REGI~' {ATIVN.

HERTS.—WATFORD.
The Reverend Henry Dannis claimed for the perpe
tual curacy of Chipperfield and stated he was appointed

Upon C:osz:-examination he admitted that the land
was given by Mr. Parsley, and that the district church
of St. Paul's, Chippetfield, bad been erected thereon,
and the remainder of such land was consecrated for
the church-yard, in which eight bodies were buried—
that the burial fees were not paid to him but to the
Vicar—that the Churchwardens received the pew rents,im
amounting to 35/. per annum, and paid the same over
to claimant.
It was argued against the claimant that there was no
house or glebe land attached to the incumbency, and
that under the provision of the Church Building Acts,
the Minister was not entitled to such a freehold as
would qualify him to be placed upon the Registe-,
Mr. SUDDEN (the Revising Barrister) held that the
claimant had a freehold for life in the church and church-
yard , a
andnd rent
for g
that
z ihg on the latter,
received pew -rcii t s out of he
former, his
claim
must be retained.
BERKAMPSTEAD.

John Girton, of Hemel Hempsted, was obj'eted to
by the Conservatives on the ground of his appointment
to sell new postage stamps; and this being a case of dis-
qualification (the right to the freehold being admitted),
the objector proceeded to prove that the claimant sold
penny-post labels—that the words " licensed to yell
stamps" were printed over his door, and that the claim-
ant admitted he had a license from the Commissioners,
but could not find it.
Conservative •
Mr. Grover, for the ..objector, argued
that under the recent Act It Parliament for regulatincr
the penny postage, and onder. the other Acts for the
management or stamps, the nelayttnt svas disqualified.
Mr. WALLINGER (the Revising Barrister) decided
that as the claimant was a purchaser of stamps, and
paid for same previous to te I"g them, and as he was
not a sub-distributor and accountable to the Commis-
sioners of Stamps, and wtas not employed by them in
the collection, manag
cm:fled from r?ceipt of the stamp
duties, he was not difqn hving placed on the
register.—Name retained.

MARIE ANTOIN .—The beautiful and
ETTE
unfortunate Marie Antoinette, lively as was her disposition,
and fond as she was of gaiety, did not find either the
duties inconsistent with
i
duties or gaieties of athe labours
of the needle. She was edxtryrcreel3 fond of needle-work,
and during her happiest and gayest was daily to be
fuund at her cmbroidery-fra. . t 1-1
