metre than six hours. The Court was adjourned till

At the conclusion of the evidence upon the Iva-
tigghafts Committee Eledion, on Saturday, a conver-
sation took place between the Counsel and the Com-
mittee ; in the course of which it was represented,
that the sitting Members laboured under extreme
hardship, in consequence of having had to defend
four different Petitions ; but as the result had been
that of unequivocally clearing
.Mr. Mac H'S charac-
ter from the aspersions cast upon it, he disdained to
complain. Heavy as the expenses were, it was
said he would willingly hare expended twice as
mach in vindication of his character

fright, intiizn "away► withilint, threw him car. and

lead was muwk beat aad bruised; he
