these roughs. (Laughter.) I took them to Nutley-
and Job Apted I way to give them a pint of beer h, I
or a pot—l don't know which. I should think we h 18
gallons, or more likely 36, or more than that. My business
was to look attar the " roughs," and see that they did
not Wilkinson'set "tight." There were some "roughs "on
W Mr. side. I don't know who was their officer.
(Laughter.) I raw plenty of lush going on at the houses
all over the town at Mr. Wilkinson's election. Both sides
were pretty near alike. I saw Frederick Joyes this morn-
ing, and told him my turn was on to-day. I have not had
more than nine or ten words with him. I said, " I under-
stand Johnson has said as how you offered me Si." Joys
said. " No, I did not." I said, " I can tell you what you
did say, and that is, I might ea well have 51." He said he
believed that was it.
By Mr. Serjesnt O'Brien—l did not understand that
Joyes had any meaning when he said, " I might as well
have N. as not." (Laughter.)
By Mr. Allen—lf he had put 51. into my hand Ishould
have taken it.
Henry Parsons, examined by Mr. Serjeant O'Brien—l
voted at the het election for Mr. Gower. I was put on
his committee by Apted and Buokland. They did no such
thing as tell me I should be paid for it. (Laughter). I
received 30s. from Penfold about three months after the
election for work dons. I bad made two notice boards
for them. I never was paid anything for loos of time. 1
voted for Mr. Wilkinson in 1863. I was not on his com-
mittee, and did not receive any payment.
John Phillips, examined by Mr. Allen—l am a coach-
man. At the election in 1865 I voted for Mr. Gower. I
was put on the committee by Rose. He said as I was
going to vote for Mr. Cower I bad better go on the com-
mittee. I heard Mr. Gower say that all who worked for
him should be satisfied. I never heard anything said
about 21. After the election I received 30s. from Rose,
and was very well saAsfied.
William Poole, examined by Mr. Serjeant O'Brien—l
am a carpenter. I voted for Mr. Gower at the last elec-
tion. I was put on the oonamittee in the first week, and
worked all through the election. Peter Pelham said I
should have from N. to 5/. for the election, and he would
speak to Mutant about it. On the Saturday after the
polling day I was paid 54. by Leer for night work. I re-
ceived U. from Buckland some time after the election. I
expected to get the 51. He said be thought there would
be more soon. I don't know exactly about cheating, but I
expected to get something more.
By Mr. Allen—l don't expect to get anything more now.
Mr. Serjesnt O'Brien—l don't think you'll be disap-
pointed in that. (A laugh.)
By Mr. Allen—l was °limed money by two persons on
the part of Mr. Monson. One of them was a stranger.
I told him I bad promised Mr. Gower, and should keep
my promise. He laid 5 sovereign/ down. I refused them.
He asked me if that was not enough. I said I did not want
any. He said if I changed my mind I had better go down
to the Grapes, and I could have the money. I said if I
went there I could have Si. at any time. A person named
Chiswick afterwards offered me V. 1 saw the stranger in
the ball on the nomination day. I don't know who he
was. I believe he was a real Monsonite, and was not sent
by the Gower party to see if I was " shaky." (laughter.)
Wm. Port examined by Mr. Smith—l voted at the
bat election for Mr. Goner. I promised soon after Epsom
races. No one canvassed me first. Mr. Gower met me,
ar dmidlierupposed it would be *Bright, and I said I should
vote the sante as before. I saw Durrant afterwards, and
he said if I was on the committee there would be a trifle
for me. I understood it was to be 41., but I did not get
the value of 21. I had had some beer of Durrant, and he
said he would settle the account. I was at the Barley Mow
sometimes, and had beer, but never paid anything.
Adjourned until to-morrow.

