Various statutes provided for hearings before "revising barristers" to determine whether persons were or were not entitled to vote in parliamentary elections, later also in municipal elections. "Revision court" was simply a name given to such hearings eg Registration Act 1885 s 4(4): "...the said authority may direct the revising barrister for the county to hold a revision court in such town". There was no standing revision court comparable to (eg) a county court.
