One  ground  of  argument  taken  by  the  counsel  for  the
appellant  was,  that  the  appellant  might,  upon  the  fticts
stated  in  the  case,  be  considered  as  the  aamer.  But  we
think  the  facts  therein  stated  shew  that  the  Lords  Com-
missioners of  the  Admiralty  are,  within  the  proper  l^al
sense  of  the  word,  the  owners  of  the  house,  too  clearly
to  admit  of  an  argument.
As  we  hold  the  decision  to  be  right,  by  giving  effect
to  the  first  objection  against  the  appellant's  right  to
vote,  that  is,  by  holding  there  is  no  occupation  as  tenant,
it  becomes  unnecessary  to  consider  the  second  objection,
which  relates  to  the  mode  of  paying  the  occupier's  rates.
We  therefore  think  the  decision  of  the  revising  barrister
must  be  affirmed.
Decision  affirmed.
