ELECTION EXPOSURES.

CHATHAM.

When the select committee re-assembled yesterday
morning,
Sir Frederick Smith, the sitting member, who had been
partly examined on Tuesday, was again called, and gave
the following additional evidence in answer to Mr. Serpent
Wrangham—ln reference to the cave of Hogg, mentioned
yesterday, for whom I had obtained the situation of steward
ea
board a ship, I received the following letter from him.
[The letter was read by counsel, and stated that the writer
would not have troubled Sir F. Smith again, did he not feel
the absolute necessity of obtaining some employment betare
the winter set in.] In reference to Naylur's case I never
seed the words, ". When a horse runs away you must
stop him before anything can be done." With regard
so a person named Sibbit, I have no recollection
of him at all, and I never used the expression, My
!earliest friends will be earliest thoaght of." I said, with
respect to a man who refused me his vote, that I considered
him a friend for giving me an early answer. I never
authorised a person named Coldgate to call upon Bibbet on
my behalf. I recollect Mr. Stallard, late Secretary to the
Admiralty, being at Chatham, but I never conversed with
any one at Chatham in oompaoy with Mr. Stafford.
Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Kinglake—l made it
known in March that I was going to stand for Chatham. I
made it known at a public meeting, at the Sun Inn there. I
stated I would support a conservauve government. I don't
think I said " Lord Derby's government." Ido find it
rather puzzling is remember all 1 may have said at an elec-
tion time. When I entered upon my canvass, it was tho-
roughly impressed upon my mind to make ne promires [of
places]. What impressed that thoroughly on my mind
was because I had been told a great number of
applications would be made, and I determined to
resist them ; my reason for that resolution was
because the voters at Chatham are in a very
low station of life ; that was the character of the consti-
tuency generally. Deadedly I draw a distinction between
promising a place before and after an election. When I
embarked in that election I resolved to make no man a pie-
raise of a place till after he had promised me his vote. I
have no recollection of the date of the first application
made to me from Chatham for a place, after I began my
canvass ; I kept no memorandum of those applications.
have gone to the Admiralty very often, but very seldom to
make applications. I have gone there between the time
of the commencement of my canvass, and the time of

