THE ItEGISTRNTIONS.

MA RYLEBONE.
Yesterday Mr. FALCONER again resumed his Court,
at the, Court-House, St. IVlarylebone, and proceeded
wiih the adjourned cases in connection with the lists of
that parish.
Messrs. Iviiney and Allen were again at their posts
as toe representatives of the Borough of Marylebone
Reform and Registration Association, to protect and
watch over the Liberal interest, and Messrs. Greenwood
and Rook for the Conservatives.
George Richard Naylor was objected to by the To-
ries, upon the ground that he had not paid the whole of
the ttxes for which he was liable.
It appeared that the person objected to had removed
from one house to another at Midsummer 1839. and
by some mistake, either on his own or the Collector's
part, he hlid only been rated from the Michaelmas fol-
:owmg. whieli rate had been demanded by and paid to
the C,i!leetor.

Mr. Greenwood argued that Mr. Naylor not having
paLl all the taxes really due in respect of the house, he
1.:ot entitled, under the provisions of the Reform
Act. to be placed upon the register.
Me. Ivimey defended the party objected to, and con-
tended that he havinz paid all that was charged by the
collector, was quite sufficient to qualify him to vote. It
was not the ratepayer who male the rate, and he haviug
complied with the demand of the collector, had done all
1 at he could pos,ibly do.
Mr. FAccosuu sail the only question he had to con-
r was, whether the responsibility of payment of the
pr.vvr amount of rate, t%'sted with the party objected to
cr with the collector, who made the demand upon him.
Mr. Greenwood said it was evident that a three-
quarters' rate was due from the premises, and but one
half year had been paid, consequently the one quarter's
.a7ears being due precluded Mr. Naylor's right to be on
ae register. _ _ _

Mr. FALCONER said lie thought the position of Mr.
Ivitvey was right, although there was some difficulty
:lbout the ease. It had been said :ruly that Mr. Nay-
lor had pia all that had been demanded of him, and
tiien arose the question if that was all that was required
of him. Ile thought he had done so to the best of his
ability, and that therefore he ought not to be rendered
to have his name struck from the register, al-
t'hou4li he has no doubt still liable for the one quarter's
aTrca"F. T;ie latter, however, was not a question it
would be his duty to try, and under all the circumstances
le felt bound to disallow the objection.
Name retained.

;R,-,pert Hobart was objected to by the Reformers,
the ground that his father, John Hobart, was the
perotp entitled to be on the register and not him.
Tit:, qu,nit ion of identity involving some singular

incidents.
A witness v•as examined on the part of the Re
formers, and proved calling at the house No. 12, Shoe' -
street. He saw a s.nut elderly man, who said his nails;
was .10Ln Hobart, ann. that Robert Hobert was his son,
but did not live there, it,: he was a gentleman's servant.
Mr. Knight, a poor-rate collector,corroborated Mr,
Gbson's evidence with respect to the appearance of
Mr. Hobart, but said he had always been on the rate
as Robert, even at the house he held in Carlyle-street,
from which he removed to his present residence.
Mr. Greenwood said that it was Robert, and not
John, that was entitled to vote, and that he was a
Young man.
, al‘_l:. Knight denied this, and said if a young man
h I:,!ted, he had no right to have done so.
M • FALCONER said there appeared to be consider-
able doubt as to the identity of the person really entitled
to vote •
' and, unless it could be more clearly proved, he
could not well come to a decision.
Mr. Allen observed
, served that if the case was deferred a
snort time, he could
the matter at rest witPhroduce an elector who would set
ing been assented to, respect to that point. This hay-
.opcned,
when
a later period of the day the
case was re•opcned, nhethe person alluded to was
produced, and stated that knew Robert Hebart,who
