THE REGISTRATIONS.

(Continued from 'Ph Stth 0? yesterday.)
VIISTAINSTER.
(Before Mr. TANILyN.)
At ten o'clock yesterday morning Mr. TAMLYN took his
seat at No. 1, Committee-room, House of Commons.
ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST.
In this parish only one elaimrt appeared to be placed
on the registratin.
M. T:tMLYN having heard evidence in support of the
Claim, allowed it, and the name of Mr. Cooper, of Great
Peter-street, was added to the list.
Mr. TAMLYN then revised the list, and passed it.
ST. MARGARET'S.
Mr. TAMLYN then proceeded to revise the lists of this
parish.
The name of Mr. Tennyson, M.P., appeared upon the
list. That gentleman having lately taken the name of
D'Eyncourt, it became a question whether the letters patent
for the change of name were issued previously to the inser-
tion of the name of Tennyson.
An Overseer would make inquiry.
The whole of this list was disposed of, with the exception
of the name of Mr. Joseph Parkes.
The St. John's parish list was also gone through.
In the St. Clement's list, several names were struck out
on the general objection.
There was no case of the slightest interest.
Adjourned till to-morrow.
(Before Mr. CRAIG.)
An objection was taken to the claims of twenty-seven
scot and lot voters in the parish of St. George, Hanover-
square. The overseers having.
and lot voters, sent it on
e Fri d t 'ay o Lilo printers, s
to be ready for rn-.;:ino. on the Church-door on the
11'.4(1e out a list
Sunday. P • b
Y. ..Jy some mistake of the tuitteit, arising out of
tue scot
the "Siazat period allowed fer doing the work, all the names
included under the lettet.H were omitted from the list, and
of course did not Appear upon the Church-door. The over-
seers, on discovering the omission, immediately sent round
a printed circular, and subsequently written communica-
tions to the parties whose names had been omitted, stating
that they (the overseers) would put up the names. In con-
sequence or this the persons so omitted had made tin
in 'writing to be inserted on the register., not thinking it ne
cessary so to do. The question, then, under these circum-
stances, was, whether the claimants, having adopted as
their own the course pursued by the overseers, might not
be considered as having made a sufficient claim.
Evidence of these facts were given, and a part of the ma-
nuscript list omitted by the prinier Wet produced.
Mr. CRAIG, in giving 'aigiitent, said that, in the face of•
a direct enactment lo the contrary, he could not, however
much he regretted the disfranchisement, allow the claim.
It was consequently disallowed.
A Gentleman present advised the claimants to tender
their votes at the neat election, and thus take the opinion
of a Committee of the House d Commons on their validity.
This decision only disqualified three of the claimants, the
other 24 still retaining their rights out of household quali-
fications. None of the scot and lot claims thus registeaed
have lost the franchise as such, their names not having been
omitted for two years.
kr. Wm. Shand, of Nos. 6 and 7, Buckingham-street,
whose case was argued yesterday, had been objected to by
Mr. Rawlinson as not having paid his rates.'
Mr. Le Breton, in support of the claim, insisted that it
was not incumbent on the claimant to prove the payment of
the taxes.
Mr. Rawlinson argued that the claimant should have
heat present to prove payment.
Mr. Le Breton said he was prevented by illness ; but,
were it otherwise, the onus of non-payment lay with the
objector.
Mr. CRAIG decided in favour of the claim.
The Court adjourned until to-morrow, when it is ex-
pected the revision will conclude.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS

,1
A STRANGE STORY.—John Harris and William Ward

The Jury after some deliberation found both the prison-
ers
CHAIRMAN—You are both known:
ptdaso you, illy Lord, t was never in a
prison.
CHAIRMAN—Indeed, Sir, not by the name of Sparrow ?
Prisoner—Oh, Sir, I gave my name Ward because T wes
" afeared" of the newspaperg.--4Laughter.)

ment and hard labour in the House of Correction.

Applications were made to the COURT for musical li-
censes to be granted to the Lowther Assembly Rooms, in
the Strand, to the Swan, in Hungerford Market, and the
Duchess of Clarence, in the Vauxhall-road. After some
few observations from the Bench, particularly with respect
to the latter house (which was at first objected to by one
of the Magistrates, Captain FITZGERALD), the licenses
were granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,

MA2VBIoN-liousP,

Yesterday tinithOr of ctimniehthil gentienieti litaitdd
ttpsti the Loan MAYOR, in consequence of the published
accounts relative to the robbery committed by George Fre-
derick Hamilton,. alias Biotteott Jo Kph upon the Belfast
manufacturers, In the course of the conversation Ids Lord.
Alp stated that he considered that it would reflect much
credit upon the great manufacturing hOttset in London, if
they would assist in obtaining justice for the persons who
had been sufferers, and most of whom were, he believed,
not able to incur expense without considerable inconve-
hiefiCt and tltihatrassment. •

