WESTMINSTER REGISTRATION.

(THIS DAY.)
The Revising Barrister gave judgment this morn-
mg in the following cases :
, Robert Taylor, in the parish of St. Clement's, had
been objected to by the Torios. It appeared from the
evidence that Taylor, who was a gardener, let the
Whole of the house except the kitchen, to lodgers; and
in the kitchen he kept some gardening tools. The
CCess to the kitchen was through the street door, of
which the party retained the key. The objection
Was, that he only occupied the part of a house, and
that that occupation was not of the nature in
*Melt a house was usually occupied ; and Barnes's
ease at Great Marlow, Ist Baron and Austin, p. 17,
Was referred to in support of the objection, in which
ease the vote was decided to be bad. That was a
:mug c__e,
as but in the absence of any reason for such
decision, it was impossible to conceive what might
have been the reason ; possibly it might have been
5 P.Posed that there was some fraud, or that the occu-
pation •
• Ns as merely colourable, and that the vote w
disallowed in consequence. There were, however,
tt
leullfileting decisions upon the same points. It would
e necessary, therefore, to look to common-law au-
orities
upon the subject ; and without multiplying
the" it might be sufficient to observe that the position
rt the occupation of part of a house by a tenant, was in
law considered the occupation of the whole, was
estahli.lhed by Rex v. Ditcheat, and Regina v. St.
f 417 lilttlendar, which showed that an occupation by
trinture or goods was suffie:ent. Lord Chief Jus
~otee beninen in that case said emphatically that a
tii," 'night occupy by a bale of goods. The occupa-
-411 of a house, therefore, need not he an occupation
(.0„4 dwelling house or residence. It was possible to
Pan
a case, indeed, in which the occupation of a
;,`'nf a house would be so utterly different from the
occupied,
billtAnses for which a house was usually
at such occupation might not be considered
a constructive occupation of the whole house.
ut here, the tenant was by business a gardener ;
he resided in the house it was not in-pos-
ble he would use the part •i‘ here he now kept
Ins tools, for the same purpoSe. There was no-
"in therefore, here inconsistent with the occupation

by the party of the whole house ; there was nothing
to show want of bona fides, or that the occupation
was merely colourable. The name, therefore, would
be retained.

George Sherrill, of St. Clement's, had also been ob-
jected to. This party had also let out the whole of
his house, except two rooms at the top, which he re-
tained for his own use, for the purpose of keeping fur-
niture there. This case fell within the principle of
the last, and the name would therefore be retained.
St. Martin's Parish was concluded. The Re-
formers have established one claim, and the Tories
none. The Reformers have also caused 95 Tory
names to be expunged from the register being 44
on the house, and 51 on the scot and lot lists. The
Tories have only expunged 41 Liberal names, being
39 on the Buse, and 2 on the scot and lot lists.

The parish of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, was then
proceeded with. In this parish the Liberals made
5 claims, and 32 objections; and the Tories 16 objec-
tions, but no claims.
