TVE,S THINS 7 ER REGISTRATION COURT.

THIS DAY.

The Revising Barrister this morning proceeded
with the list of lodger claimants for St. Ann's,
Soho. The learned gentleman said with regal dto
the minimum qu dification for the lodger
be proposed to allow the claims of all
those who paid four shillings a week for their
apartments. Ile found that had been decided on
in other places, and therefore he should adopt it.
If there was any objection to such an arrangement
be would have the matter fully gone into when it
arose.

Several claims having been allowed, the clerk
came to the name of John Bingham, who claimed
in respect of apartments occupied by him at No. 33,
Old Compton-street. The claimant was not pre-
sent.

Mr. Noakes, the Conservative agent, objected to
the claim, as Bingham was not present to prove his
right.
Mr. Swan said he attended for Bingham, and
although he was not a personal friend, yet he knew
him as a customer perfectly well. lie had been to
his apartments, and had seen his rent book.

Mr. Noakes said the same point had been raised
yesterday and decided. If the claim was allowed
it would come at last to agents proving.
The Revising Barrister was of opinion that the
case was decidedly different from that which was
taken yesterday, where the claimant went to the
Black Swan and there filled up his claim. There Was
a person now in court who had seen the rent book,lhad
been to claimant's home, and had a knowledge of
him from his constantly visiting his shop. Ile had
stated that he should only require slight evidence
to substantiate the claim, and he thought, in the
present case, the proof was sufficient. He should
therefore allow the vote.

in consequence of the great number of absent
claimants, the revising barrister then took the names
of any claimant present or any one who had sent a
proper person to substantiate his claim. In many
cases the wife attended and produced the rent-book
or receipts,which was held to be sufficient, and the
claims were allowed.

William Leterich claimed to vote in respect of
rooms occupied by him in liollen-street. The
claim had been allowed, when
Mr. Noakes asked tke claimant whether he was

an Euglishman, to which question he replied he
was not.

The Revising Barrister asked whether he was a
naturalized subject, or whether he had taken steps
to become one. The claimant replied that he had
not, upon which the learned gentleman told him he
had no right to vote, and therefore his claim was
struck out.

James Ross claimed in respect of apartments
occupied by him at No. 4, Meard-street, Soho. He
had lived in the same place over the time required
by the act, he did not uuderlet, and the only joint
occupation he had was in the wash-house. (Laugh-
ter.) The claim was allowed.

John Brady claimed for a single room. On being
asked whether he solely occupied the apartment he
replied in the negative. Objection was at once
taken, and discussion followed, but loud laughter
resulted on the question being put to the claimant
as to who the second occupant was, to which ho
coolly replied "My wife." The claim was allowed.

The Burnley Advertiser, a Tory paper, having
charged Mr. Gladstone with having made a bargain
with the Roman Catholics to give them a million of
money out of the revenues of the disendowed Irish
Church, the Liberal candidate for Burnley, Mr. R.
Shaw, wrote to the right hon. gentleman to know if
there was any foundation for the accusation, and
received from him the following reply :—" Ince
Blundell Hall, Sept. 7, 1868.—My dear Sir,—The
stories to which you refer about engagements of
mine to the heads of the Roman Catholic Church,
or intercourse with Rome respecting the Irish
Church question, are idle falsehoods. Permit me
respectfully to suggest that, when statements of this
kind are circulated, the proper course may be to in-
quire on what authority they rest. This course will at
once dispose of them. When there is some kind of
evidence i❑ support of such rumours, it is not un-
fair to ask the person who is the subject of them to
contradict them. Contradiction when there is no
such evidence ought not to be called for. I have
myself to blame for having, at an early period of
this controversy, with a view to satisfying the
public mind, contradicted, perhaps too readily, a
variety of ingenious rumours for which there was
no more excuse or apology in any fact, or in any
ostensible appearance, than there is for the state-
ment you mention. You will not understand me
to Lind fault with your inquiry, and perhaps if you
will give publicity to this letter which I lose no
time in writing, it may have the effect of checking
in some degree the manufacture of these absurd
fabrications, which are put to do duty in the
absence of argument against 113. —I remain, my
dear sir, yours very faithfully, W. E. GLADSTONE.
R. Shaw, Eq."

ing the past year a total of 763,743 head of live

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE FInE AT SAVILE HOLTSE.—EXTE,AOEDINARY
CIIAR6E OF ATTEMPTED FRAUD,—Joseph Matthew
Morris, of the New York Hotel, Leicester-street,
Leicester-square, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt
on a warrant by Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, charged
with unlawfully attempting to obtain from the Gas-
light and Coke Company (better known as the
Chartered Gas Company) the sum of £2,700 un-
der false pretences, with intent to defraud.

Mr. Humphreys (Humphreys and Morgan) ap-
peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Davies (Davies
and Sin) appeared for the defence.

