THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION COMMITTEE. it.
(THIS DAY.) St.
I,*
•

ei
The committee appointed to try the merits of
t.ltil&tion against the retire. of Sir R. Clifton and Mr. Bt-
, for Nottingham, resumed its sitting for the 18th
time morning ; Mr. B. Adair in the chair.
The evidence in chief of Sir Robert Clifton was con- g
tinned. The boa. member said—At no time during the at.
election did I give any insiructicos or authority to Mr. St.
Thompeon, the optician, to arrange a coalition between 84.
myself and Mr. Martin. The assembly rooms t•
consisted of a number of rooms let out for gt
public purpose. On the polling day, about 2 o'clock g;
in the- afternoon, I went to Mr. Martin's can- 8L
mittee room to asoertain about the poll returns, as we 8L
could not get any, but I found that they were pretty much 11t
in the same preamment. Mr. Martin never came to the
South parade, committee room till after the election. I 84.
remember on one occasion seeing three men in the South- 10
parade committee room, who stated that they bad come io
over from France to vote for me. I shook hands 100
with them, and told them I was very much 100
obliged to them. On the 28th of June when' I left the 11
south committee-room I went to the Maypole, ordered my g
mrriap. and went to the ceicket-granuL I never went to at
the Midland station, or said that I would go there, or was 85
going there. From the Maypole to the cricket-ground is 81.
about a mile and a quarter, and it is on the way to Clifton 81.

The learned counsel p.
baronet's chattels were not protected by a bill of sale from 20
execution 81.
Mr. &dwell objected to the question, but on Mr. Mun- 10
dell's pledging himself to make it relevant to the lams, it
all eel
to be ut.
Examination resupmed—There Is not a bill of sale pro- ge,
totting the rest of my chattel', and if I were not a mem-
ber of the house at the present moment, there is not a
single debt in the world for which I could be
arrested. During the election I was sued for a debt Sh.
of 4001., which I paid with money that I borrowed. gel
I have no considerable sum of money. Mr. Thompson lent et
ne 1001. in order to pay Mr. Acland's fee, or rather he pre- It
tended to lend it to me, but borrowed it from Mr. Spencer, 2C
and took the credit of lending it to me himself. Thomp- 1101
eon did not ask me for the 1001. again because
I had offered to make a bet of 1001. I con- St.
eider that I have great cause to complain of Si
Mr. parf: bringing down a candidate to oppose 10
his col e. I did not enter into arrangements •:;i:
myself in 1 or 1864 to bring forward a oonservatave can-
Sc
didate to oppose Mr. Psget, nor did I instruct Mr. 10
Acland or Dlr. Mott, though there might have 10
been some conversation about bringing forward 10
another candidate when it was found that Mr. Paget 10
did not do his duty to his constituents. I attended a 1,2;
meeting at Beaton, and made a speech ; but I cannot re- isip
me- dier whether I said that the Nottingham constabulary 10
hal' more trouble in looking after Paget and Morley's 10
voters than all the rabbits that Jimmy Sweet had ever swal- St
lowed, or, that !thought they would requirel,oooconstablee
to protect them at Arnold. I never noticed or recognised !
John T vry in the lobby, or said when he was being called, g
" Come along, we must have this witness." I know Mr. se
Hedington ; he has been once or twice at Clifton, and Si
may have had some sherry and a biscuit, but he I
was not staying there as a guest. He called on me once
officially, and once casually, and requested me to pnt off 1°
my meeting for the 26th, because he thought my showing 3
myself at the window of the South Parade committee-room el
at the time that Messrs. Paget and Morley were addressing Si
• meeting in the market-place might cause a row. He se- •
cordingly put off his meeting till after 10 o'clock. _1
I called at the barracks and left a card for Captain
Ricardo, as other country gentlemen did, but nothing more. ij
At the time I wrote the letter to Sir George Grey, I did
not know that Mr. Griffard's agent connected with the
other side had gone to London to make a representation to
the Home-office. I was one of the candidates who objected
to the hustings not being erected outside the Ex-
change-rooms. The protests which were advertised from
day to day about the Byron Ward polling being at Hickly Mill,
and so on, were made because it was notorious that means
were being used on the other side to pack the polling
but I sin not aware that they were advertised from
trio day. I will swear that I did not make
use of the words, "If you will not hear me I will
clear the platform," and to the best of my belief
no words at all like that. The sheriff was
near me when Hooton pulled out the knife. I asked
somebody immediately who it was, but took no steps to
bring the man before the magistrates- One man has very
little power over 40,000 people, and certainly I had so
power over Paget and Morley's mob. If I had been
well treated I think I should have had great power
over them, hot the vindictive manner in which
I was treated excited them, and not only what you
term the mob but the respectable dames of workmen. I
brought an action against the Patriot. There was no ple.i
of justification on the record, and the judge expressed him-
self very strongly about the manner in which they had
brought the cause into the court. I stated at that trial
that the steps of the Exchange-hall were 300 or 400
from the St. Anne's Ward committee-room.
yards
eyoung man Fry was ordered to stand up at
the trial, but I could not recognise him. lam really
surprised that the crowd did not act worse towards the
supporters of Moors. Paget and Morley, on account of
the vindictive feeling which the clique manifested towards
me. I only saw one attack on the committee-room. The
mob were not all going one way, and when I spoke of the
kind of sortie that was made yesterday I meant the move-
ment of the people coming out of the committee-room.
Now as an act of sober judgment, do you consider that
the gutting of the committee-room served Paget and Morley
right?—That is a matter of opinion.
I wish for yours.—Well I think that there was great
justification for the people. It is a matter between the
people and Paget and Morley, and not between Paget and
Morley and me.
I will not have that. I will have nothing short of an
answer, aye or DO. Did the gutting of the oommittee-room
of Mews. Paget and Morley serve them right?
Sir R. Clifton—Yes.
Do you consider that the gutting of Jemmy Sweet's
house served him right?—No ; because I think that he
was a sort of political lunatic, whowent about making vio-
lent speeches : he was not a principal I cannot form
any opinion as to whether it would have served him
right if he had been, because the circumstances might have
been different. It is my decided opinion that had there
been no sortie of armed men from the committee-room it
would not have been gutted. The people were quiet before
the sortie. I don't know that the door was broken before
it took place, or that there were three attacks on it before.
I don't think that I spoke to Acland before I went to the
Byron Ward.
The cross-examination of the hon. baronet was proceed-
ing when our report left.

