THE REGISTRATION.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY OF LOND ON.
(Before Mr. TAMLYN.)
ST. MICHAEL, CROOKED-LANE.
The first claim in this parish was that of John Cobley,
1, Fan-court, which was opposed by Mr. Goodeve, the
Conservative agent.
John David Towse, the vestry-clerk, having been sworn,
deposed that the claimant was rated to all the rates made
in the parish, from the 31st July 1834, to 31st July 1835.
The claimant said he paid 161. per annum rent, but did
not think the premises worth more than 121.
Mr. Towse—The Overseers did not return him, as he
was only rated at Si. a year. He has not paid rates for six
months before the 31st of July, and cannot claim to vote.
Mr. TAMLYN-Oh ! Mr. Towse, you are joining in the
opposition. Well, I think this claim is established.
Mr. Towse—No, Sir, I don't oppose him. (To the
claimant)—You see what you have rendered yourself liable
to. Your rates will be raised.
Mr. Trott---It is not so, Mr. Towse. Ido not like to
hear gentlemen intimidated in that way from pressing their
,claims.—Claim allowed.
The claim of William Bennett, a member of the Society
of Friends, residing at 48, Cannon-street, was allowed.
There were three other claims, but it appeared that none
of the parties had resided in the premises for twelve months
previous to the 31st July last, as required by the Act, and
they were consequently disallowed.
ST. MICHEL'S, CORNHILL.
The claim of Mr. Archibald Williams, of St. Michael's-
a;,',ey, was opposed by Mr. Rowcroft.
m):. Trott—Perhaps the opposite party may have some
difficult t-iia;stion to put, which may demolish the claim at
once.
—Realty, the g
own cases so well, entlemen demolish their
Mr. Roweroti,-
t;lo,t I do not like to interfere.
The claimant provb ci occupation for twenty years, and
payment of a rent of 60t: per annum. All the rates were
paid, but he could not say' positively when the assessed
taxes had been paid. The coLlector of assessed taxes was
sent for, and in the meantime the es,
ge was allowed to stand
over. The claim was subsequently aliOwed.
Mr. Fletcher, of Cornbill, claimed to he registered, but
was objected to by Mr. Trott, on the pare of Mr. Heppell,
on the ground that he was not rated.
The Vestry Clerk proved that he was not rated for
twelve months.
Mr. Rowcroft asked the claimant what rent he paid?
Mr. Fletcher-1501. a year.—Claim disallowed.
Mr. Rowcroft felt himself imperatively called upon to
make an observation upon the extraordinary inconsistency
of the conduct of the opposite party, who professed to be
desirous of extending the elective franchise, and then en-
deavoured io prevent a gentleman, occupying premises for
which he paid a-rent of 1501. a-year, from registering his
vote. He thoci.,ght such conduct was extremely incon-

sistent.
Mr. Trott would only observe that inasmuch as the ob-
ject of the party for whom he appeared, was to prevent per-
sons from voting at elections who were not etitled to- do
so, he was at liberty to oppose whoever he believed to be so
circumstanced. Whether they had done right in preventing
a person (who it now appeared had no right to have his
name inserted on the list of voters), from being placed there,
was for the public to decide.
Stephen Nicholson Barber, jun., was objected to by Mr.
Trott. The claimant's name was not upon the rate, and
the objection was allowed.
A great number of objections taken by the Conservative
party were allowed, the persons objected to not having ap-
peared when called upon. Some objections by the opposite
party were also allowed for the same cause.
(Before Mr. CRAIG. )

There were no cases standing over for judgment, and Mr,
Craig at once proceeded with the objections to claimants in
the list of St. Botolph, Aldersgate—there were 54 taken
by the Conservatives, six of which were disposed of this
morning against them. There was no point raised of the
slightest public importance.

INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

John C'hristinas applied on his petition to be discharged.
The insolvent was unopposed. From his statements it ap-
peared that he had taken the benefit of the Act at Nor-
wich in 1827, that he had applied again to the Commis-
sioner in 1833, when his petition was dismissed. Notwith-
standing this, the insolvent had accepted upwards of 300/.
worth of bills for the accommodation of certain persons.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, in a sharp tone—lnsolvent,
will you never learn experience. What could induce you,
after having been twice a prisoner for accepting accommo-
dation bills, still to persevere in that practice ?
The insolvent could give no satisfactory reply, but not
being opposed he was ordered to be discharo' ed.
Charles Wallingham, who stated himself to be a Lieu-
tt,nant in the Navy, on half pay, was opposed by Mr.
WooDaoFFE on the part of Messrs. Chard, the Navy
agents. The insolvent had been twice discharged under
the Insolvent Act, first in 1821, and again in 1833. On
both these occasions, the Court ordered part of his pay
to go towards the payment of his debts. In the petition
the insolvent had now presented he had concealed the fact
of his insolvency in in), when he was remanded for six
months, for making away with part of his property. On
being asked the reason of the omission, the insolvent stated
that he had quite forgotten it.
Mr. WOODROFFE contended, that the order for hearing
ought to be discharged, on account of the non-insertion of
the insolvency of 1821.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER concurred in this, and di-
rected the order for hearing the petition to be dismissed,
and the insolvent to be remanded to prison.

