WAKEFIELD ELECTION COMMISSION,

V b notion.

COMMERCIAL ACADEMY,

The commissioners appointed to inquire into the
alleged malpractices at this election reassembled on
Wednesday, the twelfth day of the inquiry. Several
witnesses were examined, from whom the following
evidence was obtained :
Mr. Joseph Shaw, spirit merchant, said—He was
the chairman of St. John's and No:thgate Wards, in
the interest of the Conservatives. All the money that
.passed through his hands was £4O, which he obtained
from Mr. Fernandes. He canvassed upwards of three
hundred voters, and got upwards of one hundred signa-
tures to the requisition. With the exception of one
case, he never either offered money or money's worth
to any voter. He saw James Winter twice, and on
one occasion took John Thomas Stephenson to him, and
gave him £3 to spend in Winter's house.. Stephen-
son placed £3 on the table, but Winter refused to
take it. As ho was going out., Winter's daughter (Mrs.
Arundale) came to him and told him that he 0444 have
"come out" earlier; he knew vt'hat that meant. Oave
Richard Wilcox (who had signed the requisition to Mr.
Charlesworth) £3O on the morning of the nomination, in
order to secure his vote ; but Wilcox, after all, did not
vote at all. The difference between this £3O and the
£4O he obtained he spent in incidental expenses.
Edward Link, a lecturer on temperance, got £7 or' £8 tb
pick up information, and to speak at meetings in favour
of Charlesworth. He (witness) spent several pounds
among the non-electors and watchers. He never pro-
posed to Sharpie), to go away, in order that the inquiry
might be stifled. He heard that "The Man in the
Moon" was down, but he could not say who was his in-
formant. Did not know who brought the man down,
or who sent for him. It was generally understood that
Brear was engaged in bribery, and from report that Mr.
Crowther was similarly engaged.
Mr. Archibald Crowther, grocer and spirit merchant—
He only got £lOO from Brear. Brear came into the
shop in a great hurry, and said, " Here is £2OO, I think ;
do the best you can with it." He paid Simeon Speak
£4O, and £4O to John Wainwright, butcher, to vote for
Charlesworth. He spent the balance £2O, in incidental
expenses, such as treating voters and non-electors. He
paid money to no other person, and he received the £lOO
as he stated. He offered money to Willcox, £3O te
£4O ; Mrs. Burnill, £5O or £6O ; Samuel Fieldhouse,
Kirkgate, £4O, and afterwards £5O to Mrs. Fieldhottse;
Samuel Pitchfork, £6O; Alfred Lancaster, Kirkgate,
£5O or £6O; but they all refused the offers made. On
the night before the election, witness offered Samuel
Croft £6O or £7O ; but it was all moonshine, as he knew
Croft 'would not vote for Charlesworth. He only received
£lOO from Brear, who was mistaken as to the precise
sum,
Mr. Henry Brown, solicitor to Mr, J, 0, D. Charlee..•
worth, said he was the returning officer in 1857. Could
not tell how the £3OO or £4OO, in addition Co-the money
paid through the auditor, was spent in that year. No
doubt a good deal was spent in rejoicings, both before
and after the election, and in agents' expenses also.
Witness canvassed a few voters at the last elation. Mr.
Westmorland might tell him that bribery was going on,
but he did not think it his duty to mention it to Mr.
Charlesworth. He made no offers to voters, but he
subscribed to the petition expenses. He advised Mr.
Charlesworth to pay for the scat, believing at the time
that there had' been no bribery, but he Should not
have so advised him had he known what he now knew.
He should judge that 100 voters had been bribed at the
late election.

The College is designed to afford facilities in Liverpool for
obtaining the degrees granted by the University. of London,

which every well-educated man is expected to possess, and
which forms the best preparation for strictly professional
studies.

CLASSES : Greek, Latin, Mathematics, Natural Philosophy,
Logic, English Language and Literature, French, German,
Hebrew, Ancient and Modem history, Chemistry, Physiology,
and Botany.

Serjeant Pigott.—But there has been sufficient money
to bribe half the constituency.
Witness.—lt can't have been all spent in bribery.
Mr. Pigott.—We have evidence of £7,000 or £B,OOO
having been spent in bribery, and this, at £25 per vote,
would go a long way.
Witness.— I can't think it was all spent in bribery,
because there is a large class of voters who could not be
st) influenced.

EVENING CLASSES have, been formed for those whose pro-
fessional and business engagements render them unable to join
the Day Classes, and Gentlemen are at liberty to make their
own selection of the Clatises to be attended by them.

Thomas Bonnard, landlord of the White Hart Inn,
said he received £25 from lienworthy to vote for
Leatham. "A stranger" offered him £lO to vote for
Charlesworth, in his own house, The §tranger lle could
only describe as being a gent(y,:l man of respectable ap:,
pearance.
Mr. Joseph Brear, master, was re-examined—The•-•
list I produce contains the names of those who have got
" the needful." I gave £25 mere to George Moore
than I stated yesterday. He asked me for it, saying he
wanted to pay non-electors, or something of that sort.
I believe Crowther is right in sayinc, th at it was 1
• on
£lOO I left with him. I have seven., erpenietT
since the election, of which I have not kept an I
account. The bag I now produce, but the money
have kept myself. What I have left of the cash is a
sovereign and two half-sovereigns. I obtained the cash
at the Strafford -Arms, and Mr. Fernando was in the
room. I gave William Wright £3O for his-vote. I did
not give in his name yesterday.
William Williamson said—l got £35 for my vote
from Mr. Shaw. I voted for Leatham. Brear also
came and left £l5 on the table, as a bribe for Charles-
worth. I kept the £l5.
Charles Brady, marine store dealer, said—l got £3O
for my vote from Bror. Shaw, on the other side,
offered me £3O. I voted for Charlesworth.

understand that I should be able to obtain something
on the other side.
William Cass—l got £25 from Brear for my vote. I
had had previously offered me £3O to vote for Leatham,
but I did not accept it, as I never voted for that side in
my life.
George Perkin, stone-mason, sworn.---I got £3O from

In the Cotton Market to-day a large amount of
business was transacted, the sales reaching about
10,000 bales, of which 2,000 were for export or
taken on speculation. Notwithstanding the con-
siderable quantity of business done, from the very
abundant supply, the market might be said to
be on the whole dull, and prices underwent no
change.
