Mr. V. SMITH said the clause swami to have berm
latredeeed to meet a perthader ease, sash as that et Hors-
ham TM better muse would be es to alter the abase as
to plass .11 unseametel madidetes is se good s podded as
though they had come Were the somaittee on petitlea.
Sir E. COLSBILOOSII silo suggested some altsrettea la
the Meuse.

Mr. NEWDINIATI thought it desirable that the bill
amid be reprinted, es peat doubt nista enretwist has.
seabete what part of the bill was to be proceeded with.

Mr. SOWN IiZLL PALMIk reserved te the preesedier
on the woad Ogniteahass deaden petition, and said it wag
most desirable that the leglelenare should , nude the law
oa bribery and vesting, so u to exclude the doubts
that were constantly arising. rat • committee be
appointed to inquire into' those doubtful pedals, and •
bill afterwards brought is to remove them. (Hear, hear.)
It was fobs to suppose that they_were only legiaLatiag with
regard .to the spuds! rases of Horsham and Culteahasa.
Bury person woirld be disqualified if only cartel* soden
were affixed to the walls, pacing " that he we guilty of
bribery sad treating." If Wit was proved, they distran-
chimed the coastituency, sad gave it up to a perms who had
forty or fifty votes only. He had no hesitation is ogles
that he was Indy of opinion that the declaim la the Chel-
tenham use wu right, and that that of the Ma Chas wies
wee wrong. If they loft this matter opea till the mil ge-
neral flecks it would give rise to a number of petition's.
Whit be should suggest we, that if the eaudidalei who was
la • agarnity, sad had takes no part is say bribery or treat.
ismslicald obtain a certain &umber of rota—whasever aura-
her the hoses shall deemjniMcient is sack a oue—he shield,
in order S. prevent bribery and treating, and to give a pre-
mium to integrity aid hosoarable conduct, obtain the seat
of the candidate who was In the majority, but who had been
proud to be Dilly of those punier.
Mr. BUNBUBY said this, es • member of the Horsham
committee, he oases to the unsinsisa to which they hut ar
rived, sib • fall MIRY MAU enneegaenoes which 'night be
drawn from it ; but they lied sew IS it because they had
believed themerhise baud by the adding state of the law,
although at the lbw he smidgen' that law to be very un-
satisfactory. U. hoped the *see would be meintabiod, but
with the adoption of the suggestion of the right hon. geode-
rasa,

Sir J. PAHINGTON sad. he proposed to postpone*,
dame with a view to its alteration. (Hear, Deer.)

Lord MASON expressed his totteurrence in the remarks
a the ben. sad learned member to Plymouth, as to the
mean matilintory state of the law whit regard to bribery
and bowies sad hoped that in the salmon semi= the
hoses wadi institute ea inquiry on the enbjeot by means of
a select semmittee. (Hear, bear.) What bnbery was at
the present, depended kes en the state of the law than on
the view whieb any particular committee might set up.
(Hear, hear.) He any
not think that refreshments given to
rot- re honestly and hirly, not money or riotous entertain-
tainment supplied to voters in towns, should be considered
as violating the law. With raped to the clause under dn.
cession, it formed no pan etas skied and as a mem-
ber oldie committee hie acct bill,
not think that it
bad been sufficiently amaidered.
Mr. ARMSTRONG hoped that the hon. baronet would
persevere in earning out the principle of the drum.

Mr. G. HEATHCOTE did not think them would be
any corruption if each member gave a small ticket of re•resh-
ment to the voters • the day of election was looked upon as
a holiday time, and the voters would think it labospital if
they were not to get refreshments • there was nothing like
general bribery at Me county skinning.
The clause was then negatived, the remaining claues were
agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be reprinted.

AFFIRMATION BILL.
Oa the nodes that tilt bill be reed e third tine,

Mr. LAW said be lid sot ries for the purpose of dismiss-
ing the emeriti or demerits of the bill, bat be did dot wish to
have it said that it pared with hie coaeurreses; he thought
they might as well shut up courts of justice at ow* if this
bill passed; he thought that the plabitff and defendant in
every *MAW court of justice had s right to the benefit of
the testimony of witnesses on the most solemn assurance of
euraety upon oath. (Hear., hear.)
The homes then divided.

Oa the simian that Ma bill. do pass,

Mr. NEWDBOATR coesplainedoi the Mita with which
the atoesure had been atielsrsted through the house. It
the principle et this bill wee good, it headed directly to the
abolidow el all oaths, and thu sooner that abolition took place
now the better.

Mr. LAW, amidst loud aria of " Oh, oh," was net sur-
prised that hon. gentlemin should be unwilling to hear,
perhaps for the first time, the contents of the Mn which '
they bad just affirmed by an accidental majority. This
bill struck at the not of all testimony given in courts of
justice. for they now 'auctioned the priaciple that testimony
not given on oath was entitled to egad weight with
evidence gime on oath. It struck, therefore, at the adminis-
tration of public justice in this country. He hoped it was
nit purposely so; he haw that the wet hardened crimi-
nals shrunk ben giving tostimamy oe oath. An instance of
that occurred hot kog ago. A person was charged with
houso-breekieg in company with two others, the defeats* of
Neu two isedividesk was en alibi. The other party pleaded
guilty, eml, as snob, was a competent witness against the
Mims; he wished to mesa them, and made the most
