Overseers, is 374, making a total in favour of the
~onservative interest of 2,622.
;` The present register contains 11,570 electors, and
`',l these, the number that voted for the Conservative can-
clate is 2,828 ; and of those who voted for both his op-
Pe'"lts 2,601, thus leaving a Conservative majority of
-27. s ,

After congratulating them that their receipts ex-
ceeded th :h.- expenditure, and boasting of their taiumph
the Registration Court, the Report proceeds :

The Morning Herald, of the 22d of March iation,
noticing the Report. of the Warren-street Assoc more
(rfore mentioned, says, in speaking of it, " That a
lfiWent and barefaced attempt to impose upon the
*lectors of the borough and public credulity, than is
le.sl'ineed in it has, perhaps, never been known in the his-
' I_°rY of electioneering trickery. 'The Report then con-
lently assures the constituency that at the next elec-
tion the borough will be relieved from the stigma which
now attaches to it, of being the only metropolitan coned-
tuency which returns a Tory," and concludes with the
following positive untruth :—" That their boast is not
an idle one, is proved by the fact that Lord Teignmeuth,
already anticipating his,defeat, has prudently announced
-his intention of retiring from the borough."
Again, in the Herald of the 26th of March, the attack
''• upon the Report of the Warren-street Association,is
renewed in a long article. The following are extracts
TO show the fallacy of the inference which the Whigs
desire to be drawn from the table, we may observe that
44 Paddington the number now registered is 196 more
than in 1838, and this arises from the great number of
first rate houses erected in the most opulent parts of the
l'arish, and the Whig Register Association know to
their cost that while the register in Paddington shows
nn increase of 196 electors since 1838.. The Liberal
ranks in that parish have at the same time been sadly
thinned by the pulling down of small cottages, inhabited
by the lower class of voters, who in too many instances
follow in the wake of a leading, especially if he be an
lagitating, Radical Member. The cottages of these small
class voters have given place to the first-rate houses
alluded to above, the latter having, in fact, been built
'upon the very ground formerly occupied by those cot-
' cages. In consequence of these improvements, the Con-
servative majority in that parish alone may be now put
down
at least as 150, which will increase annually for
:several years. In Christ Church where the Whig-Radi-
cals had a majority of seventy-one, the increase on the re•
b'ister since 1838 is 111, arising chiefly from houses in
John's-wood, and its vicinity, which from their
•-•.llie must also be inhabited by those who have stine7
_tn g to lose ; and this, coupled with the fact that the
]few Conservative candidate has for many years been an
habitant of that district, and with the zeal and desire
e:xhibited by his neighbours of the humble class, when
the requisition to him was in the course of signature, will
ensure
at a future election a large majority for the good
cause.s In North Pancras district, several streets in
Somer's Town have been placed on the south district
since
1838, and yet the registered electors have increased
. owing to the mass of buildings which has taken place at
Camden Town of a respectable class, and which will
give the Conservatives there a large majority. If the
Reformers will take the trouble to inquire in Somer's
w;;;vn, where their stronghold was at the last election, it
