111 E ELFA'TION INqt OtT LA PENSF-..
The TOWN CLERK was about to read a v.viespoodenott
with the Lords of the Treasury in reference to the
tkeporation account of the expenses incurred by the
election inquiry.
Mr. Moo I.ToN, and others, enquired e hat was the total
amount expended
The Tow 1.1,10: rltiblitla between L.:island 000, sad
that the claim ieut to the Lords of the Treasury was
am 17s. Pd. This it seemed "My Lords " considered
much in excess of other boToughs, sad a long terra-
pondence ensued :-
Oa April 25th a letter was received from the Treasury
Chambers. signed It. It. W. Lingen, saying the expendi-
ture promised to be incurevil was "very mach in excess"
of that f !sufficient in other boroligha, and "(Sr ahevs
the amount" their lordships would repay. Altering - the
Town 1101 l should not have been allowed to cacenlL:M;
Azu for the Judge's accommodation must not he ca.-ceded
the usual allowance for Judge s carriage and horses WI&
.4435. a day with lac. 6d, each for coachman and footman.
The Town Clerk replicd the same day, mating the out-
lay on the Town hall was unavoidable, and that as to the
Judge's lodgings his lonlship required "such bedroom
accommodation as only two available houses in Poole or
the neighbourhood could furnish, and the gentlemen
occupying these houses declined to let their housesi, except
at the sum before named, viz., lOU guineas." Under the
peculiar circumstances a favourable consideration of the
expenditure was asked.
On 2tith April Mr. W. Law, C. 11., write. Irons Truantry
Chambers, that their lordships retain the opinion that the
charges for Court Ileum of about 11.50 and for Judge's
lodgings .06 are "altogether excessive and unreason-
able." It will have to be shown that no more moderate
provision could have been made, and nothing of the
sharacter of •d permanent improvement in the Tows Hall
will be allowe for.
So the matter remained until the acceunt was sent in.
After long consideration, on 2Uth October Mr. Law wrote
stating that on the £ll6 3s. 11d. for fitting up the Court
iina.......rofeesional opinion would be taken 1:11k for judge's
anyOrwas reduced to 1:55, the highest amount allowed in
the recent trial,; explanation was asked as to
cleans for horses and whale, ec., nine days, whereas the
"-mu only lasted eight; A 1 for court keeper was reduced
to .e4,' Istatione7 bill of .€7 fi, Va. was said to be excesaire,
and their lordships would not admit at all .C 1 la. Pd. for
Cords of admission- they cut the whole amount down to
at. • .Clb Bs. for police as javelin men was disallowed—
those In court (for which 114 was allowed) should have
acted as escort; the claim of the Mayor of £5Le. slay
for eight days' attendance was reduced to 13 ads; the
Town Clerk's claim of .1= 4s. for eight days' attendance
was disallowed a. 'not required under the Act."
On Oct. Vaid, the Town Clerk replied that the requisi-
tions of the Judge's clerk were so priwise and unusual
that only two hinees in l'oule would meet them, and
neither of them could be rented for a less bum than um
charged; the nine days homes and carriage included Lin
day of the Judge's arrival: the extra police charged were
obtdine,i from Southampton at the express request of his
lordship; as to his own charge as Tuwn Clerk he was
informed by other Town Clerks it was usual for that
tater to attend the Mayor during the trial, and snore-
ovor upon toy 16,reaenting myself before his loniship,
was requested by •a; addroamg me as Mr. Town Clerk,
' You a ill sit at my right hand upon the bench' : I there-
fore concluded that I Was performing a iletlM.Ctry duty."
