surance-o.ffiee in the City. Oa the afternoon of the 9 "
of July he was 's.taiking with his wife in liensingt"o
gard-us, when be saw the tiefer h
dant, who told him he
did not wish c,implainant to say he bad seen him in the
gardens, as he was in difficulties, and had been Aso for
some time. The defendant, after some further cuvier;
station, recalled, to his recollection that he had bought °L

such a serious case. It would be a perfect mockery to
deal with it as a case fur flue, and he should therefore
send it before a jury.

THE DERBY _ELECTION.—BRIBERY..
DERBY, THMISDAY.—The further hearing of this
case, postponed from Thursday mut, 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.
Morgan, the prisoner, being brought into court,
Mr. Moss rose and said—lt will be in your recollec-
tion that at the last examination of witnesses in this
case reference was made to a letter which was found
upon the person of the prisoner, and perhaps betore
proceeding with the case it may be &tamable to have the
depositions then taken read over, that the case may be
fully before the bench.
Mr. Smallwood, solicitor, of Shrevvsbury,who attended
for the prisoner, said, that as on the former occasion he
was present, and as the magistrates were themselves
conversall with the facts, he deemed it unns.ces'ary to
occupy the time of the bench in reading the former facts
deposed to, when
The Magi .trares suggested that as they would have to
be read ov,r to the sev.-ral witnesses at the close of the
case, that could be di,ppnsed with.
Mr. Moss then said he should proceed to prove the
hand vvriring of the letter in question, when be called

present Member for Athlone, and that he at present re-

whici it was omtained, in the handwriting of Major
William Beresford.
The letter was addressed to " Mr. John Frail, clerk of
the Course, Shrewsbury," and was as follows:
•' A good and safe man, with judgment and quickness,
is waLLed immediately at Del by. I suppose that you
cannot leave your own place; if nut, send some one
whom you can trust in your place. Let him go to
Ddtoy on receiving this, and find the County Tavern, in
the centre of the town, and send his card to Cox, Bro-
thers, and Company, lead works, as comiLg from
" W. B.
Che,t,r; that wilt be enough.

" kt,eiday."
Mr. lALss, addressing the bench, called attention to
the seal, which he stated clearly bore the impress of the
Carlton Club, with the Prince's leathers, &c.; but, al-
though the seal was subjected to the scrutiny of a mag-
nifying glass, the impression did not appear to warrant
the conclusion.
The letter was then banded to the prisoner's solicitor,
who said the letter "N " was the only one he could
detect.
Mr. Gisbourne asked witness bow long it was since
he was connected with the Reading and Reigate Railway
Company, when he stated that it was tour or five years
ago when the company broke up, but he had not the
least doubt of the writing being the handwriting of
Major Beresford.
Police-constable Fearn said, from information be bad
received he proceeded to the County Tavern, situate in
St. Mary's-gate, where, on passing through the yard
and proc.eding up a back staircase, he was stopped by
a man who said he could not let him pass, when, on a
signal which he had been made acquainted with being
used, he Was (being in plain clothes) allowed to pass,
and in the room he found the prisoner standing near the
fireplace, and his pocketbook on the table (which book
he produoed), and on conveying him to the lock-up,
where he was searched, the gold contained in the bag
and purse were 'nand on his person. One other bag
was taken possession of by Hardy, a(notohregrano)ffiscaeidr.
Witness furthsr stated that the prisoner m
he thought Derby was a poor place, as it took as much
to pay two votes in his place es twenty cost here, and
that the money he had would not have lasted him in
Shrewsbury two hours, or perhaps not one. There were
in notes one 101. and six 51. notes. The gold in the bag
witness counted 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 had sums as well as he, but that now he
should claim it. Witness also said he (Morgan) had
said that he was victimised, and that he came to Derby
as a pull clerk, and if he had known what he was to be
employed in he would never have come; that the money
was brought to him by a tallish man dressed in drab
clothing whom he did nut know, nor could he tell again
unless tie had some conversation with him, as when be
came it, was dark, and the gas was not lit.
Police. sergeants Hardy and Mellor confirmed the par-
ticulars of F, acne's statement, proving, in addition, that
135 sovereigns in gold were found in the prisoner's
trousers' pocket., and a leathern purse containing Dix
hell-sovereigns; that when they asked prisoner bow

The Mayor said they found sufficient evidence to com-
mit the prisoner, but would receive bail.
Mr. Moss then rose, and said, from the extreme im-
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 jail•
tice, and defend the morality of the country. He had no
wish to press the matter against the unfortunate pri-
soner, who was no doubt a victim, but he trusted the
court would secure to itself and the country the means
of preventing such highly immoral proceedings.
Mr. Smallwood was heard in reply, when
The Mayor and magistrates fixed the bail at—prig
goner; 3001 ; and two sureties, 1501. each.
The sureties were John Lloyd, Trumpet Inn,
Mardoll, Shrewsbury; John Lloyd, Sir William Hill's
Arms Inn, Shrewsbury.
