MARYLEBONEREGISTRATION

(THIS DAY.)
At eleven o'clock this morning the REVISING BARRIS-
TER took his seat upon the bench, when he inquired if
Mr. Laudet, whose vote had been objected to by Mr.
Greenwood yesterday, was present?
.Mr. Laudet appearing, the REVISING BARRISTER in-
quired whether he had made any application to the late
collector, from the 6th of April up to the time of his
death?

Mr. Laudet replied in the negative.
The REVISING BARRISTER said there was an interval
of six weeks, during which he could have tendered pay-
ment. This appeared to him to be a neglect on the part
of Mr. Laudet. The law held persons responsible
when there was a possibility of their complying with
its provisions.
In reply to Mr. Moylan, Mr. Laudet stated that
he had called at the house of the collector
a day or two after his death, and tendered
the amount of his taxes. At the time he did so he
was aware of his death, but he was under the im-
pression, as were a great many others, that as his books
must necessarily be in the hands of the executors, a
tender of the amount to them would prevent him from
being disfranchised. The lady whom he saw at Mr.
Northcote's, the late collector, referred him to
Mr. Laudet, but that gentleman had not
then been appointed, nor was he, until an
application had, been made to Sir James Graham, and
subsequently to Lord John Russell, by a large body of
the parishioners. Were it not for this application 1,500
persons would have been disfranchised, because Mr.
Laudet accepted the office six or seven days sooner
than it was otherwise determiried, in order that such a
lapse should not occur on the registry.
The REVISING BARRISTER inquired whether there
were many votes likely to be disputed under the same
circumstances as that of Mr. Laudet ?
Mr. Laudet—Very few ; he believed only that of
Mr. Crickmay, which was decided yesterday.
The REVISING BARRISTER said it appeared that Mr.
Laudet bad nearly two months to pay Mr. North-
cote, the late collector, and having neglected to do so,
the law could not be strained to enfranchise him,
although it might he the custom not to pay at so early

application had been made to him for the
tax, still that was no excuse for his not complying of
his own act with the provisions of the statute. Under all
the circumstances of the case he felt bound to strike the
name off the registry.
Mr. Ivimey applied to know whether the Court would
admit of an appeal.
The REVISING BARRISTER said the whole case hinged
upon a mere matter of tact—whether the taaes were
paid—without at all involving any point of law ; and
he therefore considered that he would be leaving him-
self open to a rebuke in the Court of Common Pleas if
he were to consent to an appeal.
