COCKERMOUTH.

MR. AOLIOXIIT

Shortly actirtfteeonstm'tteen;Cyeaterday the
room waa cleared, and after an interval of about two hours
the
The
were again admitted, when
The Chairman announced the following decision of the
committee :

" That the committee have unanimously resolved that H.
Aglionby, Esq., was duly elected to serve as • burgess in the
present parliament at the last election for the borough of
Cockermouth.
" The committee think it necessary to report to the house
that M. it. Benson, the accredited agent of the sitting
member, was a party to the removal to the house of a rela-
tive of his, a voter named Isaac Groves, who bad promised
to vote for General Wyndham, with a view to preventing
his voting as he had intended.
" The committee also report that the said M. M. Benson
was employed a short time before the election, under sus-
picious circumstances, in the withdrawal of an execution
against the goods of • voter named Joseph Wharton,
against whom judgment had been obtained in the county
court, on a suit in which h• (Benson) was attorney for the
plaintiff
" The committee think it right further to report that •
man named Joseph Martin was proved to have purchased •
horse from a voter named H. Willis, who had promised his
vote to the sitting member, General: Wyndham, for the
sum of 121., a sum far exceeding its real value, with a view
to corruptly influencing his vote, and that the said H. Willie
subeequently voted for Mr. Aglionby and Mr. Horatian;
bat that this transaction does not appear to the committee
to hays taken plan with the sanction or privity of Mr.
Aglionby or his agents.
" The committee further report that a voter named
Thomas Dempster was unduly influenced and corruptly
induced by John Steel, his employer, to forbear giving his
vote for the sitting member, General Wyndham, as be bid
promised. _ _ _

" Also that a voter named W. Smethurst was unduly in-
duced by his employer, J. Wilson, to forbear giving his
vote to the sitting member, General Wyndham, as he had
promised ; but that neither of those transactions appeared
to the committee to have taken place with the sanction or
privity of Mr. Aglionby or his agents."
The case of the petition against General Wyndham, or. the
ground of undue influencing of voters by treating, was
then opened by Mr. Serjeant Kinglake, and some evidence
given to that effect.
The committee then adjourned to this morning.
