ELECTION EXPOSURES.

LIVERPOOL.
Yesterday, on the re-assemblinK of the committee,
Witham Allanson was called, and identified Mr. George
Henry Horviall as having been a member of Mackenzie and
Turner's committee. While he was at the Scotland ward,
Mr. Hotafell passed some ribbons under the counter to him.
and he gave a dozen or two to different people. Never
said to any one he bad been paid d—d well for what he had
done.

M. Wa'thew examined—Stated that he was at Pycroft's
when two postmen brought letters there, and he and his
nephew called over the names in the register hook against
those upon the letters. One of the postmen marked the
letters, witness telling them whether they were for Turner
and Mackenzie, or Cardwell and Ewart.
Cross•examined—The postmen came sometimes to the
committee roome to get the right numbers and addresses of
the voters.

James Walthew, nephew of the foregoing witness, corro-
borated this evidence. The postmen marked the letters.
whether they were " for," doubtful, or against. The post-
men came a accord time on that afternoon, and were asked
into a room, and the door locked, and the same thing trans-
pired, and they had beer and spirits, ordered by Mr. Clegg.
None of the letters were opened, and he could not say
whether there were cards or anything else enclosed. Wit-
ness called over about 30 letters in the morninn, and about
100 in the evening.

DURHAM.
Yesterday this inquiry was resumed by counsel
for the petitioners again calling
Mr. Henry Marshall, solicitor of Durham, who had been
in part examined on Saturday. The witness said he re-
mained at one of the polling booths in his capacity of re-
turning officer, from the opening to the closing of the poll,
except for a short period, when he went te another room
to poll himself. 'I he !parties acting in the booth he was at
on behalf of Mr. Fenwick, were persons named Maddison,
Elliot, and Kerr, as poll clerks; Mr. Archibald was agent
for Lord A. Vane. lie saw George Blagden and George
Green bring up a voter named Atkinson. Atkinson when
asked who he'd vote for made an observation, at which Slag-
den and Green left him, and then a considerable commotion
occurred among the crowd, which he (witness) interposed
his authority to check. He saw Blagden afterwards bring
up other voters, and they all polled for Lord A. Vane,
except Atkinson, who had deceived them. Saw a person
named Monkhouse there during the day bringing up
voters for Lord A. Vane. Thinks Mr. Word, Mr. Tip-
lady, and Mr. Stafford were Lord A. Vane's canvassers;
he heard so, and he saw George Blagden going into the
Rose and Crown, Lord Londonderry's fan, with Lord A.
Vane. He saw George Elliot and the Lambton agents
" tearing the voter, to pieces." He also saw Thorman,
another active partisan of the Vane party ; but he was not
so violent as the others. Saw • person named Robert
Hodgson, jun., come to poll • second time, but he (wit-
ness) refused to allow him, and sent for the mayor.
Blagden was there, and he asserted the man had not
polled before.
Cross.examined by Mr. Knowles—At the time the voter
Atkinson came up, Lord A. Vane was considerably ahead,
and he thought, as far as his booth went, the contest was
decided before that. The voters for Lord A. Vane were
driven up to the poll like a flock of sheep. Ile does not
mean to say he saw Blagden go into the Rose and Crown
with Lord A. Vane ; but he saw him near his lordship in
the porch, and afterwards in the passage of the inn ; but
there were several other persons also there—eight or nine
perhaps. Believes he did say that the fellows who were
coediog up )to support the petition would swear anything.
(Laughter
Mr. Serpent Kinglake objected to this answer being re-
oeived as evidence, as it was simply a matter of individual
opinion, and not • matter of fact.
Mr. Knowles having replied, it was decided the question
should not be put.
The witness, who had retired, was recalled, and on re-
examination by Mr. Overend, he said he had no doubt that,
when he saw Blagden at the Rose and Crown, he was of
Lord A. Vane's party, and was quite close to his lordship.
By the Committee—Blagden is a master currier.
John Nicholson Atkinson, examined by Serjeant King-
lake—Knows a voter named William Brown, and had some
talk with him on the polling day. They went to look for
Mr. Monk house and Mr. Jenems—they could not find
them, and then they went to Mr. Jameson, who was at the
house of George Brown. William Brown desired witnem
to go upstairs, and in a bedroom on the first landing he
found Christopher Jameson, a publican. Jameson asked
him who he was going to vote for, and he said he
had not made up his mind, that he ,(Jameson) had made him
a promise at the last election, which he had not kept, Jame-
son then said that he would give him a loan of 3d, which
witness refused ; and then Jameson left the room and came
back and threw a piece of paper on the table, saying, "
neither give it or lend it to you." Witness took it up and
found it to be aIL note. Jameson also gave him 2s. "to
get his allowance (refreshments.)" He then went down
stairs and went away. He soon after met Robert Colston ;
and, while talking to him, George Green came up and asked
him ithe had polled, and witness said no. Then a person
named Dickson came up and asked him if he had voted, and
he said no he would not vote till he got some money. He
asked witness how much he wanted, and he (witness) said
151. Dickson said that was too such, but he would give him
101. Eventually he went to the Rose and Crown, by di-
rection of Dickson, and he did so; and there he saw
George Green, ani • person come in with a len&
black, glazed coat on, and that he has since learned
was George Blagden, who asked him (witness) to go up-
stairs, in a front-room ; there Blagden desired him to sit
for three minutes. Blagden went out, and came back and
asked witness how much he wanted, and witness said 151,
when Blagden said be could have three votes for that. At
last, after some parley, Blagden first offered to place 51. in
the hands of Green, but witness would not agree to that;
then Blagden said he would place the money on the table-
cloth, and witness might lock the doo ,r and take the key
V with him, and when he had polled for ane he might come
back and take it ; witness still refused, and then Blagden
pat five sovereigns into his hand. Blagden and Green then
took him to the poll, one at each aide of him, and at the
poll he voted for Fenwick, and then said to Blagden and
Green, "How will that do for you, gentlemen ?" He after-
wards went to the committe room of Fenwick, and told this,
and next day he pointed out Blegden to Mr. Henderson.
Examined by Mr. Knowles—Witness is a turner and ma-
hogany worker. He believes he spent about 18 months in
running foot races. He never ran a race "to lose " more
than once ; that was a race for 51. He promised Mr. Fen-
wick to vote for him about five or six weeks betore the elec-
tion, as he " had the interest of the liberal party nt heart."
He planned this plot (about " selling " the conservative
party) in his own mind some weeks before the election.
Lord A. Vane and Stafford came to his shop to canvass him,
and Lord A. Vane said to him, "Now, look me in the
face, and I'll make it all right." Mr. Fenwiek's party paid
him' 1 for making a tally-board. The witness proceeded
to say he never offered a voter named Cooke 31. if he
would vote for Fenwick. He took a public-house called
the Woodman in the latter part of January, bee never said
he was to receive 1001. if he succeeded in unseating Lord A.
Vane. lie never said anything of the kind. He never
took possession of the public-house. He was to have taken
it from Mr. Thompson, who proposed Mr. Fenwick at the
last election, _ _ . -

