AQUATICS.

Rowiso MATcll.—The watermen of Strand-lane bad their
annual contest yesterday for the boat given by the inhabitant
ladies and gentlemen of the Savoy Precinct, St. Clement
Danes, and St. Mary-le-Strand. It was much better contested
than most of the stairs' wagers, and there were a great many
persons present. At six o'clock eight men, two in each boat,
rowing sculls, went off for the grand heat. The distance was
from the Pore Mahon, police-brig, round a boat facing Hun.
gerford, down the Middlesex shore, round another boat off
13lackfriars Bridge, and;'.finishing qf Strand-lane, doing the
distance twice. The start was a good one ; yellow went out
first, but they were altogether off Hungerford, when the swell
-of the steamer, from Woolwich, interrupted the whole of the
boats. White had least of the wash, and went away, and won
by about eight lengths. They came in thus

I. G. Webb anii J. Tisdale—White.
2. J. Parish and J. Daly—Pink.
3. E. Godfrey and F. Godfrey, jun.—Yellow.
4. J. Williams and J. Sculthorpe—Green.

CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.

REVISION OF VOTERS.
(Continual from The Sun of yesterday.)
(Before Mr. CRAIG. )
In the case of Joseph and Thomas Taylor, who claimed
as co-partners with their father in premises where they car-
ried on business as " Taylor and Co."
Mr. Rogers had objected on Saturday that the rating
was not sufficient. As secret partners the present claim-
ants could not be called upon to serve any parish offices,
and, therefore, as secret partners they had no valid claim
to vote.

Mr. CRAIG now decided that the rating was insufficient,
and the names of the claimants were accordingly expunged,

THE " ANCIENTS OF BARNARD'S INN."

In the course of the morning, in reference to a letter in
yesterday's Sun, addressed by Mr. Adey, one of the
ancients, to Mr. Craig, giving the Learned Barrister notice
of action against him, under the 76th section of the Act
2 William IV., for an alleged wrong decision on the part of
the Learned Barrister in the Barnard's Inn case, Mr. Row-
croft took occasion, on the part as well of himself as of
Mr. Rogers, who had conducted Mr. Adey's case in the
other Court, to assure Mr. Craig that neither himself nor
Mr. Rogers had any connection with, or had advised the
step which had thus been taken by Mr. Adey.
Mr. CRAIG said he was well convinced, from all he had
seen, both of Mr. Rowcroft and Mr. Rogers, ever since
the commencement of the sittings of the Court, that they
were gentlemen not likely to be parties to the proceedings
which bad been thus adopted. As for himself he would
only say, that he had no reason to regret or be doubtful
about the correctness of the judgment he had given in
the case in question : he would further say, that neither
the letter of which mention had been made, nor any
other comment on his conduct, should have the effect of
deterring him from impartially giving such judgments in
the cases which came before him as he conscientiously be-
lieved to be correct.

The claim of Morgan Evans was withdrawn, a person in
Court stating that Mr. Evans chose rather to lose his fran-
chise than again to compromise his conscience, for that at
the last election, having a vote, he had been obliged to vote
for the Tories.

The names of several persons were expunged, as they
appeared neither in person nor by deputy to support their
claims.

........
The Court then adjourned at the usual hour.
