logs of bath the committees. Witnees never gave any money
fur an improper eapenditure, nor did the finance committee
do so. Atter the election au advertisement was inserted in
one of the Windsor pipers, desiring all parties to whom the
committee were indebted to send in their bills. Four bills
were seat in, and he showed them to his colleagues of the
finance committee, and they repudiated those bills, and
witotas returned them nest morning by poet to the publi-
c:au who sent thew ia.

Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Kinglike—Some of the
bills were accepted by the fi committee, but there was
a doubt abaft all the publicans' bills without exception
There were only tour bills sent t witness individually, bet
he saw 10 or 12 on the table of the committee-room.
Thinks the amount of all the bills—including these he
sent back—to be about 4001. Witness was taken by '
surprise when he saw the publican's bills, as he had no ides
of the vesting. and as it was foreign to Lord C. Wellealey's
purpose. Thinks the amount of the whole expenses claimed
and paid would be 1.400/. or 1,6001. The amount they kid
rectivtd tents Lord C. Wellesley was 8101., of which there
was still a smell balance in hand. Witness paid 50 guineas
each to Mr. Long and Mr. Phillips, agents. He has not
paid Mr. Venlig his fee. About 3301. was the amount
witness paid Mr. Void's by cheque. Witness paid Mender,
Mr. VOUltle clerk, 10 guineas for services rendered at the
election. A man named Hewitt, who also acted as clerk to
Mr. Voules during the election, made a claim for 261., but
was not paid. Witness thoucht he would have been well
paid by Ave guineas for what he did.
By the Commiree—The reason why the publicans' ae-
counts were repudiated was because they had not been
ordered or sanctioned by Lord C. Wellesley's committee.
Mr. Merewether said that, supposing they had the bills
which Mr. Vonles stoke to, this would dose the case for the
sitting member. They had no other witnesses to call.
The committee then adjourned to this morning, when Mr.
Merewether will sum up, and Mr. Serjeant Kinglake will
II reply upon the whole ease.
