LEN ELECTION.

On the motion that the Speaker leave the chair, and the

government whether any inquiry had been made, or would
be instituted regarding the alleged proceedings of General
Thomas at Enniskillen, on the 19th of May lam, tor the
Grpoac of exercising an undue influence over Sergeant
.Itlnley, a pensioner residing in the said town, with refe-
rence to the disposal of his vote at the next general election ?
The SECRETARY-AT-WAR read a letter of explana-
tion from General Thomas, and other documents, in refer-
ence to the charge brought against him of employing his
intim nex as the military of in command to coerce the
vote of a pensioner at the late Enniskillen election, in
which canvassing the men on behalf of Mr. Whiteside was
admitted, but the alleged intimidation wax denied. lie (the
gallant secretary) considered Gen. Thomas hail acted with
Imprudence, but that be hail not been guilty of military inti-
midation. Helmeted, after the reading of these documents,
that every member of that house who gave credence to the tes-
timony of ,dh,ers and gentlemen, would feel convinced that
the allegations of the memorial were not true ;.while, at the
same time, he must repeat hie regret that General Thomas
should have been led into the indiscretion of at all alluding
to the subject. (Hear. hear.) He had only further to
thack the house for the attention with which they had lis-
tened to his explanation.

rise to some discussion (commenced byi Mr. PATTEN)
on the subject of • dispute between Sir J. Brooke and the

proceedings were pending on the subject.
Mr. S. HERBERT quoted from public documents dis-
tinct charges of improper interference on the part of the
