The revision of the Metropolitan lists of voters has been brought to a close since our last publication. On Saturday, Mr. Tamlyn decided that the claim of Mr. Joseph Parkes to vote in respect of his resi- dence in Great George Street was valid ; and Mr. Parkes's name was accordingly placed on the register. On the same day, Mr. Knox de- cided that fifteen shareholders in the Bermondsey New Leather Market had a right to vote for East Surry : there are 200 shareholders, all of whom intend to send in claims next year. On Tuesday, Mr. Knox struck off the names of four Directors of the Thames Tunnel Company, as he deemed their qualification insufficient, although no objection had been made to them : this, he said, the Act empowered him to do. A statement has been published of the objections sup- ported by each party in the hundred of Brixton in East Surry it appears that the Reformers maintained 97 out of 171, and the Tories 92 out of 185. There are no other facts worth recording its relation to the Metropolitan registration this week.