We understand that the gentlumen at once eorieuirrad in
the view taken by the Lord Mayor, and accordingly di-
rected that bills should be posted, offering a reward of 200
guineas for the apprehension and conviction of Hamilton,
diets Josephs, who is, it seems, well known in London. We
believe that, if the accused is apprehended, the prosecution
will be carried on without a shilling cost to the poor men
who have been plundered. The charge is for the forgery of
the bill for 120/., as the acceptance of Malisius, Schneider,
and Co. The interest excited by the whole circumstances
of this gross system of robbery increases daily, and his
Lordship has received several communications upon the
subject. The following is one of the experimental letters
sent by Hamilton from Belfast to London tradesmen. It
did not, however, succeed :
" Mr. William Cox. " Belfast, July 1, 1835.
" Sir—We have an order for exportation for ladies' shoes.
We have been informed that you can furnish us with them on
very low terms. We shall, therefore, thank you to forward
one dozen of each sort, your manufacture, with the very lowest
prices and terms for cash. The articles we most require are
satin, prunelle, and morocco. The best way for you to send
them will be by coach to Liverpool, as there are steamers
every other day to this place. On receipt of the samples we
will remit you the amount of them and the order, if your
prices are low.—We are, Sir, your obedient servants,
" MALISIUS, SCHNEIDER, and Co.
" Mr. W. Cox, Shoe-manufacturer, 2, Artillery-
street, Chiswell-street, London."

Several tradesmen have swallowed bait like this, and
transmitted their goods to Belfast, and they are of course
losers by their credulity.

A man named Cohen was brought up on a warrant granted
by the LORD MAYOR for what some Magistrates would call
swindling, but what his Lordship called stealing.
Mr. Jacob Canton, a carpet rug maker' stated that the
prisoner applied to him for two rugs, which he said a lady
wanted to purchase, and said that he should bring back
either the rugs or the money immediately. He, however,
neither did one nor the other.

The prisoner said that he was in the habit of dealing with
the prosecutor, and had sold the rugs in question to an Irish
gentleman, and would pay the prosecutor, of whom he had
commission upon sales of this kind, the moment he received
the amount of his bill.

The prosecutor denied that the prisoner was in the habit
of selling in the way described, and declared that he would
not have put the rugs into the prisoner's possession if he
had not been informed that they were for a Lady in St.
James's-street.

Prisoner (to the prosecutor)—You know I am in your
debt for other rugs as well as for those.
Prosecutor—You are not in my debt for anything else.
Prisoner—lndeed lam in your debt 1/. 15s. more. (A
laugh.)
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, are you able to pay for
these rugs ? Prisoner—Not till I get the money from
Ireland.
The LORD MAYOR—That's too Irish for us. I shall
remand you till Monday, and if you don't pay by that time
I shall commit you for the robbery. There are many
fellows who are in their acts every day on the verge of
Newgate ; I'll try whether I can't push in such accom-
plished gentlemen altogether.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Frederick Augustus lie Clifford, a young man of gentle-
manly appearance, was yesterday put to the bar, charged
with having taken a cloak, belonging to a Mr. White, with•
out the owner's permission.
Mr. White said he travelled through some parts of
Prance with the prisoner, and when at Caen, the prisoner,
without his leave, took away his travelling cloak.
The prisoner said the cloak had been lent to him by Mr.
White, and had been left at Havre. He considered the
treatment he had met with from Mr. White to be very un-
gentlemanly, especially as he had been taken to Bow-street
on the same charge, which the Magistrates at that office
had refused to entertain.
A young gentleman came forward, and said he wished to
charge the prisoner with having improperly disposed of a
new coat belonging to him. The prisoner was introduced
to him a short time ago, and, on the morning of his intro-
duction, be begged the loan of a new coat, which he saw in
the apartment, and the favour having been granted, on his
promise to return the garment in a few hours, he took it
away, but had never returned it again.
Mr. CONANT, after hearing all the evidence which could
be brought forward, was of opinion that the charges against
the prisoner could not be sustained, and therefore directed
that he should be released.

William &nips" one of those vagabonds termed
"duffers," was charged with the following impudent assault
on a gentleman named Stoddard :

Mr. Stoddard had just quitted his carriage, and was
walking down Regent-street with his wife on Thursday af-
ternoon, when the prisoner came up to him, and opening
his coat, showed what appeared to be a very handsomely-
mounted snuff-box, but which, of course, was nothing but a
piece of varnished and plated rubbish. Mr. Stoddard made
his way past the fellow, which so enraged him, that he ac-
tually kicked Mr. Stoddard violently, and began loudly to
abuse him.

Schofield, an officer of this establishment, came up at the
time, and took the ruffian into custody. A quantity of
Birmingham seals to imitate gold was found in his pockets,
and while at the bar he continued to conduct himself with
the greatest coarseness and audacity. He was fined 31., or
two months'. imprisonment.
