THE DERBY ELECTION.--BIIIBERY
DERBY, THIIRSDAY.:—The turther hearing, this
case, postpones from Thursday last, when the exami_
nations were in private, took place to-day before the
Mayor and a numerous bench of magistrates—numerous
gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood being present.
Alorgan, the prisoner, being brought into court,
Mr. Moss rose and said—lt will be in your reFollec-
non that at the last examination of witnesses in this

case reference was made---to a letter perhaps
proceeding with the case it may be desirable and before
proceeding theperson of the prisoner,w havethe
which was teend
depositions then taken read over, that the case may be
fully before the bench.
Mr. Smallwood, solicitor, of Shrewsbury,who attendede
for the prisoner said, that ae on the former occasion he
was present, and as the magistrates were themselves
conversant with the facts, he deemed it unnecessary to
Occupy the time of the bench in reading the former facts
deposed, to, when
. .
The Magistrates suggested that as they would have,to
be read over to the several witnesses at the close of the
case, that could be dispensed with. •

Mr. Moss then said he should proceed to prove the
handwriting of the letter in question, when •be called

Mr. Moss then handed the witness the letter, 'nod

whose handwriting the letter in question was, when
Mr. Keogh stated it was, as well as the envelope in
which it was contained, in the handwriting of Major
William Beresford.

The letter 44's addressed to " Mr. John Frail, clerk cf
the Course, shrewsbury," and was as follows:
" A good and safe man, with judgment and quickness,
is wanted imtuediatoly at Derby. I ',suppose that you
cannot leave your own place; if not, send some one
whom you can trust in your place. Lot hita: go to

and .in the room he found the prisoner atundmg near the

and purse were tound ou his per.on.• One oilier bag
was taken possession of by Hardy, Inman r officer.
Witness turili,.r stated that the prisoner (Morgan)said
he thought Derby was a poor place, as it took as nut
to pay two votes in his place us twenty cost here, and
that the money he had would not have lasted him in
Shrewshury two hours, or perhaps n ,t one. There Were
iu notes one 104 and six 51. notes. The gold in the bag
witness couuted amounted to 1301.; the amount in the
other he did not count. Morgan said he had had the
money given to him, and that they (meaning the officers)
might have bad some as well as he, but that now be
should claim it. Witness also said he (Morgan) had
said that, he was vic;imised, and that he came to Derby
as a pull clerk, and if he had known what be was to be
employed in he would never have come; that thenso_rnea),
was brought to him by a tallish man dressed i_n h
clothing, whom he did not know, nor could be tell againdho
unless he had some conversation with him, as when
came it was dark, and the gas was no: lit.

In the prisoner's pocketbook was found, among other
entries, the No. 1,053, with 21. set over against it.
Milt closed the case for the prosecution, when Mr.
Smallwood, the prisoner's attorney, addressed the Bench
at some length on the part of the prisoner, and the ma-
gistrates retired to consider their decision, and were ab.; sent about half an hour. When they returned, •
The Mayor said they found sufficlent evidence to com.
mit the prisoner, but would receive bail.
Mr. Moss then rose, and said, from the extreme biz.,
portance of the case, involving as it did, many per-
sonages of the most elevated station, he hoped such bail
would be demanded as would satisfy the ends of juse
tioe, and defend the morality of the country. He bad 1)°,
wish, to press tho matter against the unfortunate pri"
soner, who was no doubt a victim, but he trusted she,
court would secure to itself and the country the metal 11
of preventing such highly immoral proceedings.
Mr. Smallwood was heard in reply, when •
The Mayor cud magistrates fixed the bail a
sonar, 3001 ; and two sureties, 1501. each.
