ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF

The Chairman said the committee bad decided that the
evidence of the witness might be proeeeded with.
Mr. E. Ellis, M.P.: We have opened to us a general alle-
gation of bribery, not an individual ease, and therefore we
are bound, under the recent statute, to receive evidence with-
out agency being proved.
The witness was recalled • What I meant by healing old
sores, was the payment of money promised at the last election.
I told Mr. Casterton that I would not vote for Lord Lennox
unless I was paid 51. 1 considered I was entitled to that
sum for boas of time. I was told to go to Mr. Green", a
druggist in the town, and he would give me a plaster. I
knew he meant three sovereigns.
Another long legal argument ensued u to the necessity of
proving agency, which ended by the committee deciding
that the examination of witnesses might be proceeded with.
After the examination of witnesses, whose tesimony was
the same in all respects as that already reported, a long dis-
cussion ensued' between cour.sel as to the necessary evidence
to prove agency. The arguments were not concluded when
the committee adjourned.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
GREAT YARMOUTH.—This committee met again
yeet-rday.
Samuel C. Bankes I em a freeman of Yarmouth. I
am a seaman. I was canvassed by the Tory party before the
election by several gentlemen in that interest. I know a
wan of the name of Castenon; he asked me for my vote.
I said no, 1 shall not vote until the old wound is cured. By
that I want until back arrears were paid.
Mr. O'Malley objected to this mode

the
inquiry. No proof of anew, had been
attempted to be shown that Mr. Carleton was a recognized
agent of the sitting members.
Mr. Serjeant Wranghmn addrersed the committee at con-
siderable length against the objection. It was not required
to prove agency if there was clear evidence of voter' being
bribed.
Mr. O'Malley replied, and contended that if eon mites mit

no Isenberg' seat would be safe.
The room wee cleared. Oa the madmission of stranger a
