It was originally entered for Paget, but was altered to Clifton. Mr. Mundell objected to this course of examination as tending to criminate the sheriff, who at prawn wee un represented. Mr. Price said his object was to show that the poll books bed been altered. The Chairman thought the committee bad better oome to some derision as to their 000.111. of proceeding. The means might be questioned as to say alteration made in his punnet contintied—l never saw soy alteration 1 or erasure made when the books were out u.

[The witness was examined as to several other alterations of a similar nature.] [Left sitting.] BRIDONORTH. The committee met at 11 o'clock ; Mr. Ellice in the chair. Mr. Aspinall summed op the evidence submitted oa be half of Sir John Actoo. He contended that there was nothing whatever in the transaction between Mr. Bigg and the witnesses Lee and Hughes from which the committee Gould reasonably infer corruption, the money having been paid by Mr. Bigg to Lee and Hughes for the purpose of reimbursing the expenses to which Mr. Big; believed them to have been put. As to the alleged agency of Mr. Blgg, the learned counsel argued that there was not the slightest proof of that. but that on the contrary the tes timony went completely the other way. With regard to the ease of Mr. Backhoues, he 000 tended that although that gentleman was beyond all doubt the agent of Bit John Acton for election expenses it bad been clearly shown that he had nothing whatever to do with bringing the voter he was alleged to have bribed to Heidi north, the only evidence in substantiation of the bribery allegation being that Mr. Bathhouse bad, perhaps, incautiously given ten shillings to the mss Rodeo alter the election was over, Bert havieg stated to him that he was badly off. With respect to Thomas Hall, there was no doubt that he was an agent employed by Sir John Acton. or his committee, to go to different places end being voters op to Bridgenorth. but when he had dope that he had fulfilled his duty, sad if after the work for which he bad bees aligned was fill filled he chose, either out of seal, or for some ulterior pur pose, to pay money without the slightest authority to voters, there was not the least ground for saying that he did so as the spot for Sir John Aetoo. The leaned counsel sent dealt with the evidence adduced in support of the petitioo against Mr. Whitmore, oonteed ing that there was strong proof of the agency of Mr. Jet fr,ys, mho was shown to have offered a bribe to the witness Charlton, sod with respect to Mr. F. Hominy, there could he no doubt that he had been guilty of bribery, treating, and intimidation. Rid I speaking.] TOTNES.

Amongst the financial shares, Imperial Mercantile have improved 2s. 6d. to 56., while London Fluor vial have receded 2s. f3d.

It is worthy of notice that the successive reduc tions in the Bank rate of discount have failed to stimulate the demand for money. The demand will probably revive during the closing days of the quarter, but, unless the influences operating upon the market should undergo a decided change, it seems probable that, with the payment of the Apt dividends, a fall in the Bank rate to 5 per east. may take place.