voting. I can't tell how many applications I made to
the Admiralty. I think they might be more than 20 ; in
fact. I feel positive about that. Those applications were
made between March and the election. They were situa-
tions for labourers chiefly, and boys in the ropery. I can't
tell if the majority of those applicants were either voters or
the relatives of voters. The names were given in to me by
the members of the old Conservative Club. A man named
Honey I obtained a situation for as weigher ; a man named
Potts I got the situation of a tidewaiter for ; and a young
men named Greathead I got into the Post-office. Letters
et application for situations which I could not obtain, I
*sow into the fire. I made one application to the Gri-
mace for a clerkship, for a person named Green, son to the
sleek of the works at Chatham,
_who voted for me. I think
that was after the election. My communicatious with the
Admiralty were chiefly through Mr. Grant, private secre-
tary to Mr. Stafford, whose fattier and grandfather I had
known intimately. I did not declare myself at Chatham
to be " the government candidate." I think that unlikely.
I knew that Cooper had been on the other side, and there-
fore n expected that he would give me his vote. It was
very likely because Pitts was reinstated I got Cooper's vote.
I believe it was. I had been at the Admiralty with Wells.
sen., in consequence of getting no answer to my letter. I
don't know whether Wells was aware Cooper would vote for
me if Pitts was reinstated. I was going to the Admiralty
then about some other Chatham voters. I can't tell who
they were. I made no application for Pita. I only made
a remonstrance to have justice done him. I have no doubt
Ackworth said to me Cooper would give me his vote if
Pitts was reinstated. My only answer was that I would
have the affair properly investigated, and never with re-
ference to Cooper's vote, but as an act of justice, for I
thought Pitts had been ill-treated. In Mr. Hill's presence
and mine, at the Sun, I heard Ackworth state he would
vote for me if Pitts was reinstated, and he would endeavour
to get me 16 or 20 other votes. It might have been gestated.
Mr. Hill said he would have nothing to do with it if Cooper
was mixed up with it. I addressed a letter to Mr. Grant at
the Admiralty, and sent It by Aekwerth, saying, " the
bearer of this is Mr. Ackworth, who can explain Pitts' pay
to you ; I beg you will give him an answer." Some weeks
after that I saw Cooper, who said he was cruelly deceived,
and that I could not have done my best, as two other men
had been appointed, and Pitts was shoved out. I said I
was very sorry. Cooper than went away. He was in such
a fary he was foaming at the mouth. With reference to
Tatters the name of Cooper was never mentioned. Tatton
told me he wished very much to support me. I only saw
him once. I think I saw Naylor only once. I first saw
John Driver in the street; he came up to me and tendered
me his vote. I saw him the same day after that at the Sun.
He is a bricklayer. Wks* he called on me at the Sun, he
said "I've • son in the same trade as myself, I want
to get him an appointment." I said " Is he a good
workman ?" sad he said " Hs is, and a good charao-
ter." I said I would like to see him. I sent him down
to Portsmouth, and atter that the father complained I
had sent the son to a contract job, and not a permanent
situation. I seat that man to Portsmouth because his lather
wanted me to do so. If the father did not promise me I
would have done the same. I did cot send him because the
father promised to vote for me. It did not occur to me that
the man was bartering his vote. He was an old, sturdy
conservative, and I think he required nothing to confirm
him in his vote. I heard after the election that Driver had
refused to take the bribery oath. With reference to Brad-
shaw, the first time I saw him he came to me and promised
me him vote. Mr. Wells, jun., was more with me on my
cannot than any one else; he is a large timber merchant.
The second time I saw Bradshaw I shook hands with him,
and said I was always glad to see my supporters. Nothing
else occurred then. Bradshaw did not say to me, " I
undentaad I'm going to give you my vote, and if you
will be so good as to get me into Greenwich I shall, be
much obliged." Bradshaw said to me, over and over
again, he hoped I would get him into Greenwich, but did
not ever couple them together—the vote and the getting
into Greenwich. The next time I saw him was at my office
in London. I told him I was at my office every Friday.
Mr. Wells may have told him where ray office was. I think
ke hadno intimation of it from me. I took him to the
Admiralty, and saw Mr. Briggs there, who is what is called
• reader. I made Bradshaw no promise before the election,
but after the election I told him I would do my best to do
so with pleasure. I did say to Bradshaw, in London, I
would get him into Greenwich if I could, but I feared my
interest was not strong enough. I knew Bradshaw had a
pension of 161. a year, and he said if he got into Greenwich
the government would be the ininen, as his keep would
not cost 151. Mr. Oreathead is a person of respectable
appearance. He is a chemist at Chatham. He was quite a
stranger to me till the last election. I was astonished at Mr.
Greathead applying tome to get his son into the Post-office,
as I thought he was in a superior station of life. I was glad
to be able to serve the father through his son, as I thought
the son would be a very good recruit for the Post-office. For
the kindness the father showed me, I was glad to serve the
son. It was not because the father promised to vote for me,
but as a civil return for hie canvassing for me, and promis-
ing me his support. I mean by promising to support me
that he promised me his vote. It was not the sole reason of
my getting the eon into the Poet-office that)). would be a
very good recruit for the post-office, but because I was dis-
posed to oblige the father. I did not know the son was at
that time a tailor in London, and in ill health. I did it first
to oblige the father, and next to give the public a good
servant, as I think people in low stations are not the
fittest for a public office. I made no inquiry about the
son's character except from his father. Most decidedly
• consideration for the public service was what led me to
make this recommendation, and to oblige the father, who
canvassed actively for me. I heard in this room yesterday
with great disgust that Mr. Greathead had promised to
vote for Admiral Stirling. I now see I misjudged the
man—be was unworthy of my confidence. He did vote for
me. If I had known he had promised Admiral Stirling
I would not have recommended the son to a Post-office
situation, because I would have doubted the son of such a
father. I never canvassed any one at work in the dockyard.
Willism Madrills voted for me. I did not promise him an,
place ; he wanted to get into the Ordnance or the Admi-
ralty, but I did not promise him. When I heard of a fa-
vourable result to any of my applications for situations I
did not often communicate it to Mr. Wells, the chairman of
my committee. I did sometimes communicate it to him,
but mostly the results were communicated to the applicants
themselves. I hive not the slightest idea of what hos bosoms
of the canvass Ig)tik. I never made any inquiry for it.