IRELAND-DUBLIN, SEPT. 28.

( From a Morning Paper Correspondent.)
EXTERMINATION OF ROMAN CATHOLIC TENANTRY.
The plan for colonizing Irish estates exclusively with Pro-
testant settlers, for devising which the country has been in-
debted to the inventive genius of the late Brunswick Club,
though it has failed as a great national undertaking, is still ope-
rating in several counties with frightful severity, and silent but
appalling success. Its adoption, particularly since the passing of
the Reform Bill, has been systematically resorted to by the Tory
landlords in almost all the pror races, as the most effective counter-
rise to the weight of political power conferred on the Liberal in-
terest by the provisions of that popular measure. The extermina-
ting process is as certain an attendant on the defeat of a Con-
servative candidate in an Irish county as even a petition to Par-
liament, acid bids fair in a few years, unless checked by legisla-
tive interfeeence, to supersede the latter device altogether.
This, considering the great advantage it possesses over the
Macedonian systeel of electioneering warfare, both in point of
certainty and economy, is not at all to be wondered at. Few of
our Tory strategists are as wealthy as Phillip, and, even were
they, a committee of the Hoose of Commons cannot always
be depended on for setting aside a majority even of Popish
voters. To get rid of them, therefore, in the first in-
stance, is by far the safest and most effectual method ; and to
this the Tories have at length fully opened their eyes. The
initiative in the new science has been made, but on an humble
scale, in other districts in Ireland : but to the landowners of
Carlow belongs the honour of advancing the discovery by
a series of bold and extensive experiments. Lord Beres-
ford has, in this respect, set a noble and praiseworthy ex-
ample. His Lordship has the merit of having recently esta-
blished within that county the first normal school for the pro-
pagation of pure Conservatism. A village, inhabited exclusively
by Protestants drafted from the head-quarters of Orangeism,
has for the last year risen on the ruins of the Popish hamlets
on his Lordship's estate. The houses of the new settlers are
all built and fortified on the most approved model of barrack
architecture, and the inmates arc plentifully supplied with
arms and military stores at his Lordship's expense, the only
concern of the residents being confinded to the munition de
bouche. Lord Beresford's. example has already had many
imitators, and the proscribing system is now in active
and general operation. Its application is not left to
the great proprietors alone. Every man with the slightest
pretensions to the rank of gentleman, who happens to be
the purchaser of a few acres, is emulous of similar re-
nown, and aspires to be the owner of a Protestant colony. A
case of extermination on a small scale, has just been commu-
nicated to me, which, for intensity of zeal, and fixedness of re-
solution on the part of the gentleman-proprietor, deserves to be
noticed. Mr. Brewster, a Barrister, residing in Dublin—the
same, I believe, whom the late Government raised to the rank of
King's Counsel—has given all the Catholic tenants on a
small property of his in Carlow—a late acquisition, I under-
stand—notice to quit. Twenty.four families are stated by my
informant to have been ordered to the road by the 29th in-
stant. Every effort has been made to prevail on the new land-
lord to alter his determination, but in vain ; he continues inexo-
rable. An offer has been made to advance the rent from 20s.
to 555., but it would not do. The, reply is stated to be "No ;
if you gave me 51., I'll send you off, and stock it with Pro-
testants." The only cause assigned by the tenantry
for this harsh proceeding is, that two of them, named
Harney, had votes, and refused to support Bruen and Ka-
vanah at the late election. By the way, happen to know
that Mr, Brewster was conducting counsel to these gentle-
men on that occasion. It may, however, be enough to know,
that they (poor people) are all Catholics. It is further men-
tioned that on their entreating permission to remain in their
houses during the approaching winter, they received for answer,
" Let me see the man of you that will have even a blanket there
after tea 29th of September I" This statement I have on the au-
thority of is. person mho says "it can be substantiated, every
word of it by affidavit," I believe that there is no humane in-
dividual in either country, but would regret, for the sake of
bufflaz nature, to find this represeaatio verified, but I grieve
to say, Po many instances of the kind occur in upland to ren-
der it at all iwpfpbable. The substance of this comippoica-
don., have reason to 4,0 w, will appear in a Dublin paper,
with the Atlavits attached, #3,14 Opod Mr. Brewster have
grounds fur &off atiicting i,L, I 741 ko 'Rost happy in doing
justice to the LOMA coleman, by sending his'clisplaimer to
the office of the Morning Chronieep But I rather suppose
the gentleman in question will rely on his high character, and
unite with the Duke of Newcastle in insisting that A man
has a right to do as he likes with his own,"