William Atkinson, brother of the last witness, and en at-
torney's clerk at the time of the election, but now a colleo-
tor of taxes, said he saw his brother on the day of the elec-
tion. They went together into a public house, and his
brother took five sovereigns and a 61. note out of his pocket,
and asked him (witness) to take care of them for him,
saying that he had got the five sovereigns from Blagden
and the 61. note from Jamieson to vote for Lord A. Vane,
but he voted for Mr. Fenwick. (The witness produced the
money now which his brother gave him on the day of the
election.)
Cress-examined—He was asked by Mr. Fenwick'e com-
mittee to keep the money, and mark it so that he might
know it. He suspected, when he heard that, that there
would be a petition. He bad advanced dl. or 61. to his
brother in consequence of this money being withheld. He
knows his brother intended to vote for Mr. Fimwick from
the fir‘t commencement of the canvass.
William Knightly said, on the polling day he overheard
a conversation between Blagden and lurnbull, a voter.
Blagden asked him if 51. would do, and Turnbull replied,
"51., and lam for Lord A. Vane." He then distanotly
saw Blagden drop five sovereigns into Turabull's bend,
telling him at the same tints he had better go and poll
at once. Turnbull said he would not for an hour, and
they (Turnbull and Blagden) made an appointment when
they were to meet again. Turnbull, as he was going away,
saw him (witness), and he gave him ls., telling • to
keep what ho had seen "squat," meaning that he not
to say anything about it. Ide told Mr. Fenwick that sense
evening.
The committee then adjourned to this morning.

