THE LATE FIRE AT WAPPING.
Mr. Scott Reynolds, whose premises were almost
wholly destroyed in June last, was objected to for want
of sufficient occupation.
Mr. Blunt said he objected to Mr. Reynolds's name
being retained on the list, because, after the late fire, the
site of his premises was a perfect open space, and they
had not yet been rebuilt.
Mr. FALCONER observed that similar cases were to be
found in the Scotch Reports, and one had been decided
in the New Windsor case, in which it was held that the
pulling down of a part of a house, for the purpose of re-
building it, was not a di,:quabfication.
Mr. Walton said Mr. Reynolds was not only going
to rebuild the premises but also to enlarge them,and the
contracts had been entered into with the builders.
Mr. FALCONER said be should disallow the objection,
and retain Mr. Reynolds's name.
The following is the result of the day's proceedings,
which did not terminate till five o'clock :—Objections
allowed, 74 ; disallowed, .59 ; withdrawn, 45. Claims
allowed, 11 ; disallowed, 7.
It is expected the revision of the lists will be con-
cluded to-day.