Mr. Humphreys said he appeared on the part of
the Gas Light Company to prosecute the prisoner
for attempting to obtain the sum of £2,700 by
false pretences from them. The prisoner,
wh.) was an American, he believed, by
birth, kept a place in lAcester-street, Leices-
ter-square, and was also the lessee of Savile
House at the time it was burnt down in 1865, and
the charge against him was that being the lessee of
Savile House at the time of the fire, he made a
claim on the Gaslight Company for various sums
for goods destroyed, in all to the amount of nearly
£3,000. The prisoner brought an action against the
company, and sought to maintain his claim by
means of that action. The matter was subsequently
referred to arbitration, and he then stated that the
contents of his claim were true, that the contents
of the claim were on the premises at the time of
the fire, and were consumed at the fire. He (Mr.
Humphreys) should be able to show hereafter that
the articles in the claim were not on the premises at
all, but was not in a position to do so to-day, the
prisoner having only been apprehended the previous
night by Sergeant Appleton. He should therefore
have to ask for a remand that the necessary wit-
nesses might be forthcoming.
Mr. Humphreys then called
Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, who produced a war-
rant, signed by Mr. Knox, for the prisoner's appre-
hension.

Mr. Humphreys said they would take the war-
rant as read.

Sergeant Appleton said he apprehended the
prisoner on the warrant at the New York Hotel
last night, and that on reading the warrant to the
prisoner he said that he expected something of the
sort, in consequence of the manner in which he was
questioned before the arbitrator. The prisoner
afterwards spoke to Mr. Ward, who occupied pre-
mises under Savile-house, and said '° Mr. Ward, you
know I had a vast number of things in the place,"
and Mr. Ward said he did not know what he (pri-
soner) had, as he had enough to do to mind his own
business, and that he had himself been a greal loser
by the fire. The prisoner also said, "It's a very
serious affair for me, Mr. Ward," and Mr.
Ward said if the prisoner's claim was a
just one, he had nothing to fear. Mr.
Ward asked the prisoner haw mach he claimed,
and the prisiuer said £.2,70), upon which Mr.
Ward said it was a large amount of property, and
that he had no idea there was so much property
ti;ere, and that it was more than he had himself
lost. '

The Prisoner—Diil I not say I was glad it hal
occurred, as it would clear my reputation, and
that I did not like to remain under the stigma
which rested on my character through what had
taken place ?

Sergeant Appleton said the prisoner spoke to that
effect.

The prisoner said be never took proceedings at
all against the Gaslight Company, and that he was
in Brussels at the lime theproceedings were taken.
He should have an answer to the charge.
In answer to the prisoner, the sergeant said that
he (prisoner) made some remark about mirrors, and
that Air. Ward said he had seen glasses there, but
not at the time of the fire.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a case of considerable
importance, and he should remand the prisoner.
Mr. Davies applied for bail, but Mr. Humphreys
objecting, Mr. Tyrwhitt declined to accept it, and
the prisoner was remande].

