CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.-THIS DAY.

ACourt was this day held, at the Guildhall, for the pur-
pose of revising the lists of voters for the City of London.
At ten o'clock, Messrs. TAMLIN and CRAIG, the Revising
Barristers appointed under the Act, took their seats in the
Court of King's Bench, when the former gentleman briefly
stated the order in which they should proceed. It was ne-
cessary that the lists of claimants and objections should
be all delivered in on that day ; after which, they should
proceed to revise the lists of parishes in their alphabetical
order. His Learned Friend, Mr. Craig, would preside in
the Court of Common Pleas, for the purpose of revising
the new constituency of 101. householders, and in the mean
time he (Mr. Tomlin) should take the lists of liverymen
and freemen, in their alphabetical order.
Mr. CRAIG then withdrew, and the calling over of the
parishes was proceeded with.
The parish of St. Nicholas, Cole-Abbey, having been
called on— _ _

MT. J. MAYNARD, the solicitor for the registration of
voters in that parish, under the Reform Act, handed in a
printed list of persons entitled to vote.
Mr. TAMLTN said it was necessary that the original list
frOm which the printed one had been taken, should be
handed in, and read the section of the Act (44th), which
enacted that the original list made out and signed by the
overseers, should be handed in to the revising barrister, and
that copies of it should be posted on the several churches,
chapels, or other public places.
Mr. MAYNARD explained that the printed list handed in
was that which had been prepared last year, corrected to
the present year, and signed by the overseers of the parish.
The list was then received.
IN THE PARISH OF ST. PETER.

Mr. H. C. GIBBS, the vestry-clerk,, attended with a
printed list, which he stated had been made out from a ma-
nuscript one sent to the printer.
Mr. TAMLIN said it was necessary that the original list
should be produced, and directed the officer to procure it
in the course of the day, otherwise it could not be received.
He regretted that the overseers did not attend in person.
Some other lists were also objected to and re-
jected for want of foim. In one case the list of ob-
jections was not signed by the overseers, although the
list of claimants was regularly prepared, and the words
" objected to" affixed to the names of those in the list
of objections.
Mr. TAMLIN did not know what to do with the list.
He feared it could not be received, as it had been pre-
pared very irregularly: The list of objections, as well as
the list of claimants, should have been signed by the over-
seers, and• a copy affixed to the church-door. It must stand
over for further consideration.

It was arranged that as soon as all the lists had been
handed in, the lists of Liverymen should be taken for revi-
sion in alphabetical order, commencing with the Armourers.

COMMON PLEAS.

Mr. CRAIG then took his seat in this Court, and informed
those present that he would proceed to receive the lists of
householders alphabetically from A to M—from M to Z
would be taken in the other Court. As soon as he had re-
ceived all the lists, he would go back to the first one, and
then proceed regularly with the revision of them. The
overseers of the various parishes were then called according
to that arrangement, and delivered in their respective lists.
Many of them in answer to the barrister, said the lists given
in were not the original ones, but copies—in all such cases
they were sworn as to. the copy being an exact counterpart
of the one fixed upon the church doors, and that kept for
inspection.
Mr. CRAIG said he wished to impress upon all the over-
seers present, that the Act of Parliament required, not that
they should affix the original list to the church door, but
that it should be kept td be produced before the barrister ;
they ought to make a true copy of it, in order to be exhi-
bited. He trusted they would in future act upon the only
safe principle, a strict compliance with the Act, and that
they would remind their successors of its importance.
When the list for Allhallows, London Wall, was
handed in, the overseeer could not swear that it was
the same as was exhibited on the church door, for one
name which had been mispelt had been corrected after it
was taken down. -
The barrister had some difficulty in this case, but re-
ceived the list, reserving the case of the corrected name
for further consideration.
The Learned Gentleman was engaged in the same rou-
tine business, till our reporter left. He is not likely to
get to the revision of the lists to-day. We understand
there are upwards of 1,000 objections in this court.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

The Chief Commissioner, Mr. Commissioner HARRIS,
and Mr. Commissioner BOWEN, sat to-day for the first time
since the 13th of August.
Robert Cecil, a lodging-house-keeper, lately residing in
Dorset-street, was brought up on his petition to be dis-
charged. The insolvent was not opposed. His landlord
was the principal creditor of the insolvent,• whose debts
were not large. It appeared from the statements of the
insolvent, that he was entitled to some little property
under his father and grandfather's wills ; but as copies of
those wills ,were not set out in the schedule, the case was
adjourned.
George Alderton, a beer shopkeeper, who, in October,
1824, received the benefit of the Act, was again brought
up on his petition to be discharged.
The Insolvent was unopposed, and was ordered to be
discharged forthwith accordingly.
Thomas Ellis, whose case our readers will recollect came
before the Court before its short recess, when judgment was
postponed, was brought up again to-day, when
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN gave judgment. The facts
of the case were of no ordinary character. The insolvent,
who had carried on the business of a publican, went with a
broker named Freethers into Yorkshire, where they were
joined by another person, for the purpose of proceeding to the
house of a gentleman of large fortune there, named Thomas
Bland Dawson Bland. On arriving there, they found that
Mr. Bland was absent ; but notwithstanding that they levied
a distress for 10,0001. for money alleged to' be due for rent to
a pauper at Leeds, whose name was John Bland, who
claimed the property. They remained in possession five
days, and threatened to sell the furniture. From doing
this; however, they were prevented by two friends of Mr.
Bland signing a replevying bond for twice the amount
claimed. The parties then left, and proceeded to.
levy two other distresses in the neighbourhood.
'An action was then brought for malicious trespass,
against the Insolvent and the' three others. This action
was tried at Yosli, ',and a verdict of 1,0001. damages
was obtained. The other three men were not to be found,
and the Insolvent not being—enabled to pay the 1,0001. went
to prison. The Learned Commissioner thought with the
Jury who tried the action, that the trespass was a most mali-
cious one, and ordered the Insolvent to eighteen months
imprisonment.

ROYAL PAVILION THEATRE.--This house, which
has been almost entirely rebuilt during the recess of a month,
was re-opened last night with much splendour and eclat.
The first piece was the The Four Sisters, in which .Mrs.
Waylett sustained her original part of Caroline Merton,
and acquitted herself with all her accustomed spirit and
naivete. She was encored in all her songs. A ballet, en-
titled Oh! 'tis Love, followed, and introduced King, Brown,
and Gibson, whose performances were much applauded.
" Midas" came next, and was most respectably played.
Mrs. Waylett as Apollo gave " Pray Goody," " Kate
Kearney," and two other songs with grcsat sweetness, and
was rapturously applauded and encored iick all. An oriental
spectacle, called " The Silver Valley," concluded the night.
The piece possesses more interest than £ ills to the share of
spectacles in general ; it is well got up, a ,nd as the vehicle
for the display of some excellent scenery by Dawson, Gor-
don, P. Phillips, and Mildenhall, it merits .a run. The house
was crowded to suffocation, and the whole of the per-
formances went off exceedingly well.
