John Terry recalled and farther examined by Mr. Mun-
dell—At St. Agate oommittes-room Southgate did not
ask me to do something to John Silveater, jaa. Asother
man did ask me. Southgate was a steady men. I fatehed
out John Silvestro. He is the son of the alderman of that
name. (Some photographs were shown to the wits' s& re-
presenting the state of the committee-room after the &Stook
bad been made upon it. Another photograph represented
the Mechartios' Hall.] Theylice plasm.
After the rioters had brokensomething into the plate we went
Southgate's, the Butcher's Arms, and got something to
to
drink. Mr. Southgate went with us to the Dog and Par-
tridge, one of the oommittee.rooms of Sir Robert Clifton
and Mr. Martin. I saw Mr. Pear there. I went with
him to Martin'. committee room ea the Low Pavement,
That is the seeembly -room We called at retargets oo the
way, and at Mr. Meredith's office. I believe it was a
lawyer's office. From there we went to the assembly-
rooms. I saw two or three gentlemen there. I did not
gs
see Mr. Arland there. Mr. Pear spoke to the gentleman. 81.
He told me as he went that he was going for money.

He did not say, "Terry waste 281., and the men
wont go away without the money." He told
me lisat
he was going to ask for 281. to pay ma. Mr. Adan did uis
not pay the money. I did not know him very well by
sight. I did not see him at the committee. Pear said
that one of the gentlemen was Mr. Anland.
Mr. Rodwell submitted that this was not evidence of IL
riot, and ought sot to be admitted at the present stage of Lit.
the cum
Mr. Mundell contended that this course of examination gg.
was perfectly correctel
The Chairman said the committee would permit the IL
queetiouti to be put. As the questioe of voting had arisen et-
His committee considered it desirable that Mr. Morley It
should be re stdif he chose. e

a.
Mr. Mandell—He is not harm St.
The Chairman—Some representation should be mede to al
him at once that he had better be represensed here.
Mr. Mundell—His solicitor is present.
Examination continued— Pear gave me the money which Or's:
he had received at the committee-room. Two or three of ss.
my men went with me. The man who gave the money to lg.
Pear did not do so readily, they bad some words about it. es.
Before we went to the sasembly-rooms some of the men 6l
said at the Butcher's Arms that if they were not paid they N
would pull the plate down. I paid some of the men 1,11
12s. 6d . some of them ss. Scl., and some of them 7e. 6d.; iTo
I got 50u for myself. I had not agreed with Mr. Pear Ho
beforehand as to the amount. em
Crom-examination by Mr. Bodwell—l had a little affair $
on the steps with Wyk/ and fa party on Paget
and Morley's side. There miaht be 10G of them. They gt
were protecting the txtuimittee-room. Wyley rushed at a.u.
and then we got fighting. I know John Bomafoni, who ag,
keeps the Sir John Warren. There was a party shoring
te
the way to the hustings. Some of them had brush sticks,
sit.
and used them. I know the Traveller's Rest, which
was kept by Biogy Bose. I saw him on the day ek.„
of polling going amongst the crowd, eletrieg
the way. I don't know to which ptlty he is&
belonged. I heard some of the people cry out, Throw le
the thief over the hastier!' The cry came from the Ex- la
cheer. There were • good many of Norley's friends there.
By the Ohairman—When they said " Throw the thief II
over the hustings," they meant Sir Robert. s.
Orosataaasination coatieued—l first gave my informatioa sl
to a man named Pringle. He said he woe ft
from Richards. and I maid get 2001. if I would go. At Bt.
last I went with Mr. Pringle, and Mr. Richards asked what
I knew about the election. I said I would oot telt any- 12
thing unless I was well paid. I afterwards made a state. '`"
meet to Mr. Richards. I told him the truth, and he said 14.
that was no good to bim. Pringle asked me if I could not to
tell him a lie or two. (Laughter.)
Mr. Mundell objected to this evidence as leading to im-
plicate Mr. Richards.
The objection was overruled.
Examination oontioned —Pringle said they wasted be make
the evidence good. Mr. Renards paid me 2/. • week for
getting evidence. I was paid 21. • week for about three
months.
By the Chairman—Mr. Richards engaged me after my in-
terview with Pringle.
Cross examination continued—l have received between Is
601. and 701. from Richards. During the time I have been
receiving the money I have been at home awhile and t
away awhile.
Mr. Mundell admitted that the witness had been sent
to Jersey. _

_......-sxszateed continued—There were three other nom
with me at Jersey—Commies, Owee, and Cook. Our
hotel expellees were paid, and we received Lt. a 4
week for pocket money. I received Si. on leaving r
Nottingham. lie had previously given me U. for
the evidence I pve him. No money was paid
to me when I signed the detained' bed made. Pringle
said I was to have 2001. He said he could not pay me for
my evideoos, but for getting evidence. Henry Field was
the person who paid me at Jersey. We esjoyed ourselves
at Jersey in boding 'rounded; and driving about in car-
riage*, and in any way we could. We laid out our mousy
io our own way, and we saved none. (Laughter.) I have
not received a promise of any more money. I never received
from anybody the sum of 251.
Re-examised by Mr. Mundell—l came away from Not-
tingham willingly,. but would not do so until I got some
mosey from Mr. Richards. The 51. was to buy clothes
with. We all asked for 51. It was a week before we came
away. I received the 21. a week before I went to
Jersey. My wife received it during the time I was at
Jersey. I believe I took live or six wit:Deane to Mr.
Richards to be examined. Mr. Richards told um he oould
sot give me the 2001. He said I reed not give any evi-
dence ashes I liked. I did not wear a blue ribbon or a
blue paper—nor did an, man.
