Croso-ezusined b Mr. Serjeant Kiraglake—Witness did
not know, during the election, that Minder, his oink, had
hired committee-rooms at public-houses for *solution of

different public-bow where the amen mud to meet. He'
merely drank a littlo ale or something elm, sad after saying
a few wards to the electors "jut to keep them to the
point," he went away, bat believes every one paid for what
they drank on those occasions. He spoke distinctly to the
Milani., when he saw partite ring the bell, order drink,
and pay for It. He did not see any one have drink who
did rot pay for it. Most positively be never prelim Dar-
hag, landiady of the Ship, any order for • sapper for

as this inquiry was over. NI Anus had so objection to tell
what was the amount of his retaining fee for oceducting the
Amiss for Lord C. Wellesley, if the committee thought he
amid de es.
The sotheettee decided that Mr. Voile, might um his
own dine lots in the matter, and he then said he would
deegino he amswer the question.

much, that be bad Is esaplisin to one of the most moppet-
able men of the other party. Th► learned serialist was pro-
ceeding to erecexamine the witness as to the evidence of
Wiz and Dawes; bat
Tire Charms intimated that be thought it was not as-
curacy to p
_farther into that part of the evidence, as the
conusittise bad a very strong and unanimous opinion ea the
subject.
Ite-examined by Mr. Merewethcr—Lord C. Wellesley's
fiascos committee had given the solicitors' clerks &present
fee themselves (including witness's clerk Meader), but
witness bad nothing to do with it. What he means by the
.1001. or 4001. which passed through his hands was mosey
which he got from the finance committee as he wanted it ;
and, consequently, he kept no account of it.
By the Committee—lt is not his practice; ea a man of
business, to defer the payment of the bills till after it was
ascertained if there was to be a lietition. Is this instance
it was deferred till the bills could be examined ; and, owing
to the death of the late Duke of Wellington, Lord C.
Wellesley did not come down to Windsor to be present at
the examination of the bills at the time it was intended,
and in the meantime this petition was presented. This
"roughs' were quite a new festers at elections at Wind-
sor. They were first introduced at Mr. Walter's election,
four or five years ago. The 1,5001., which he thinks would
be the expenses of the election on Lord C. Wellealey's
part, is altogether • electoral estimate, and includes his
((wit,
own fee an those of the other professional
gontlemen.
Mr. Frederick Twinch was next examined. He stated
that he is a brewer at Windsor, and was chairman of Lerd
C. Wellesley's committee. There was a finance committee
aloe formed, of which he was likewise chairman; that COI.•
maten was to exercise entire control over the expenditure
of the election. Witness heard Lord C. Wellesley declare
at Mr. Voules's house that he would not countenance any
improper expenditure. Manda used to come to the edema
with • letter from Mr. Voules fur money as it was wanted,
sad be gave it. Thinks the first sum he gave was 601., by
a ahns ; he took no receipt, as he considered Wales's
1~ woe sufficient for him, and that the cheque would
week for itself. Witness heard Lord C. WelliWiry repeat
kis thistisainsiess of any improper aspeaditure at met.