PETERBOROUGH.
When the committee met yesterday, Mr. lames
commenced summing up the came on behalf of the peg-

t.••ners, insisting that the election ended, as it began, by
Mentes g as the part of the sitting member, Mr. Whalley,
ly giving • tea party on a very large scale for the evident
tut ot eof influencing the votes of the electors through their
ea is t rand daughters who were at that party ; and by hiring
%large number of committee-rooms at public-houses for in-
fluencing the keepers of those houses by • means
for which, he thought, it was not too much to say that it
deserved some special legislative enac:ment to put it down ;
and for these reasons he railed upon the committee to
declare the last election for Peterborough • void election.
Mr. Serjeant Allen then addressed the committee for the
sitting member. Ile said he approached the task* had
then to undertake with the greatest anxiety. They were
then in the ninth day of that inquiry—nine days. be had
almost said, of vituperation against Mr. Whalley—ter-
taiy of high colouring. It had been said of his client,
in • sneering way, that he was a person of eloquence, as
if that was his only claim to present himself to a con-
stituency. But he thought it right to state that Mr.
Whalley was • gentleman of fortune, ample in every
respect to entitle hinl ro attk the honour of • seat in the
pause of Commons. Ile contended that the evidence
• • emeous domination tier-
thawed but too p.':"411 the

Miasmal • of Lord Fitswilliam, a peer of the realm, who
was bound not to interfere, directly or indirectly, with the
election of a member for the Lower 11011110,
The sadrem of the learned mrjeant bad not concluded
when the Speaker was announced to be at prayers, and the
committee adjourned to this morning.

Yesterday, after some further unimportant evi-
dence, the committee declared Mr. Oakes duly elected.

Yesterday Mr. O'Brien was examined, and dis-
claimed all connexion with the disturbances that took
place at the last election. Ile was a protestant, but enjoyed
the support of the Boman catholic,.

Mr. Atkinson sums up for Sir .1. Fitr.gersid, and Mr.

IRELAND.

Drumm, Jva

The long-wished-for rain has at leogth arrived,
and fell in copious and fertilising showers during
yesterday and last night. It is a remarkable cir-
cumstance that no rain had fallen in this part of
Ireland for about five weeks previously, with the
exception of some scanty showers for one day a
fortnight since, so that the long continued drought
became at length a subject of serious alarm. During
the whole of the period of dry weather the wind
was easterly; but it changed for a short time yes-
terday to the west, and thence to the south; while,
this morning, it has returned to the west with some
prospect of continuing at that point. Never do we
remember a change in the weather more anxiously
desired by those interested in agriculture than that
has been which has just taken place.
A fatal boiler accident took place on board a
steamboat, on the Grand Canal, at Shannon Harbour,
on Saturday. A man was in the act of screwing a
nut on a door of the boiler, when he overstrained
the bolt, and the door flew open, allowing the boil-
ing water and steam to escape. The engineer, who
leaves a large family, was so dreadfully scalded that
he died immediately alter, and the no-fortunate man
by whose act the occurrence was caused lies in so
dangerous a state that no hopes are entertained of his
recovery.
Two other inquests were held on Saturday, on the
bodies of persons killed by the explosion on board
the Times, Dublin and Liverpool steamer. In one
of the verdicts the jury desired to impress on the
government the necessity of having the boilers of
steam ships more frequently inspected.
The number of visitors at the Great Exhibition, on
Saturday-, was 5,662, being much larger than on any
previous day since the opening. The reduced charge
of admission takes effect to-day.
The Freemen says that Dr. *Hale is recovering
from the illness by which his life was threatened a
few days since.
Two young ladies, belonging to a boarding-school
at Loughrea, were drowned while bathing on
Wednesday.
Mr. O'Hara, the recorder of Galway, has resigned
his office.

SPORTING.
TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAT.

Although several events were brought under notice,
Speculation moved but slowly.
For the Ascot Stakes 8 to 4 was booked to a good deal of
money about the favourite, the layers being the first to
slacken. 100 is 15 was taken three or four times about
Nervous. 10, 9, and Bto 1 about King Pepin, and similar
odd., to various small sums, about Little Davie. 1001. was
laid out in favour of Rissaborough at 12 to 1.
Investments at 2 to 1 shout Pelion for the Gold Vase had
the effect of sending him out of the market for the Em-
peror's Plate. 3 to 2 and 2 to 1 were taken about Rataplan,
but the outlay was only very moderate.
Emention'is Pr-a.m.—At the commencement 2 to 1 was
taken repeatedly in hundreds about each of the leading
favourites ; towards the close, however, 6 to 2 was laid
&ireful each. Finally, Stockwell had decidedly the call of
Teddington, 2 to 1 being taken about him, and 5 to 2 laid
against the latter. Kingston, reported en route, advanced
from 10 to Bto 1 taken ; 10 and 9 to 1 taken about Defi-
soft, and 12 to 1 to " a little " about Weathergagc.
The Derby betting was especially remarkable for the
number of horses backed at so early a period at 25 and 20
to 1. The circumstance is, to the best of our remem-
brance, quite unparalleled.

