NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. COMMITTER.
(THIS DAY.)

The Committee appointed to try. the merits of
the petitions against the return for Nottingham met again
this morning at 11 o'clock, Mr. ADAIR in the chair.
Counsel for the petitioners, Mr. Mundell and Mr. Cave ;
for Sir It. Clifton, Mr. Rodwell, Q.C., Ms. Price, Q.C. ,
and Mr. Pope Hennes), ; for Mr. Morley, Mr. Fltajames
Stephen.
Thomas Rowley examined by Mr. Rodwell-1 recollect
the last election, and know a man named Towles, a cur-
rier. In consequence of what Towles said to roe I went to
a person named George Hudson, a voter. On the day I
saw Holroyd I also saw Hudson, and had a conversation
with him, and in consequence went to see a man of
the name of Beecroft, at the High Pavement com-
mittee-room. I called Mr. Beecroft on one side, and told
him Hudson wanted to know how much he would give him
for his vote, and Beecroft replied, " Fourteen days' pay-
-31. 10s." I afterwards introduced Mr. Hudson to Mr. Bee-
croft, who told him to go and poll, and he would
ace him right. Hudson did go and poll, and
afterwards I went with him to Mr. Beecroft's
who gave us a card, which we took to lawyer Heath's
office, but did not get paid. Upon this we ;threatened to
go to Messrs. Paget and Morley about the matter, and
Mr. Beecroft gave us a letter.to Mr. Heath, but Hudson
has not yet received the money. I was to have bad part
of the money. When Mr. Beecroft wrote the note he
remarked that it was a very critical time, and we had
better let the matter stand over. s
The Chairman remarked that this witness was evidently
s.
one of a numerous clam in Nottingham who acted as bro-
kers of votes at elections. St
In crass-examination, witness stated that Mr. Beecroft
ec
made no hesitation about pa Hudson when first seen, a.
and proposed the fourteen days' pay for the vote, nothing st.
whatever being said about canvassing. Bt.
George Hudson was next called, and, in answer to Mr. St.
Rodwell, said—l live in Bed-Lion-street, Nottingham, and St
at the last election voted for Paget and Morley. On the t•
morning
_of the election I saw Rowley, and we went toge-
ther to tar. Beeeroft. I said I was going to vote for Msy st.
and Paget, and Mr. Beecroft replied, " "Well, go and do
so, I will see you right." e alao said I sit
was to have a fortnight's pay. There were about 24.
• dozen people in the room at the time. I set
went and voted, leaving Rowley in the street whilst Z.
I did so. I joined him afterwards, and we again went to 81.
the committee-room, and saw Mr. Beecroft, who said, St.
" Yon will want a trtaight's pay." I said ' Yes," and St.
he replied, " I will see you all right." On the following Bt.
Saturday I went with Rowley, and saw Beecroft at his own r
reeidenee. I told him M. Palmer told me he had
gt
paid his men, and that Mr. Beecroft said he had io
forgotten to put down my name so that I to
might get my money. He then gave me :card to take to 100
Mr. Heath. I went to Mr. Heath's office, but only saw the mo
clerk, upon which I returned to Mr. Beecroft, and he then rt.
gave me a letter to Mr. Heath. I took that letter and 9
delivered it to Heath's clerk, who took it upstairs, RAUL St.
brought me down one for Mr. Beecroft. I again went to ti
Mr. Beecroft with the letter, and he said it was a very ex- St.
cited time and the matter must stand over. I have not yet St.
at.
been paid.

MARK-LANE.—gras DAY.) to
The market was scantily supplied with English wheat, 94
in very middling condition. The few fine samples on offer st.
changed hands at quite late rates ; but in inferior produce St.
the transactions were on a limited scale. Compared with St.
Monday, however, no chakte took place in the quotations. Si.
There was a moderate quantity. of foreign wheat ou the ~4t.
stands. Most descriptions were in fair request, on former ti
terms.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded a fair amount of is
attention at about stationary currencies. St.
The show of herby was tolerably good. All kinds moved St
off slowly at the recent decline in the quotations. to
Sc
The demand for malt was inactive; nevertheless, late
rates were well supported.
Very little business was piecing in oats, the supply of
which was large, on former terms.
The inquiry for beans was limited, at Monday's fall in
prices.
In peas, sales progressed slowly, at about late cur-
rencies.
All kinds of flour supported last week's quotations ; but
the demand was by no means active.
Linseed and rapeseed were firm in price ; but agricul-
tural seeds met a slow sale. Cakes were unaltered in
value.
