DEVONPORT.

The revision of the lists for this borough commenced
on Tuesday before J. L. Stock, Esq., and was not con-
cluded till Wednesday afternoon. The objections were
very heavy, but the cases comprised few facts of more
than local interest. Mr. R. R. Oram appeared for the Re-
formers, and Mr. John Beer for the Tories. The follow-
ing is the result:—

Liberals
Ex puuged.

Tories
Expunged.

STONE HOUSE.'
This town is united with Devonport in returning tsNo
Members to Parliament, and although decidedly Liberal
in its politics, it has again added to its numbers. J. L.
Luncena, Esq., held his court on Wednesday, when Mr.
Oram attended for the Liberals, and Mr. John Beer for
the Tories.

'the case of most interest, as upon it turned the events
of the day, was that of Mr. John Commin, who was
objected to by the Conservatives.
Mr. Ortsin raised a question as to the validity of the
notice—first, because Mr. Commin, in the overseer's list,
appeared as Common; and, secondly, that the address of
the claimant being omitted in the notice, and that notice
being forwarded through the post-office, the notice fell
to the ground, and the party objected to was not before
the Court, inasmuch as the objector was, by sec. 100, re-
quired to set out the place of abode as described in the
list, and the clause referred to particularly mentioned
that the notice, when forwarded through the post-office,
should he directed to such place of abode, &c.
Mr. BEER having replied,
The COURT, after having reviewed the particulars of
the case, said that with, regard to the first objection
taken by Mr. Oram, it was of opinion, that it came
within the interpretation clause of the 6 Vic. c. 18,
sec. 101, that no misnomer in any notice shall abridge
or prevent the operation of the Act with respect to any
person, place, or thing, provided such person, place, or
thing, shall be so denominated in such notice as to be
commonly understood, and inasmuch as Mr. Commin
could only be understood as the Mr. Commin described
in the overseers' list, be held the objection taken by Mr.
Oram as not tenable ; but with regard to the other ob-
jection, the absence of the place of abode so clearly re-
quired by the Act, that he held to be fatal, and the ob-
jection to the claimant could not be entertained.
The whole of the objections by the Conservative s
being of a similar description, consequently fell to the
ground.
The result of the revision was as follows :
Objected to by Liberals
Expunged.
The el titns were about equal.

LISKEARD.

Mr. Merrivale has held his court for the revision of
his lists in this borough, and about twenty new votes
were placed on the list without objection, a large ma-
jority of them being Liberals.

WINDSOR.
The revision of the electoral lists for New Windsor,
and for that part of the parish of Clewer within the
borough, took place on Saturday, in the Town-hall,
before C. S. Whitmore, Esq. Mr. C. T. Voules, soli-
citor, attended on the part of the Conservative interest.
No party attended on behalf of the Liberals. There
were only six claims made by the Conservatives, five of
which were allowed. There were but two objections,
both of which were sustained. According to the re-
vised lists the number of electors now on the register is
732, being 67 more than at the termination of the revi-
sion last year.

'FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE CAMDEN TOWN
RAILWAY STATION.—On Saturday morning an accident
of a most frightful character, and which if is expected
will terminate fatally, occurred at the Camden Town
railway-station, to a carman named J. Mills, aged
1 twenty -three, living at 15, Peter's-lane, Cow-cross, under
the subjoined particulars. It appears, that as early as
between five and six o'clock, the unfortunate man, with
others, was engaged in moving luggage, &c., at the
station, and whilst so employed, he by some unaccount-
able means got jammed between two trucks, and received
such injuries as to render his immediate removal to the
hospital necessary. He was placed under the care of
Dr. Quain, the house physician, by whom it was ascer-
tained that the unfortunate victim had sustained a severe
injury in the abdomen, besides other internal injuries,
:o as to render his recovery doubtful. He remains at
present in a very precarious condition.
A Tmcg.—The following ingenious trick was last
week endeavoured to be played off on Taylor and
Bowley, Charing-cross. A stout man, about 40 years
of age, entered the shop, and expressed a wish to pur •
chase a large quantity of boots and shoes, at a reduced
price, for the purpose of shipment; at the same time to
prove that he was in the habit of doing business of this
nature, he produced invoices of goods had in a similar
way, from Gundry's, Soho-square, and other respectable
West-end houses. A parcel having been selected, a price
was agreed upon, upon condition a tertian other quantity
was added to it at a much lower rate, to make up fir
what was considered too high a price for the first lot.
An invoice being asked for and given, the money for the
second lot was offered, with the promise of sending for
the others in half an hcur, but upon being told that one
parcel could not be taken without the other, or a suffi-
cient deposit left upon the second, he walked off much
disconcerted, stating that he would send for them all.
Upon inquiry, it has been found in many cases he has
succeeded in this way in obtaining parcels of goods for
nne-third their value, wnich it is feared the possession of
the invoices unguardedly given to him will much fa-
cilitate.
REFORM AT THE POLICE CounTs.---A circular
order from Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, has
been received at the dill:Tent Poltee Courts, directing
attention to a clause in the Police Courts' Act, which
specifies tep o'clock in the morning as the time for
commencing business, and intimating that in future the
magistrates, clerks, and officers would be expected to
attend punctually at that hour. The order has, no
doubt, been issued in consequence of well-founded
complaints that some of the magistrates are in the habit
of keeping the suitors :.nd others waiting for their pre-
sence an hour or two aft l. the oppointed time.
