THE REGIST

RATION.-(THIS DAY•)

CITY OF LONDON.
Messrs. TANILYN and CRAIG,the Revising Barristers, sat at
Guildhall this morning, for the purpose of completing some
lists left over from Saturday last.
The claim of Mr. Cotton was disallowed, on the grouna
that he occupied the house for which he claimed as one of the
Directors of the Company, and not either as tenant or owner.
The claims of George Broom and William Hutchins were
also disallowed, on the ground of a want of evidence of the
service of the claims upon tiit overseers. A young man swore
that he served a paper on one of them, but did not know its
contents. The overseers denied the i-eceipt of any paper at all.
TORY TACTICS.
The next case called on was that of Mr. pc Mole, the clerk
of the Merchant Tailors' Company. The claim was objected
to b Mr. Trott, on the round of a want of sufficent rating',
and yof evidence of occupagtion. The case was part h card last
week, and postponed till to-day.
Mr. Rowcroft said before the case was gone into, he wool&
take the opportunity of setting the public right upon a subject
connected with that Court, which appeared to be much
conceived. He (Mr. R.) had perhaps, on some occasions,-
spoken rather harshly upon what appeared to him to be a deter-
mination, upon the other side, to object to the claims of all
persons whose respectability was unquestionable, and to Bur
port all those claims which could not exactly come under that
description. Now, if he had dwelt too much upon that sub-
ject, he was ready to apologize for it, and it gave him great
gunireat
pleasure to be enabled to afford the other side an opport
of showing that he was wrong, by their withdrawing all fur'
ther opposition to the claim of Mr. De Mole. He made the
offer in perfect fairness, and he would withdraw any expressiee
that he might have used on former occasions, which might bed
at all supposed to reflect upon the conduct of those engage
on the opposite side ; but that only provided they witbdre"...,
the opposition to Mr. De Mole's claim. Of that gentlernao
he would only say there was not a more respectable solicitor
in the city of London.
Mr. Trott would not then stop to inquire whether Mr. Res"
croft was or was not, justified in the use of the language
which he had sometimes used on forrtier occasions le
that Court. From the fact which had transpired, the public
would be enabled to form an opinion as to the justice or mills-
tice of Mr. ltowcroft's language, and to decide which partY
was right ; and to their decision he would most willingly teale
the whole matter. The offer just made by Mr. Rowcroft was
not, however, sufficiently tempting as to induce him to with-
draw his opposition to the claim of Mr. De Mole, which be
had made upon public grounds.
Mr. Rowcroft—Then that refusal only confirms the op
iniea
I have already expressed as to the motives and conduct of tbil
self-styled Liberal party.
Mr. Trott—You have just withdrawn the expressions yol't
formerly used relative to their conduct.
Mr."Rowcroft—l withdrew them conditionally—( A laugho'
but after what has now been said and done, I do not withdraw'
one syllable of them.
Mr. Trott—Will you withdraw the claim of Mr. De
Mole ?—( A laugh.)
Mr. Rowcroft—Mr. De Mole is now out of town, not being
aware that his case was coming on to.:day, and I am not pre,
pared with the necessary evidence.* I shall not proceed /In
ther with the case. I leave to my opponents the odium
persisting in the paltry objections they have made to the al'
of so respectable a gentleman.
Mr. Trott—You know he is not rated. • I
Mr. Rowcroft—Will you withdraw your opposition, If
prove that he is ?
Mr. Trott—No • prove your case.
Mr. Rowcroft—Then I abandon the daft.
The claim was disallowed by the Court.
The remaining lists then received the BARRISTERS' SignlV
tune, and the registration of London was terminated.
Messrs. TAMLYN and CRAIG then proceeded to Wes-ster, to revise the lists of that city. the

me it was brought on last week.
