I might as well have employed the town crier as have told
him. I never made any such communication to him. He
appeared to me to be a man who hesitated before he would
decide. He took the chair at one meeting when I believe
he was asked to do so in joke, for at that time he hadcom-
mitted himself to Sir H. Rawlinson. This led me to infer
that he was waiting to be engaged. No word passed from
me calculated to create the impressionwhich he has stated.
No man of any judgment in election matters would have
made such a statementeveu if he had contemplated such a
thing. I did not contemplate it, and did not make the state-
ment. Nodonbt a great many persons wereemployed by my-
self and my agents. Some of them were voters and others
were not. In the employment of these persons they were
not asked how they were going to vote. On the contrary,
many of them did not vote at all, and some even voted
for my opponent. I think Barton can, perhaps, give the
names of some of these persons, but I know that the fact
was remarked upon at the time. According to the best
of my judgment there were thirty or forty persons em-
ployed voters and non-voters. It was necessary to em-
ploy additional persons to prevent the defacing of placards,
and to carry boards instead of placarding the bills on the
walls. lam not here to justify the employment of per-
sons in any capacity who are voters.
Mr. Serjeant O'Brien—We don't understand you to
do so.

Doulton—My opinion is that one of the best safe
guards against bribery is—
Mr. Allen—Pray don't go into that.
Mr. Smith—lt might lead us into a long dionsidon.
Mr. Doulton—None of the persons employed by me in
any capacity were employed in a colonnade manner, nor
was the question with regard to any one of them raised as
to how they were to vote. Whin air H. Hahltheop mrT
dgued, seven or eight months afterwards, I received a re-
quisition asking me to come down again. I sent down to
ascertain the state of feeling in the borough, and finding
that the same intimidation was likely to be exercised that
had been exercised before, I declined coming down. That
is the general statement which I wished to make.
Mr. se.rjeant O'Brien—l askedif some of the voters were
' not employed in the "d ng butt will now withdraw
the expression, and say the unbesotaing manner of carry-
ing phicards about the streets.
Mr. Doulton—The question as to their being voters
never arose. I can only say that non were employed
for various services indi y, whether ?Men or
not, and placed in the positions which they were best cal.
minted to all. It may have been so, but the fact was
newer brought to my knowledge.
Mr. Serjesnt O'Brien—l suppose if it had, you would not
have countenanced such an employment!
Doniton—Certainly, I never canvassed any one who
steed in that position.
Serjesnt O'Brien—When the ballot took place, who
was acting for you and protecting your interests!
Mr. Doulton—l think Hooper took charge of that de-
'pertinent. The other candidates who submitted to the
ballot were Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Walters. Mr. Mon-
son declined doing so. '
Mr. Serjeant O'Brien—Holden said that money was
being paid for tickets, and that his attention was called to
the fact that one of the candidates saw yiiu about 100 yards
from the place where the ballot was going on. Were you
within 10U yards of the place!
Mr. Doulton--Certainly not. I did not go near the
ballot place at all.
Mr. Serjesnt O'Brien—Are you am that after the
tickets had been issued men were sent ou► to buy them up!
Mr. Doulton—lt was notorious that Mr. Welters and
his agents did traffic in tickets, and I never beard until
now that the slightest suspicion rested on any other can•
didate. No penman was employed on sni behalf to pur-
chase these tickets. . .

Mr. "Melton—Certainly not. •
Mr. Serjeant O'Brien—Do you resollect • having ab
interview with hint on the subject of the manner in which
the election was to be conducted?
Mr. Doulton-Oedsinly not It is s fiction from
beginning to end. I recollect asking him for his vote, but
1 never wade any application to him as en agent. I had
not the slightest intention of swaging him. 1 met nothing
from him but indecision as to bow he was to vote.
Mr. Serjeant O'Brien—l understand you deny in the
most explicit terms any such conversation having taken
place !
Mr. Doulton—l do.
Mr. Serjeant O'Brien—Do you know of any instance of
intimidation having been exercised during the canvass?
Mr. Moulton—There were TO persona who assured me
that such was the ales. it was quite notorious.

