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 Bridge, of Croydon, was expunged from the
list, and that of John King Dunbar, who was ob-
jected to by the Conservatives.
In the Bromley 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 Edwards being called he stated that he hail
no freehold in the churchyard, but that he took the
f.ces for burials, which he considered would entitle
him to a vote.

Mr. James, the agent for the Liberals, observed that
his friend Mr. Payne was very anxious to give Mr.
Edwards a living freehold, if he could, but, according
to his own showing, he had nothing but a dead one.
Claim disallowed.

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

Mr. James, on the part of the Liberals, objected to
the validity of the notice of objection, on the ground
that Mr. Shepherd, 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, Hackney-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 ought to be allowed.
Mr. SUADWELL was of a contrary opinion, and
allowed Mr. Ashcraft's claim to be entered on the list
of voters.

Mr. James observed that the opinion of the
Learned Barrister would, he believed, decide all the
objections in the St. George's list.
Mr. Payne said it would at least have the effect of
lightening the labours of all connected with the revi-
sion for the county of Middlesex. The Learned
Gentleman then proceeded with the other names in
the list of claimants of the parish of St. George, and
inserted all those names that were objected to by the
Conservatives.

The other lists were then proceeded with, but no-
thing of any interest occurred.
Mr. Shadwell will sit to morrow at the Green Man,
Bethnal-green, to revise the lists of the parishes of
Bethnal-green, Hackney, Christ Church, Shoreditch,
Norton Folgate, and Old Artillery Ground.