William Mitchell came to me for money. He said
tielltad been offered some by the other side. He received
money; and lib got him a house, as he said he was to be
turned out by the other side if he voted for us. Richard
Norrish came on the flaturday, and had • bag
given to him. John Jerman Phillips received a bag
from me, and he said it contained 20/. Tozer
voted against us, and his niother-in-law returned
the money. George Please had something, I believe,
from me or " Mum." Henry Richards had something.
Robert Smaridge told me he would net vote unless he had
601. I told him to call at my house. He had something
in • bag. John Henry Tope also came to my hones and
received • bag. I got a sum of 1,000/. on the Tuesday from
Mr. Edmonds and gave it to " Mum," and afterwards Mr.
Edmonds gave me • cheque for 5001., and I likewise gave
that money to " Mum." I gave no instructions to Screech
or Harris. The total amount I gave to " Mum" was 3,7001.
James Wherry may have come and said there was money
on the other aide, and I may have stated that if he was
disposed to support the conservative cause there would
be the same consideration on our side. I have
seen a mysterious stranger at every contested
election. The stranger of 1865 might have come on the
3rd of July, and gone away again without my knowing
anything about it. I have no recollection of having seen
him before the 7th. Ido not think he went away more
than once during the election. He may have left on the
Saturday, and come back on the Sunday. " Mr. Mum" was
entered in my books as " light gent. U " light gent "
appears in the book on the 3rd July, it may have referred
to some other person. Entries are frequently made in
that way, gentlemen being described se " light gent " and
" dark gent." I saw Mr. Charles F. Michelmore's poll-
book before the election. He showed it to me. There
was the word "situation" written opposite Robert Harris's
name. I saw some notes in regard Leman welled thought were
going to vote for us, but they were carried out in the book as
going to vote for the other side. Griffis was put down as
going to vote one and one, which he afterwards did. I
believe Mr. Michelmore took the book away with him. I
don't remember authorising Screech to give Edmonds 1601.
If he asked whet he WM to offer, I may have said, " Offer
him what you like." I did not tell Screech to keep 501.
he had got back from Diggins as his retaining fee. I told
him when he said he had got back the money to keep it till
the accounts were settled. I know nothing of Foote and
Stoyle being kept in my house. In reference to
the election of 1863, I believe Mr. Dent came
down about ten days before the election. He had previously
been down in 1862, when Mr. Ponder was returned. From
the election of 1862 to that of 1863, there were expects-
tions of a vacancy. I was not employed by the conserva-
tive party ; I assisted them out of zeal to the cause. The
elections do not pay me so well as the private trade, and I
wish to say that I would rather be without the elections,
and see the borough disfranchised, which would be for the
good of the town. There was a mysterious stranger down
here in 1863. It is my opinion that if Mr. Dent had
fought Fender in 1863, instead of Seymour, we could have
done it for 2,0001. instead of 3,0001. The extra 1,0001. was
caused by the Duke of Somerset's influence being more
difficult to counteract than that of Mr. render. I was
turned out of my occupation under the Duke in 1857, the
reason being that I havoted or the conservatives I first
had to do with th expenditure( of money in 1863,a fortnight
before the election. I advanced 101. on my own account to
Louis Dufort. There was no vacancy then and he said if
there came a contest and there was any " sugar" about—
that was the term—then he would repay me. When the
election came I asked to settle with Di ufort and I re-
couped myself. I did not convey the money to the
stranger in 1863. He was a dark man, tall, and about
40 or 50 years old. He was not very dark. We called
him " Mr. Mum"—they are all " Mums" with us.
(Laughter.) I did not see two " Mums" then. I " dealt"
with Jubal Bartlett at that election. His wife came down
tory that some one from the other side was at her husband;
some one was sent to him and he voted right. James
Clark was paid something, I don't know what. Francis
Cooinbes did not vote. He said he wanted to transfer a
debt of 200!., and I promised to get a loan for him at a
different rate of interest, but I could not get it and he did
not vote. The John Diggings I spoke of on Saturday
was John Diggins of Bridgetown, and not of Totnes.
John Godfrey was paid. George Evans obtained some con-
sideration for himself and Lombardini. I suppose Mum
paid it. I believe it was paid in my presence. I
don't know how mach was paid. I saw some money
counted out on the smoking-room tables in 1863. I
did not pay money at that election ; I used to be con-
sulted sometimes as to the identity of voters. James
Raymond and George Sercombe were arranged with in
1863. I think William Skinner was paid in my house.
I saw William Farley in the house ; I don't know what
was done with him, but dare say he had something. Mr.
Mum called upon him. In 1862, Mr. Dent came down to
stand, but did not do so. There was a Mr. Mum down.
I believe there was money brought down to be used for
Mr. Dent ; but it was not wanted. There was plenty of
" grubbing " then ; the aristocracy grubbed in one room ;
the mediocrity in another; and the runners in another.
The reason the election was not fought was
that there was only a majority of three promises,
and Mr. Mitchell, the agent, did not think
it worth while to go to the poll with that
number. There was no " slippery company" then ;
there were voters who have formed the " slippery com-
pany" since. The drink called " all nations" seems to be
a mixture of the bottoms of various casks, which are
emptied into one cask to fine. The mixture is drunk by
the men in my yard, and may have been used at the elec-
tion. It is pretty strong. The liberals had promised
money in 1862 ; I don't know whether they paid. it. In
1859 we had Mr. Dunn and Mr. Cameron at my house.
Mr. Cameron is a solicitor in London. There was a person
named Phipps here, and also a " Mr. Mum." That was
the election when we had the spurious " Mum," who
threatened to sue Mr. Dunn. I took no part in negotiating
with the electors then. I don't think there was any money
spent in 1857. It was said of Mr. Dent in 1859—" We
don't bring you a needy man ; here's a gentleman with mil-
lions at his back." At all the elections there was treating.
There never was a petition threatened on the ground of
treating.
The inquiry was proceeding when our report was des-
patched.

