PUSETISM AT A DISCOUNT.—A convocation Was
held in the University of Oxford yesterday, for the
election of Vice-Chancellor, when Dr. Symons was
elected by a majority of 699—the numbers being, for
Dr. Symons 882, and against him 183. The Rev.
Gentleman is opposed to the Puseyite doctrines,
and we therefore rejoice in his election.

THIS DAY'S NEWS,

MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. SHADWELL, Revising Barrister.)
In the list of St. Michael le Querne, Mr. James, on
behalf of the Liberals, objected to the name of Alfred
Sirdefield, whose qualification was described in the list
as "Ditto."

It appeared that the list sent by the overseers to the
Clerk of the Peace was correct, and that the list affixed
to the church was incorrect. The Revising Barrister
therefore took the register of the previous year.
Mr. Payne then contended that the objection of Mr.
James would not reach the claimant on the register, in
which his qualification was described as " freehold
house," because Mr. James had only objected to the
claimant on the list in which the qualification was de-
scribed as " Ditto."

Mr. James said he did not think there was anything
in Mr. Payne's answer, as there was sufficient informa-
tion in the notice of the party that he could either object
to the register or to the list.
The REVISING BARRISTER said it did not signify whe-
ther the objection was taken to the list of voters or to the
register, for, the objector had the power of objecting to
either on the same objection.
Mr. Payne not being able to prove the claimants' quali-
fication, the name was expunged.
In the parish of St. Swithin, London-town, Mr. Cop-
pock objected to the name of John Rogers. It appeared
that John Rogers, the elder, who was on the list since
1832, died, and his son, also called John Rogers, made a
verbal application to have his name inserted in the list,
which was done by the overseers. Mr. Coppock and
Mr. James contended that there should be a written claim
with the name of the party attached.
The REVISING BARRISTER agreed that there ought to
be a written claim, but as the overseers for whose pro-
tection that written claim was required, were satisfied
with a verbal one, he did not think he ought to expunge
the name.—The name was accordingly retained.
There were 53 objections taken to-day by the Liberals.
They sustained 42 and failed in 11. By the Conserva-
tives 19 objections, out of which they sustained 13, and
failed in 6 ; thus leaving a majority on the day of 29 to
the Liberals. On both days the Liberals obtained a ma-
jority of 191.
The business of the Court concluded shortly after
one o'clock.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.)
IN THE MATTER OF BENJAMIN CARPENTER.
The insolvent, a licensed victualler, formerli of Saf-
fron-hill, but lately a prisoner in the Queens Bench,
applied by his attorney for his interim order.
On his namd bein called, the attorney stated that he
vvaa not then in attendance.
Sir C. WILLIAMS said he feared it was another of the
cases of insolvents' getting out of prison on filing a peti-
tion in that Court, and who, the moment they were free,
absconded, and left the creditors to do the best they
might. Such cases were, unfortunately, too frequent ;
and the case with which such fraud could be committed
was so monstrous, that something must be done, and
that immediately, to correct it.
Mr. STURGEON observed, that considering the exten-
sive gaol delivery which had taken place such instances
were comparatively few.
Mr. BUCRANNA N, who attended for the creditors,
prayed that the insolvent's petition should be dismissed.
One of his clients was a detaining creditor, and were it
not for that Court the insolvent would now have been
safe in the Queen's Prison.
Sir C. WILLIAMS decided that the insolvent should
have half an hour allowed him, and at the end of that
period he entered the Court.
On being examined by Mr. BIJCHANNAN, he stated
that the debts on his schedule were 2961. ; that a sum
of 51 15s. 2d. for costs upon a debt was not inserted ;
that a debt of 1201. to Messrs. Meux, the brewers, was
in a former schedule inserted at between 3001. and 4001.
Sir C. WILLIAMS—Stop, stop. How comes that dif-

ference ? Insolvent—The attorney told me to put far
more than the real debt in tie schedule.
Sir C. WILLIAMS said that proved that the business
of that Court ought to be transacted by respectable par-
ties. He was determined tc put down the pettifogging
system which was now occasionally brought to light.
Mr. BEICHANNAN would DA trouble thy Court further,
as its jurisdiction in this case did not apply to debts
over 3001.

The petition, after a severe admonition to the insol-
vent, and to a friend whom he had often consulted in
court (an attorney's clerk), was dismissed.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(1 HIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of
agistrates.)
This day being appointed for the trial of felonies or
misdemeanor, the Court sit at an earlier hour than usual.
The calendar, although numerically heavy, was not
marked by any crimes oft serious nature. The number
of names which appeared on the calendar was 64, of
which 55 wore for felonies and the remainder on charges
of misdemeanor.

The grand jury having been sworn,
The ASSISTANT JUDGE, in addressing the jury upon
the usual topics, alluded to the recent junction of the
criminal jurisdiction of the Westminster and Clerken-
well districts, by which a large saving to the county
would be effected. Westminster was without a corpo-
ration,.and, comparatively speaking, not a very populous
district, and, therefore, h 3 thought, and he was sure the
gentlemen of the grand jary would agree with him that
the Government had acted wisely in effecting this change
with respect to the nature of the cases which would come
before them, they were of ordinary nature, and required
no comment.

Margaret Devine, aged ten years, and Anne Dobbetts,
aged thirteen, who were convicted, at a former sessions,
for stripping children, were both sentenced to nine
months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in the West-
minster Bridewell.

A fine powerful-looking young man named Timothy
Little, was found guilty of stealing a pair of scissors of
the value of 2d. He pleaded distress as the incitement
to his crime, and was sentenced to one months' imprison.
ment with hard labour.

A number of other prisoners were tried and found
guilty of stealing various small articles ranging in value
from 2d. to Id., and pleaded a like excuse for their
offences.

James Connelly, a young fellow of desperate appear.
ante, was indicted for stealing a violin, the property o
John Archibald Morrison.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner
walked boldly in the day light into the shop of the pro-
secutor, took up the article, with which he attempted to
make his escape by rushing past the shopman, but was
stopped after a desperate struggle.
The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty,
when a previous conviction having been read against him,
The ASSISTANT JUDGE said the prisoner was too no-
torious and dangerous a character to remain in this
country any longer, and the sentence of the Court there-
fore was, that he be transported for seven years.
The prisoner on being removed from the bar, touched
his forelock, and bowing to the Bench said, " Thank
you, my Lord."
