WAKEFIELD ELECTION COMMISSION.

EIGHTEENTH DAY.--ANOTHER ADJOURNMENT.
..The Commissioners, Mr. Serjeant Pigott, Mr. W. H.
Willes, and Mr. Wyndham Slade, assembled on
.- Monday-
morninm at ten o'clock, at Wakefield. Amon the wit-
r) !,
neves examined was Mr. Thos. Serle, the banister. Ile
stated that his peculiar function during the election was
to write newspaper articles in behalf of Mr. Charles-
worth, the Conservative candidate; to get up pla-
cards and to harangue meetings when necessary.
According to his own statement, he was particu-
larly anxious that the contest should be conducted
on pure principles ; but he was obliged to admit
that he suspected his party had not followed his wise -
counsel. He himself had had nothing whatever to do
with bribing voters, and he -stated that his absence
during the earlier sittings of the Commission arose
from two simple causes : first, from the state of his
, health ; and secondly, because he was desirous of cutting
,' the entire affair, in consequence of the rejection of the
1 advice he gave to his political friends on the subject of
Ipurity-of election. - -- --
Mr. Leeman, solicitor, who appeared before the Com-
missioners on behalf of the Liberals, was about to make
a statement to show that of the 406 persons who voted
for Mr, Leatham' only 51 had been tampered with ; but
he was stopped by the Chief Co7cmissioner, who refused
to listen to an ca; parte speech. He said it was one of
his original bargains that they should conduct the whole
of the case themselves. They bad not permitted speech-
MOking on either side so far, and they could not depart
from the principle.
Mr. S. T. Harrison, election auditor, obtained per-
mission to explain that Mr. J. B. Charlesworth was
under a -mistake when he stated that tre (Mr. Harrison)
was at the dinner which Mr. J. C. D. `Charlesworth gave
to some-of his Conservative friends, at his own house,
to which reference had frequently been made.
The. Chief Commissioner—l now state that the Com-
mission must adjourn to-day. There are very few"wit-
i riesses,remaining to be examined, and I hope it will not
be necessary to return to Walefield. But it is- quite
-necessary th at we should adjourn, inasmuch as one of
the Commissioners has duties to discharge elsewhere;
1 those duties having come upon him suddenly and unex-
i)eotedly since we adjourned on -Saturday evening last.
He would-not have stayed today, but as we adjourned
-until nonday morning he could-not absent himself until
Monday, and he is obliged tnbe at Newcastle to-morrow.
Therefore the Conunission is adjourned to London,
.to
mext Monday. .