GREAT YARIKOUTR.—The commissioners resumed
their sitting yesterday in the Town-ball, Great Yar-
mouth. The witnesses examined were James Ling, re-
lic% ;lig officer in the Gorleston district; Mr. R. Ben-
tham, general manager of the Imperial Bank ; and Mr.
Cornelius Satterthvreite, the "Mr. Jones" of the liberals
at the last election. This last-named gentleman, who is
a chemist, druggist, and innkeeper, of Preston, in Lanca-
shire, narrated his experiences In bribery on this particu-
lar occasion, and described the " ticket system," which,
as he had found it efficacious "in other towns, and in
connection with municipal contests" he introduced at
Yarmouth when he was summoned to assist in the " ope-
rations" there. This witness described that there were
five " captains" engaged with him in the bribery. One of
these told him that he bad always before been on the
conservative side, "but," in 1860, when there was a pe-
tition, "they sent him out of the road to Paris, I think,
and then afterwards would not pay his expenses." When
the voters came into the appointed place for money,
" many," said the witness, " were individuals in a re-
spectable position of life, who ought to have been
above taking money, and I gave them each a
little sermon on the sin of bribery." The ticket
system was, however, new, and some contention
arose as to the desirability of ready money. " I wished
that the voters should have tickets, and then be paid after
the election, but I was obliged to give way, and pay
them beforehand. We began operations." The voters
occupying a good position in the town who received
money " were more difficult to deal with than some of
the others." The witness was reading a long list of the
voters whom he had paid when our parcel was de-
spatched.
The commissioners also sat yesterday at Lancaster.

PROPOSED TESTIMONIAL TO ML. BEALL%
Yesterday evening, a preliminary public meeting was held
at Lower St. Martin 'is-hall, " for the purpose " (as the
notice convening it stated) " of making the necessary
arrangements for raising a testimonial to E. Bailee, Esq.,
N.A., on the occasion of his dismissal from an office he has
adorned through the crime of pleading too manfully and
too untiringly the cause of the unenfranchised millions of
his countrymen." Colonel Dickson, who was called to the
chair, said there was no necessity for him to speak of the
character of Mr. Beaks, or of the services he had rendered
to the people. The Lord Chief Justice, in dismissing him
from his office of revising barrister, passed the highest
compliment upon him for the manner in which he had dis-
charged his judicial functions; indeed, the tories had
always passed votes of thanks to him on the close of every
registration. He had been dismissed because he was a
strong political partisan ; but it moat be remembered that
Brougham, Lyndhurst, Campbell, and other distinguished
men, as well as Lord Chief Justice Cockburn himself,
had, through political partisanship, raised themselves to
the most exalted positions. Mr. Cunnington moved the
first resolution : " That this meeting desires to express
its highest appreciation of the noble and disinterested con-
duct of Mr. Edmond Beale', in so courageously advocating
the political rights of the great body of his fellow-country-
men, and has learned with indignation and regret that he
has been removed from an office in which his admitted
impartiality has rendered him eminently wiefuL" Mr.
G. M. Murphy, in seconding the resolution, said it would
not pledge those who voted for it to manhood suffrage or
the ballot ; on the contrary, it was desired that reformers
of all shades of opinion should be able to take a part
in this movement. The resolution was adopted Mr.
next
Merriman moved the resolution, which the
meeting to adopt measures for raising a testimo • which
should be at least equal in amount to the loss which Mr.
Belles has sustained by his deprivation from office. Mr.
West seconded the resolution, 'twilit was adopted. Mr, J. R.
Taylor, Mr. J. B. Langley, Mr. Whitlock, and Mr. Maas-
den also spoke, and • committee was appointed, with
Colonel Dickson for chairman, to give effect to the reso-
lutions adopted.