BOSTON.—Mr. William Webster is named as a
candidate likely to be supported by the new electors
of this borough in the Liberal interest.
CHELSEA.--Last night immense excitement was
created in the neighbourhood of the Vestry hall,
King's-road, Chelsea, by the assembling of a large
number of working men in front of the building,
who had come to hear the address of Mr. G. Odger,
the working men's candidate for the representation
of the new borough of Chelsea—this being the first
meeting to which he explained his political opinions
in the borough. As soon as the doors were opened
there was a great rush of people into the hall, and
every seat and all standing room were immediately
occupied. The chair was taken by Mr. Armstrong,
who bespoke for the first working man who ad-
dressed a newly-enfranchised borough attention and
respect. He believed they would have order,
because the meeting was composed mostly of work-
ing men of different grades. (Hear, hear.) Mr.
Mudge (secretary) then read several letters, one
from Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., stating that as
he was a member of Sir H. Hoare's committee he
could not consistently support Mr. Odger, but that,
should Sir 11. Hoare retire, be (Mr. Hughes) should
be happy, on his return to town, to do all he could
to help Mr. Odger. (Cheers.) Also a letter from
Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., expressing himself in
favour of the candidature of the working man can-
didate for Chelsea, and hoping that, at all events,
the weaker candidate would retire. Mr. W.
Shaen also wrote to say that he could not be pre-
sent at this, but should be happy to attend future
meetings in support of Mr. Odger. On coming
forward to address the meeting, Mr. Odger, who
was received with great cheering and con-
siderable interruption, said that if those
who were creating disturbance thought they
could stultify the honest professions of working men
by noise they had made a great mistake ; and fur-
ther, if they thought rich men's money could stop
poor men's mouths they were grievously mistaken.
(Cheers.) He was asked by what right he was
there. He had as much right in Chelsea as Mr.
Disraeli had in Buckinghamshire—(cheers)—or as
Lord Stanley had iu King's Lynn. (Cheers.) He
was there at the invitation of men who had done
much towards the enfranchisement of the people
and of that very borough of Chelsea. He was not
there to abuse Sir Henry Hoare or any other man,
but simply to declare what his principles were, and
if the meeting did not think his principles suitable
to them, let them tell him to go home and hold his
peace. If, on the contrary, they thought they could
honourably endorse his principles, and that he had
sufficient energy and determination to enunciate
them before the House of Commons, and that
they were willing to place their confidence in him,
then he declined to go away from Chelsea at the
dictation of Sir Henry Hoare's agents or any other
man. (Interruption.) He felt that the principle
of the Reform Act of last year was prepared by
Joh❑ Bright i❑ 1859—(cheers)—and that the situa-
tion for it was found by Mr. Gladstone. (Cheers.)
Mr. Disraeli was merely the instrument by which
the bill was passed. Ile went on to say that the
ratepaying clauses and the zestriction on the lodger
franchise should be swept away, that there should
be a realer distributiju of seats, and that the
ballot should be established. As to the question
of education, he would educate all, and no mau
could better say a word upon education than
himself. When he (Mr. Odger) was four years
of age his father, who was a miner, died,
And at the age of nine his mother became in.
sane, so that therefore, from the age of ten,
he was obliged to get his own living. (Cheers.)
And he could also say he never had a favour done
him. Therefore could he speak of the necessity of
education. With respect to the game laws, he
looked upon them as the source of abominable mis-
chief. As to the labour question, he thought that
the days of strikes and lockouts had passed away ;
still he thought trades' unions were necessary. He
was in favour of the establishment of boards of con-
ciliation and arbitration. With regard to that sal
abuse which had disgraced England for cen-
turies—the State Church iu Ireland--he be-
lieved that England was responsible, if not
for a sad mistake, for a very serious
crime in keeping up that Church Establish-
ment. (Cheers.) He was prepared to support Mr.
Gladstone in advocating the disestablishment and
disendowment of that Church. (Cheers.) They
should also address themselves to the land question.
lie concluded by declaring his opinion that the
heart of the country was sound, and that the day
was fast approaching when England would be more
respected abroad and more happy at home than she
had ever been ; but that result, he said, must rest
not only with keeping Ireland happy, but England
and Scotland too. (Cheers.) A great deal of up-
roar was caused by a man named Wall persisting
in asking some question which the chairman would
not put. Eventually, after a short and slight scuffle,
he was ejected from the room, and order was re-
stored. Replying to questions, chiefly put by
the more respectable looking class of work-
ing men, of whom there were hundreds in the
hall, Mr. Odger said, among other things,
that with respect to opening museums, &c.,
on Sundays, it was a question upon which the work-
ing men were divided in opinion, but if they re-
turned him to Parliament he would ask them their
opinion upon the question and act upon it. (Laugh-
ter.) He was in favour of equalisation of rates
and of proper medical inspection of workhouses.
Ile agreed with the six points of the Charter drawn
up in 1848. He would disendow the Presbyterian
Church in Ireland, withdraw the Maynooth Grant,
and make the Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and
Roman Catholics religiously equal. (tareat cheering.)
The principle of the Permissive Bill he thought
sound, but was not prepared to vote for it. A great
deal of noise and uproar occurred during the
putting and answering of the questions, which
Mr. Odger answered promptly. Mr. Bartlett
moved and Mr. Harry seconded :—" That
having heard from Mr. Odger an exposition of his
political principles, we deem him to be a fit and
proper person to represent us in Parliament, and
we pledge ourselves to use every. honourable means
to secure his return." The resolution was carried.
Mr. Bickley moved, and Mr. Young seconded—
" That this meeting is of opinion that Mr. C. W.
Dilke is a fit and proper person to represent this
borough." An amendment to the effect that while
recognising the ability and services of Mr. Odger
the meeting thought his candidature would divide
the Liberal interest and therefore asked him to
withdraw was put and negatived, about a dozen
hands being held up for it. The resolution was
carried, and the proceedings, noisy throughout,
terminated.

The supplies at Whitechapel were good to-day, and the
trade dull. Meadow hay, 75s to 112 s ; clover, 80s to 1308 ;
straw, 30s to 36s per load.

The markiet is quiet at 45s 6d Y.O. on the spot ; 45s 3d

RAILWAY ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning a pas-
senger train entering Edgehill station, Liverpool, at greater
speed than usual ran into several empty waggons. The
latter were smashed, the buffers of the engine were broken,
the engine itself was much damaged, and the passengers
in the fore part of the train were severely shaken, some of
them sustaining cuts and contusions, but fortunately no
ono was dangerously hurt.

EXTRAORDINARY L')NGE VITY, —The obituary of
the Times of yeAterday contained some marvellous illustra-
tions of prolonged existence in five ladies and a gentleman,
whose united ages amounted to 520 years, giving an ave-
rage of 8G years and 8 mouths to each. The ages of the
ladies were respectively 80, 85, 88, 02, and 95 ; the gentle-
man had reached the age of 80.
