White had a most excellent interest; he did not extort from his tenants the utmost rent they were capable of paying, 13136- 13130 The legal meaning of beneficial interest is what would be given as an additional rent, not what would support a family, 13140- 13155 Very great improvement if the list of claimants was arranged according to townlands, and not merely alphabetically, 13156- 13160. Present system of registry produces a great deal of agitation ; an annual register much more desirable, or at all events that the barrister should have the right of seeing whether the qualification still existed, 13161- 13167 There is nothing to prevent a person re- registering within the eight years, so as to keep his title up for a further period of eight years, 13167- 13169 Character of Mr. Greville's tenants; great complaints among them of the high rent at which their land was let, 13193- 13198- Further evi- dence respecting the necessity for an annual revision of the register, 13199- 13209 Very few voters would be objected to, if the attorney employed was made liable to the costs, if the objection was not sustained, 13210- 13213 Opinion that the mere pro- duction of the certificate within the eight years, would not entitle a man to be registered without an inquiry into all the qualification, 13215- 13218 There is no difference of opinion amongst the registering barristers as to the propriety of having an appeal upon admission as well as rejection,^ 13218- 13221.

A memorial forwarded to the Government, complaining of his decisions, was sent to him, and he answered each charge seriatim, Fosbery 13004*- I30i6.13018, 13019. 13026- 13029. 13121, 13122- He was served with a writ ( at the suit of a party whose claim he had rejected) pending the registration ; the name of the attorney of the Liberal party was to the process, Fosbery 13031- 13035' Letter from Lord Stanley to him, requesting to be informed whether it was his wish 10 undertake the duties of a registering barrister, Fos- bery 13041- 13043 Extract of a letter from Mr. Berwick, the counsel on the Liberal side, complimentary of the impartial manner in which he had discharged his duties, Fosbery 13074- 13085.
