From The Cork Constitution, 5 November 1886 - CORK MUNICIPAL REVISION. ---------- TWO PARNELLITE M.P.s DISFRANCHISED. ---------- His Worship the Mayor yesterday resumed the revision of the Municipal Franchise. Messrs. J. C. Blake, solicitor, and Thomas Babington, senr., solicitor, sat as legal assessors, and Mr. H. Barry represented the Town Clerk. Messrs. Babington and Babington, solicitors, with Mr. Holmes Crofts, appeared for the Conservatives. Mr. W. Murphy, solicitor, with Mr. J. O'Brien, for the Nationalists. The direct list was gone through, and the cases which were allowed stand disposed of, and a few claims were then decided. Thomas Beston, George's-street, objected to by the Nationalists, was struck off, it being stated by Mr. Murphy that he did not occupy the whole house. The applicant did not appear, and therefore the name was struck off. Rev. G. P. Quick, Homeville, Sunday's Well. Rector of St. Peter's Church, was objected to by the Nationalists. Mr. Bernard Skinner appeared, and proved that Mr. Quick was entitled to a vote. The objections were disallowed. The Revision then terminated. Mr. W. W. Babington said that as the revision was now virtually closed he begged to thank his worship for the courteous and impartial manner in which he had conducted it all through. Mr. Murphy said it was needless to say that he seconded what Mr. Babington had said with the greatest pleasure. They had got through the work very smoothly. There was no friction on either side, and were extremely thankful to the Mayor for his kindness during the revision. Mr. Babington--There was the greatest impartiality and courtesy shown by his worship. (Hear, hear.) The Mayor was much obliged to both gentlemen. They had got through the work smoothly and harmoniously, and also very rapidly. He had to thank his assessors, too, for their courtesy and the assistance they had given him. The court then adjourned until Monday, when the list will be gone over to class the names.