RIDGWAY V. BWITD.

The bill in this MO was filed to restrain the defendant
from proceeding at law to enforce the payment of the
minimum rent of 300/. per annum, reserved under a mining
lease, which had turned out to be of very little value, and
also to restrain the defendant from bringing actions for
breach of covenants contained in the same lease to work the
mine continuously and uninterruptedly and in a proper
manner.
_ . . . .

The defendant had demurred to the bill generally.
Mr. Bacon and Mr. Illslop Clarke, in support of the de-
murrer, contended that the plaintiff had entered into these
covenants and must abide by them. The object of the lease
in fixing a minimum rent in addition to the royalty upon
the coals obtained was, that ',Let rent should be paid at all
events. The allegations in the bill, which must be admitted
to be true for the purpose of the present demurrer, only
amount to the fact of the plaintiff having at present failed
in hie mining operations. It was not the case of a party
seeking to be relieved from covenants, the performance of
which would be ruinous to the party against whom they
were enforced, and of no use to the party enforcing them.
Mr. Itolt and Mr. Itudal for the other side were not
heard.__ . .

lite Honour said that the bill assumed two aspects, and
he gave no opinion as to the payment of 3001. per annum,
but as to the other part, the bill stated that the defendant
threatened to bring further actions in respect of the cove-
nants fur working the mine in • particular manner. On
that point there was an equity disclosed by the bill, and
therefore the demurrer must be overruled.

SIMI Vica-CsAscazoa SWAIM
IN Tal MATTER or PUIMOILD'a CUARITY.

In the year 1710 Mr. PuWord, the then vicar of Leighton
Buzzard, in the county of Bedford, gave certain copybold
premises in that parish to certain trustees in trust to pay the
act inctue thereof to the vicar of Leighton B d for the
time being for the augmentation of his benefit, But if the
profits of the vicarage should be more than 1001. a year then
the surplus was to be disposed of in and towards the teach-
ing of the children of the poor of the town of Leighton Bos-
sard to read and write. In the year 1849, upon a petition
presented in this matter, reference was made to the Muter
for • scheme. Upon that proceeding it appeared that the
vicar's salary exceeded 100!. a-year ; but that a curate was
engaged whose employment was rendered necessary on ac-
count of the enormous increase of the population of the
perish, and that the vicar contributed 20/. a-year towards
the salary of the curate • 801. a-year, the residue of the
curate's salary being defrayed by the society for the employ-
ment of additional curates in populous places. A scheme
had been settled by the Muter in which the vicar's salary
was estimated at 1001 a-year, 'cavil's him to pay thereout
20/. a-year towards the curate. The cage now came on upon
• petition for confirmation of the Master's report.
Mr. Bacon in support of the petition ; Mr. Dickenson for
the vicar ; and Mr. T. H. Terrell for the Attorney-General.
The only question was as to whether the vicar should re-
ceive the extra 2W. a year he paid towards the curate's sti-
pend or not.
The Vice-Chancellor said it being apparent that the ern-
ploymeat of a curate was necessary, the payment of 201. a
year to the curate was • necessary deduction from the'
vicar's profits. The primary object of the testator was to
give the vicar a clear income of 1001. a year. The charity
school was a setudary consideration with the testator.
His Honour, therefore, confirmed the report with the alte-
ration allowing the 201. a year as • deduction from the
vicar's income, to be made up out of the charity, and appro-
priating the rplus rents for the purposes of the school.