Mr. Loulton—l cannot say. I don't know of one penny
being paid beyond what passed through the bands of my
agents. Thu amount returned was 937/. 19s. Of that
sow 42N. 3s. was incurred before the noitiluatien, and

MR. ItRIGHT AND THE. WERT RIDING REFORM
DekoNsru.srioN.—The following letter from Mr. Bright,
announcing his acceptance of the invitation of the com-
mittee, was received in Leeds yesterday morning by Mr.
Garter:—" Ruclalale, Sept. 26,—My dear Sir,— If you are
iuttuding to have au evening meeting or a nquet, after
your great wetting on the Blour, I shall sty to arrange to
be with you. I cannot take any part in an out-door
meeting fur reasons which 1 need out further explair. I
hope the West Riding will take its full ilhaie iu the great
movement which is now extending itself throughout the
kingdom. Its voice has been autticient to decide great
questions in former times, and now it will nut be heard
without result. Wheu your arrangements are completed,
I shall be glad to know what they are. lam much obliged
to you and your frienda for their kind invitation. I should
base wiitten to you curlier, but absence from home pre-
oente4 your letter front reaching we iu due course. 11 ith
most earnest wishes for your success, I em, ice., Jolts
Butenr.—R. M. Carter, Eul.,
THE 11EFoliM LE.kutg.—The weekly meeting of
the council of this League was held last eveniug at the
othets, No. 8, Adelplii-terrisce, Mr. Edmond Itealee, the
president, in the chair. The chairman congratulated the
members upon the great success which attended !the re-
form demoustratiou at Manchester, and said that at the
text session of parliament they would Le in a position to
tell the }Souse of C ~,,, mons that millions in this country
supiouttil the politicil principles of the League. Mr.
Taylor proposed the following resolution, which was
seconded by Mr. Reece, chairwan of the City branch of
the Reform League, and unanimously carried, " That this
meeting begs to eNpiess to the Bight lion. the Lord
Mayor its earnest hope that Lis lordship may be induced
to allow himself to he put in nomination a second time
for the mayoralty." Mr. Bannister brought forward the
following motion :—" That the Reform League having
become a great tuitional fact, the time has now arrive,'
when it should, for its own dignity, take the initiative by
' (minim; a bill as a sin. qua )1,,a, to agitate fur, and to lire-
• sent to parliament next session." The motion was ad. I
jourued till next week.
11R. HEADLAM, M.P., ON REFORM. —The follow-
ing letter Las been published :—" Gilinonby Hall, Barnard
Castle, Sept. 26.—hir,—Having bail the honour of receiv.
ing an invitation to a Reform Conference and banquet at
31aucheater, I write to say that as I was myself a member
' of an administration that tried, and failed, to paas a
Reform Bill, I do not like to take part in any-
thing that may possibly 1166U111C the character of
agitation against tho present government. I wish it,
' however, to be understood that in declining tl.e invitation
not express any opinion against reform, or against
I those wile take every legitimate mode of jiressing
' their opinions upon the public on the contrary, recent
events make me feel more strongly than ever that this sub-
ject cannot with safety be neglected. The time has arrived
when men Juliet look to the means of obtaining a practical
settlement, and, with that end in view I venture to Lay
down what may seem to be a self-evident proposition—
' via., that encoding to the constitution of the country the
ultimate tribunal to settle all disputed questions of this
j kind is parhanient—that is, Queen, Lords, and Commons.!
Her Majesty's government have by their position
not only the right, but on them is imposed the
duty, of taking the initiative. Should they, with.
out unnecessarydelay, propose such a measure
•of reform as they themselves think best adapted to
the wants of the country, submit the mine fairly to perils- I
ment, and accept such modifications of their measure as
I parliament may think fit to make, then the question will
be settled, and it will be the duty of us all to acquiesce in
and support the verdict that may be delivered. if, how-
'ever, her Majesty's government will not submit a meastne
i to parliament, or will not accept the decision of parlia-
: ment upon it when submitted, then I for one will heartily
support any body of men who will emu* forward and le-
i lieve the country from what seems likely to prove a serious
embarrassment, and a cause of constantly increasing social
discord.-1 have the honour to be, sir, your obedient ser-
vant, T. E. IiF.ADLAR. Mr. J. D. Morton."
