THE REGISTRATION.

CITY OF LONDON.
COMMON PLEAS, GUILDHALL.—WEDNESDAY.
(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)
Mr. Benjamin S. Mountcastle's name was removed from
the circumstance of the overseer inserting in his rate-book
the name of claimant's brother. The party claiming had
occupied the premises for a term of fife years, had paid
rates, and was not aware, until the objection was made in
Court, but that the premises were rated in his own name.
Mr. Rowcroft objected to the name of George Mande-
ville, 7, Saville-buildings, being retained on the list, upon
the ground of his occupying a house, the rates of which had
been compounded for with the parish by the landlord.
An arrangement had been entered into to pay for this
house and others the sum of 11. 10s. quarterly, but, upon
ti:e examination of the collector, it appeared that a greater
sum should have been paid according to the assessment
than the contract agreed for.
The name of this person, as also four others similarly
circumstanced, were expunged from the list.

COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.
BOROUGH OF THE TOWER HAMLETS.

The list of St. Leonard, Shorediteh, contained 2,800
voters, beingtab,,ut 600 more than last year. There were
76 claims: arid only four objections.

RIGHT OF ;,01/OEUS_ TO VOTE.

Mr. William Faiicloth appe.2red to support his claim as
the occupier of an apartment used !iv him as a counting-
house, in a dwelling-house inhabited by LIS 14odlord. He
claimed as a lodger.
Mr. Ware, the vestry clerk of Shoreditch, opposed the
claim, on the ground that a lodger was not eligible to be
rated, and, therefore, could not in law claim to be rated.,
Mr. MERIVALE said, that though the Reform Act gave
the holders of rateable property a power to claim to be
rated, the case of a lodger stood alone. There must be a
distinct occupancy of a distinct building.
The Revising Barristers sat yesterday, at the Vestry
room, Limehouse, to revise the lists of All Saints, Poplar
St. Anne's, Limehouse, Ratcliffe ; St. Paul's, Shadwell ;
Bromley, St. Leonard's ; and St. Mary, Stratford-le-Bow.

The overseer produced the poor-rate 'cooks, and prayed
that the claimant had been duly rated, and that the rates
Lad been paid. The assessor of the Y,ing's taxes was not
-cal!ed by either party.
TOSINQUET stated his rmoevis for holding the claim
valid.—Vote allowed.
Dr. Moore. and several other Prebendaries, were ob-
jected to on the ground of non-residence for the last six
months previous to the 31st of July. It was admitted
that he lived elsewhere, but he bad left his furniture in
the house.

Mr. Wilkinson submitted that this was not a residence
within the meaning of the:Act.

Mr. BOSANQUET considered it a sufficient residence,
the house being kept ready for the reception of the family.
Vote allowed.
The whole of the names of the Prebendaries were then
retained, the objections being nearly similar, and over-
ruled.

she became a termagant, and abused him, and had recently
taken out proceedings against him for the debt in the
Court of Requests. Since the prisoner's first examination
before the magistrates it has been ascertained that the old
woman had preferred the charge of bigamy against him
solely with the view of having him taken into custody, so
that when he was liberated he might be arrested upon a
process issued against him at her suit from the Court of
Requests, he having previously kept out of the jurisdiction
of that Court. Yesterday having been appointed for his re-
examination on the charge of bigamy, and no prosecutor ap-
pearing, the magistrates were informed that two bailiffs
were waiting
,t the door to make a capture of Allen the
moment he was liberated.

Mr. JEREMY, upon,being made acquainted with the fact,
directed the bailiffs to be called in before him, and, address-
ing them, said that the woman Burgin had evidently made
a criminal charge against the accused for the mere purpose
of insuring his being arrested by the bailiffs, who were then
ready to pounce upon him.

The bailiffs at once admitted that they attended at the
office for the purpose above-mentioned, upon which Mr.
JEREMY severely commented upon the conduct of the
woman in bringing so serious a charge against a man, and
having him incarcerated as a criminal, with a view to serve
her own purpose and have him arrested. The Magistrate
then desired the bailiffs at their peril to take the accused,
remarking at the same time that while within the jurisdic-
tion of that office they would not be justified in arresting
him, particularly as the whole proceedings taken against
him by the woman who preferred the charge of bigamy
wore instituted with the express intention of having him
made a prisoner on a civil process, from the Court of Requests.
The bailiffs then withdrew from the Court, and Allen
succeeded in getting away without being arrested.