LUMLEY e. GTE.—APPLICATION TO POSTPONE TRIAL.
Mr. Creasy applied for a rule calling upon the plaintiff
to show cause why the trial of the issues of facts in this ease
should not be postponed until after the trial of the issues at
law ; or, if that arm refusal, why the trial altnelil ant kw
postponed to the sittings after next Michaelmas Term. The
first-branch of this application turned upon the New Com-
mon Law Procedure Act, by which it was enacted that it
should be in the discretion of the judge to direct that the
trial of the issues of fact should be postponed until after the
issues of law " were disposed of." It was the intention in
this ease to appeal against the judgment delivered by this
court upon last Friday to a Court of Error, hence the issues
of law were not yet disposed of.
The learned judges having referred to the net, Lord
Campbell said that they were of opinjon that the words
" until after the issues were disposal of" meant until they
were disposed of by the court in which the action was
brought. Now this court had, in that sense, disposed of
the issues of law by giving their judgment for the plaintiff.
With the proceedings before the Court of Error they had
nothing to do so far a this application went.
Mr. Creasy said that he would then go the second branch
of his application, viz., the postponement of the trial until
the sittings after Michaelmas term next. The affidavits ,
upon which he moved stated that a previous action had
been commenced in the Court of Exchequer, as early as
April, 1852; which, after proceeding for some time, was
dropped, and the present action commenced in this court.
No delay had been made on the part of the defendant; but
the learned gentleman stated that the plaintiff had not
followed up the matter with due vigour. The affidavits
further set forth that it would be necessary to the defence
that Miss Wagner and other persons, residing in Germany,
should be examined, which examination would have to be
done by commission. If the trial were to come on in the
ordinary course, there would be no time for the examina-
tion of these witnesses.
Mr. Justice Crompton—lf you apply at chambers for a
commission to examine witnesses, you will have time, as a
matter of course.
Mr. Creasy admitted that this was so. He would not
have brought the matter before the full court had it not been
for the importance and novelty of the first part of hie ap-
plication.
Lord Campbell said that portion of the learned gentle-
man's rule having been refused, he had better apply at
chambers in the ordinary course.
Rule refused.
Re FULLER, AN ATTORNEY.—LOAN OP • Waits.—
STRIKING AN ATTORNEY 017 THE ROLLS.
In this case an attachment had been obtained by Mr.
Atherton for an attachment against Mr. J. E. Fuller, an
attorney at Eirminghem, for neglecting to answer certain
matters, in obedience to a rule of this court. The charge
against him was that he had entered into arrangements
with a barber named Humphreys, and another person
named Mill, for the collection of smalli debts; these two
persons being permitted to use his name as an attorney for
the purpose of serving notices and requiring the payment of
debts. A letter also was in existence, in which Mr. Fuller
had stated that Humphreys might use his acme as ea
attorney upon payment of Itis. a week. Fuller now MN
op to receive the sentence of the tout.
Mr. Dowdeswell, in his behalf, did not deny the facto,
but urged that his client was driven by the pressure et
poverty to adopt the course he had.
Mr. Atherton, in praying judgment, said he would k
Mr. Fuller in the hands of the court.
Mr. Justice Erie (the senior pains° judge sitting),
sentence. His lordship said that the practice of a
ponces to on his num by an attorney might lead Was
woe ponadolows mossigoonoss. Under the circumstimeem,
however, and eessideriag that Mr. Fuller had not sought
to justify his naiad, the wort only sentenced him to
three months' imptiomosat.
Mr. Fuller thee zees in the body of the court, and said
that any imprisonment would be the death of him," as
he was suffering stades a complaint of the heart. He did
not seek to jusufy the act which he had committed, but
geed that their lordships would order his name to be
struck off the Rolls, instead of imprisoning him.
Mr. Justice Erle (having consulted the other judges),
said that, as they possessed the power, they would order
Mr. Fuller's name to be struck off the Rolls, in lieu of the
three months' imprisonment.

The defendants in this cue were formerly attorneys for
the plaintiff, and he now sued them to recover • balance
which he alleged to be due to him. The ease came on for
trial before r. Judo. Talfoord, and the jury gave • ver-
dict for the plaintiff for 381. 10s. 4d.
It appeared that the defendants received under au execu-
tion 2281. 2s. 10d. on account of the plaintiff, and of
this sum they gave him • cheque for 1661. 18s. 6d.
This would leave a balance due to him of 711. de. 4d.;
hut this there were charges for costs amounting
is lie., and, in addition to all this, the defendants
skimmed %seism the plaintiff with lief., part of the cost of
deluding Mu. Spry, his sister-in-law, upon a groundless
durge of murder. A great deal of evidence was given at
the trial ; but the question in the cause was whether the
defendants were entitled to chugs the costs of defending
Mrs. Spry against the plaintiff. The jury haying found for
the plaintiff, a rule was obtained to set aside this verdict,
end have a new trial, upon the ground that the verdict was
