THE BERESFORD BRIBERY CASE.

_ _ ---
DERBY, MONDAY.—The legal gentlemen engaged in
preliminarily investigating the charge of bribery at
the late election in this borough have, it is said,
obtained a great deal of important evidence—among
other things a number of letters from the Secre-
tary at War, in addition to the one already before the
public, intimately connecting him with the recent
corruptions, and evidencing a very close
intimacy be-
tween himself and Frail of Shre7sb
Shrewsbury. The evidence
to be adduced before a commission of inquiry will
unfold many interesting facts, noti the least interest-
ing of which will be the manner n which the doings
of the corruptionists were brought to light. To show
that no effirts calculated to frustrate the "knavish
tricks" of their opponents were spared by the Libe-
rals, we may observe that detectives from London, ob.
tained at their instigation, were in the town, both
during the election and for a week previous, disguised
as commercial travellers, and were located at the
quarters by the Tory party.
hotels selected as head quarters
of the men employed in bribing
.the electors were
strangers from Nottingham and
.Liverpool, but chiefly
from the town last named, where it is believed they had
been practising their nefarious arts for some days pre-
viously in favour of Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie.
Mr. Foreshaw, Mr. Horsfall's solicitor, has for some
days been at the King's Head Hotel in Derby, en-
deavouring to get up a counter case, but without
success, the Liberal party having throughout stea-
dily abstained from illegal methods of obtaining
votes. As soon as Sharrack, . the man who impeached
the Tory agents for having bribed him with two sove-
reigns, had finished giving his evidence, he was served
with the notice required before recovering the penalty
imposed by the recent Act upon parties receiving bribes,
and
.it is believed this foolish proceeding is likely to be
earned on, regardless of the fact that the plaintiffs in the
ea!_e are exposing many of their own friends to the cer-
tainty of having to contend with similar actions in re-
taliation.