day amounted in all to 206.
In Bethnal-green the epidemic is steadily declining. The
last report to the board of guardians states that for a week
no new cases of cholera had been admitted to the work-
house. Dr. Ferris, the medical officer of health, reporai
that since the outbreak 4,000 houses have undergone
medical inspection with most beneficial results, and he
also state* that while the death rate in some of the neigh-
bouring districts has been 50, and in one instance 80 in the
1,000, in Bethnal-green it has only been 30 in the 1,000.
Nevertheless, some 10,750 cases of diarrhma, and 300 of
cholera have come under the care of the medical staff ap-
pointed by the vestry, and as many as 560 cases and up-
wards have been treated at the Nichol-street and Win-
chester-street dispensaries respectively in a single day.
In Sboreditch a slightincrease in the number of cholera
cases has been observed.
In Mile-end the severity of the attack has been so miti-
gated that some of the medical staff have been dispensed

4.ESEX SESSION&

(Before Mr. Serjeant Dowling.)
Alice Smith, 33, barmaid, was indicted for stealing 45.,
the moneys of William John Ward, her master.
Mr. M. Williams (instructed by Hr. T. Beard) prose-
cuted ; Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Pater (instructed by Mr.
Willis) defended the prisoner.
The promeutor in this case was Mr. William John Ward,
of Betts' Coffee-house, Threadneedle-street, sad the pro-
prietor of the Green-gate public-house, in the City-road,
and the prisoner was in his service as barmaid.
The facts of the case appeared to be that *bout two
months ago the prisoner was engaged by the prosecutor
as barmaid? at a salary of 181. a year, but she had not beet
in his service long before his attention was drawn by Mr.
Anderson, his manager, to the great deoreme in the tak-
ings at the Green-gate since the prisoner had
been there. Other suspicions were aroused, and
the prosecutor having communicated with the polio.,
the ease was placed in the hands of Miller, 147, G division,
through whose instrumentality marked money belonging
to her mute^ was traced to her poseesaion. Afterwards
her boxes were searched, when two Bank of England re-
ceipts were found in her possession, one for 1501. and
another for 1001., a deposit book for money in the savings
bank, and jewellery.to the value of about 150/. Since the
prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ Om had
deposited the snm of 1001. in the Bank of Wand and
there was DO doubt that she had been for some tinie en-
gaged in a system of robbery, and especially so am so large
an amount of the marked money was found in her pos-
session.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
William Miller, police-constable, was then called by Mr.
IL Williams, and he said the prisoner had been in the ser-
vice of seven other licensed victuallers, and all of whom
she had robbed to the extent of 151. to 201. a week.
Mr. Serjeant Dowling said the prisoner bad pursued a
long course of crime, but justice had at last overtaken her,
and the sentence of the court upon her was, that she be
committed to penal servitude for fire years.
Police-constable Miller was then directed to stand for-
ward, and
Mr. Serjeant Dowling said that the magistrates on the
bench were of opinion that his conduct had been most
praiseworthy, and they should direct Mr. Inspector Fyffe,
of tbe O division, who was then on duty, to convey to the
Commissioners of Police the high approbation of the court
of constable Miller's conduct, with a view that he should be
promoted to a superior station. The Deputy-Assistant
Judge said the magistrates had further taken his case into
consideration, and they should order him to receive a re-
ward of 21., which he was not to consider for its intrinsic
worth, but ss a mark of approbation of the court of his
conduct.

THE FATAL BATHING ACCIDENT AT BRIGHTON.
Yesterday morning the last inlaying body, that of John
Dann, was recovered at Roedean, about a otia and • half
to the east of Kemp-town, and midway between Brighton
and Rottingdean village. The place had already bad a
melancholy interest attaching to it from the fact that it
was near there Mr. William Willett was killed • few
months ago by his horse jumping with him over the cliff,
which at that part is quite perpendicular, and about 80
feet high. Sunday night was somewhat rough, and a
fisherman named Pumphrey went at dawn yesterday morn-
ing along the cliff, thinking he should find thebody thrown
up by the waves. When he discovered the corpse it
was close to the shore, and after he had made
his way down he got it on to the beach without
difficulty. By that time the local constable was
at hand, and both brought the body into Brighton, where
it was deposited at the establishment of a member of the
Society of Friends, prior to removal to Reigate for burial.
Our readers will remember that Mr. Dann lost two sous by
this sad fatality. The body of the eldest was, however,
recovered the same morning, and was interred at Nutfield,
where Mr. Dann resides, yesterday forenoon. It is probable
that no further inquiry by the coroner will be deemed
. The sympathy expressed in BriOton for the
bereaved has been widespread and heartfelt and
at more than one place of worship on Sunday the accident
was refereed to in terms which evoked emotion from both
preacher and congregation.
