MARYLEBONE REGISTRATION

The Revising Barrister held his court, by djourn-
ment, yester.b.y morning, at the vestry room of St Pan-
e; a ; parish, Gordon-square, for the revision of the is of
vot. rs for this district.

Mr. John Edward Beale, of No. 2, Gresse-street, was
objected to by the Conservatives on the ground of not
having paid his rates. In support of the objection, Mr.
Greenwood produced the collector's book, in which it
was stated that Mr. Beale, of No. 12, Gresse-street, had
not paid his rates.
111 r. Ivimy showed that the premises out of which the
vote arose were situate at No. 2, and that the rates had
been paid there.
Mr. Beale complained of his being compelled to attend
either through the carelessness of the collector, or in
consequence of Mr. Greenwood not having closely ex-
amined the list before making the objection, and trusted
the Court would order costs. _ _

The REVISING BARRISTER said, as Mr. Beale was not
prepared with his rate receipts, he did not feel justified
in awarding c ,sts.
Mr.Crickney was objected by the Conservative agent
because of not baying paid his rates. As this case, in a
great measure, tended to affect no less than 1,500 inha
bitants of St. Pancras, much anxiety was manifested as
to the result.

It appeared that, on the 28th of May, the collector of
assessed taxes for the district died, and it was not till the
10th of July that his successor was appointed, and even
then only through the strong representations of the
parishioners, who feared that as only about ten days
remained to make the payment necessary to quality
them to vote, the greater number of those who had not
paid previous to the death of the collector, amounting to
arly 1,500, would be all disfranchised. •
Mr. Laurent, the present collector, stated that pi e
vious to his appointment on the 10th of July there had
been no person since the death of his predecessor to re-
csive the assessed taxes, although he understood there
were numerous itiquiries as to. who was to receive them.
Within three days of the time of his appointment he
nt letters to all the 1,500 persons, stating that he was
ready to receive the taxes. About seven days only re-
,rained from the date of those letters until the last day
for payment.
Mr. Crickney stated that he was compelled to leave
town on business of an imperative nature, and on his re-
urn his servant handed him Mr. Lem-tiles letter, men-
tioning the appointment, upon which he immcdiatel
went to pay the, taxes, but found he was too late.
The REVISING BARRISTER held that a suffit keit notice
tad been afforded. It was the duty of the servant to
nave forwarded the notice to Mr. Crickney. It might
seem a hard ease to thus deprive him of his franchise,
but as the law now stood he was compelled, although
reluctantly, to refuse placing his name upon the registry
Object'on allowed.
The next ease was that of Mr. Laudet, who was also
°fleeted to by the Conservatives under precisely similar
circumstances.

He stated, in reply to the objection, that he had been
out of town between the 10th and 20th of July and pre-
vious to that he had mad.' repeated applications to find
out to whom he was to pay his taxes, but without avail.
The IiEVIqNG BARRISTER said that, much as
regretted rejecting the rilme of a person without any
fault of his own, still it .tid not seem to him that he
peuld place his rame on the regis;ry. However, as it
wai a case involving a large majority of the votes of the
district, he shOuld deter giving judgment finally until
to• morrow morning, when, in case the decision was ad-
verse to Mr. Laudet's claim, he should allow of an
appeal.

EAST SURREY REGISTRATION.
Ths Revising I3arrister, S. C. C. Fyshe, com-
menced the revi:io , for the above portion of the county
of Surrey, at the Town-hall. Reigate, yesterday.
Messrs. Drummond awl Chrees attended as the Con-
servative agents ; Mr. Jeans appeared as the agent for
the Surrey Reform Asseciation, and Mr. It. Russell at-
tended on behalf of the free trade party. The Learned
Barrister went through the lists of the whole of the
parishes, but none of the cases involved any new point,
or any question of importance to the public. The next
court 'Ala be held at. Croydon on Wednesday, at eleven
o'clock.

The Fall and Coon ,ss Cowp r left Panshanger,
their seat in }:erts, on Saturday iasa on a tour of visits.
SIR ROBERT PEEL AT 110 ME.— On Wednesday
last about two hundred neig4bours, servants, and other
friends of Sir Robert Peet, were entertained by the Right
'Hon. B troret and his lady, near his residence at Dra‘ -
ton Manr, at din .er and t al. After dinner the numbers
greatly inereasert, and dancing, besides a variety of rus-
tic games and p isaimes, commenced. Sir Robert and
his lady se .t.nt d t , enjoy the festivities as heartily as any
person pr aent. The (lir was very unfavourable. but in
the evening the weather ellared up, and contributed
much to the e tjoytuent of all present. The kind and
affable manner in which Sir Robert and his lady entered
into the e tjoyment of his party diffused general happi-
ness.— Birminaham Journal,
ANDOVER.—CONCEALED TREASURE.—Some alter-
ations bAng found necessary to an ancient dwelling-
house in the High-street, the workmen, in removing tile
bricks from the bottom of a cl i urtey, sere agreeably
surprised by finding several gold c&n o gr- at antiquity.
It is conjectured they were cuncealed by the removal of a
brick and replacing it, nearly two centuries since. Two of
the paces are about the size of the prerent half-crown,
hut much thittn r ; they were coined in the reigns of
James I. and Charles L, and are in good preservation,
having apparently lain dormant almost from the time of
their issue. It would appear they ware deposited in their
hiding-p!ace wrapped in linen, but which was entirely
decayed, leaving only a decayed cover of dust about the
coins.—Hampshire Independent.
The paragraphs which have appeared in the English
papers, stating that saloons were to be provided on the
Eastern Counties line for the accommodation of smokers,
have attracted much attention on the Continent, which
is but natural, as there every male traveller is by habit
a consumer of bigars. The example will most likely be
extensively followed in Germany and Holland, should
the system be found to answer the expectations of the
Eastern Counties C. mpany. Without wishing to inter-
fere with the tastes and pursuits of the public, we think.
however, that smakirg on railways ought not to be en-
couraged, simply on the ground that it must be more or
less dangerous. With a strong current of air passiag
through railway carriages in motion, there must always
be a chance of ignition in the case of clothing and other
eflammable articles which may happen to he loosely in
the way. The accident on the Versailles Railway a few
years since, from fire,
should operate as a ceution to rail-
way beards with regard to smoking. The paint are
varnish were found, on that occasion, to contribia, freely
to the melancholy and extensive loss of life that took
place.
BORDERY AND SUICIDE.—On Friday morning a
young woman, named Elizabeth Wilson, servant of all
work, in the employ of Mr. Ledger, baker, of SA an-lime,
loatherhithe, committed suicide by hanging herself on
her master's premises, under the following extraordinary
oiremnstances: —For some time pest Mr. Ledger had on
veri ors ecie sions missed a geed deal of money from
-is cash box, and the ebstraetien of sovereigns and half
sovereigns at last became so frequent, that he marled his
money and endeavoured to trace the thief, but without
success. On Friday morning a seed cake was missed,
and on search being nude was found in the girl's bax,
together with several marked coins, and other articles
which had been missed. Mr. Ledger then sent for her
mother, and the young woman appeared greatly excite d
On her mother's arrival she was sought for and could not
be found for some time. At last she was discovered at
the rear of the premises, suspended by the neck to a lore
made fast to a beam. She was immediately cut doe n,
was quite extinct; a surgeon who was called in
said she life
had been dead about an hour. The deceased
but
was 19 years of age.