PLYMOUTH, Aran 3. —The Plymouth Chamber
of Commerce entertained the Earl of Morley at a dinner
this evening, at the Royal Hotel, on his being appointed
chairman of the chamber. A large party was present.
Amon` the guests were the Solicitor-General and Mr. W.
Morrison, the members for Plymouth, and Sir Massey
Lopes, hLP.
The new scheme of compulsory retirement in the
Royal navy was published in a supplement to the Lowden
(Matte lest night. The plan was fully disclosed in the resat
debate on the navy estimates ; but its effect could not be fully
known until this official announcement. It appears that
the active flag list is to be reduced to 85, viz.:—Admirals
and admirals of the fleet, It ; vice-admirals, 22; rear.
admirals, 42. Admirals are to be retired on reaching the
age of 70, viceodmirals 68, rear-admirals 65, and captains
61 The Gazenc also give* a list of the flag officers placed
at we en the retired list by this arrangement, omitting
of 3 admirals, 6 vise-sdmirals, and 4 rear-admirals ; and
the promotion' consequent thereupon.

In the stock and share markets, to-day, the
principal feature is a continued demand for the
shares of the financial and dismount oonipanies
which have experienced a fresh rise, the
Most important movement being in London
Financial and Overend, Gurney, and Co. Bank
shares are also inquired for. The transactions in the
funds are not numerous, owing partly to prepara-
tions for the settlement to-morrow, but quotations
are steady, although the accounts from Ger-
many are considered leas favourable than yes-
terday. The impression seems to be general in
the City that notwithstanding the movements of
troops and other threaten* measures, war is not
likely to take place between Prussia and Austria.
Most of the British railways are unchanged, while
foreign stocks have degined in some cases. Am*,
risen 'scarifies see spin better.
There is no Dm feature in the money mallet,
the demand being still moderate, and the supply
lane. no rate for the best paper is 5 7-8 to 6
per cent Is the Stock Exchange the charge for
short loess on government sensitise is rather
lower, it 5 per cent.
Cowls are now quoted 86} to t , both for money
and toanorrow's settlement, and 86 7-8 to 87 for the
new account (May 9).
Turkish Bonds of 1866, Italian of 1061, and Bra- I
Lilian scrip are rather flat, and have declined t

The Imperial Ottoman Bank have received ad
.
vices from their Bucharest agents that the usual
monthly payment on account of the dividend and
sinking fund of the Danubian Principalities Loan
has been punctually made by the government.
A story has been set afloat, for the circulation of
which the Paris Memorial Diplomatique is partly
responsible, of the issue of a decree by the Emperor
Maximilian ordering " the suspension of the pay-
ment of the dividends on the foreign debt of
Mexico until the bonds therefor shall have been
verified." The story was heightened in colour by
the announcement that " It was Monsieur Lan,glais
(just deceased) who caused the adoption of that
step, after he had ascertained that in the foreign
debt there were many bonds for which the Mexican
Treasury had never received value." Our Paris
contemporary, in its number of the let inst.,
gives a somewhat important qualification to its
statements by remarking that it is the payment of
the coupons on, and the authenticity of, the float-
ing debt (as distinguished from the foreign debt)
which has been called in question. It is said, how-
ever, that, incredible as it may seem, the so-called
official decree published in Mexico is utterly desti-
tute of official warranty, and that its publication
was prompted by spite. The existing government
in Mexico has so many enemies at home and abroad
that it behoves the bondholders here steadfastly to
withhold credence from all statements which do
not obviously bear the stamp of authenticity.
