CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.

REVISION OF VOTERS.—THIS DAY.
The Revising Barrister, Mr. TAMLTN, took his seat this
morning at the usual hour.
DRAPER'S COMPANY.
Mr. TAMLYN said the case of a claimant, Lord Lowther, had
been partly heard last night, and it stood over to this morning
for proof of evidence.
Mr. Trott—And proof of authority.
Mr. W. H. Sawyer, who acted as clerk to Mr. Lawford,
the clerk of the Company, stated that he had an authority,
but contended that he was not bound to produce it.
Mr. TAMLYN would give no decision as to whether proof of
authority was necessary or not, but he would recommend Mr.-
Sawyer to produce his authority.
Mr. Sawyer then handed up a paper, signed by a person
whom Mr. Sawyer stated to be a confidential friend of Lord
Lowther.
Mr. Trott objected to the authority, as not being signed by
Lord Lowther himself.
Mr. Sawyer contended there was nothing in the Act re-
quiring him to produce an authority ; independently of which
Lord Lowther was not in England at present.
Mr. TAMLYN, after looking into the Act, decided that the
name of Lord Lowther being affixed to the claim, was sufficient.
Mr. Trott hoped a note of his objection would be taken.
Henry Smith, butler to Lord Lowther, deposed that his
Lordship's town residence was 5, Cleveland-row, St. James's,
and that he had resided there since the 14th February, 1831.
His Lordship has a lodge at Newmarket, but has not been
there more than three days within the last year.
Mr. TAMLYN decided upon allowing the claim, subject to
Mr. Trott's objection to the authority produced by Mr. Sawyer.
The next claim was that of Richard Peckover Harris, re-
siding in Marsh-street, Walthamstow, which was objected to
by Mr. Trott, on the ground that the claimant's residence was
not within seven miles of the Guildhall.
Mr. William Lane proved that the distance to Mr. Harris's
house was not more than six and a half miles by the high road,
and only six miles through the fields.
The remaining claim, that of Mr. Hartshorn of Sydenham,
was postponed until proof was adduced that his residence was
within the limits prescribed by the Act.
Mr. Trott contended that the claim should be struck out, as
the party had not come prepared to prove it.
Mr. TAMLYN thought it would be better to have the question
of distance decided, and the claim was allowed to stand over.
The Dyers, Fan-makers, and Felt-makers Companies lists
were then revised, without observation.
Mr. C. Suttley, clerk to the Dyers' Company, and the clerk
of the Fan-makers Company, stated that they had omitted
persons who had purchased their freedom and livery by re-
demption since the Ist of March 1831, as, in their opinion,
they were not entitled to register.
In answer to a question from Mr. TAMLYN, it was stated that
the parties so excluded were not in attendance.
