BRIBERY BILL.

Sir J. PAKINGTON moved to nominate the Select
Committee on the Bribery at Elections Bill.
On the name of Sir J. Hanmer being proposed,
Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the Hon. Baronet, on
the ground of the strong part he had taken in relation
to bribery. He moved to substitute the name of the
Hon. Member for Peebleshire (Mr. F. Mackenzie).
The motion having been withdrawn, Sir J. Hanmer
was nominated.

Colonel SIBTHORP suggested to the Hon. Baronet
(Sir J. Pakington) that it would be desirable for him
to select the Attorney-General to serve upon his Cord-
mittee, because no man in that louse knew more about
bribery.—(A laugh.)
The AT f ORNEY-GENERAL—If the House wishes,
I will of course serve upon the Committee, but as the
lion. and Gallant Member has put it on such grounds, I
shall decline.

SIBTHORP—The Hon. and Learned Gen-
tleman is either very much conversant with bribery, or
else he is very much belied.—(A laugh.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with warmtb)—The
Hon. and Gallant Member has no right to say so. I
have already denied it.
Colunel SIBTHORP—What?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—What you say , I
have been guilty of. I have denied in this House that
I have had anything to do with bribery, and the Hon.
and Gallant Member has no right to repeat it.
Colonel SIBTHORP utterly denied having charged
the Attorney-General with having been guilty of bri-
bery.—(Ob.)
Sir J. PAKINGTON hoped this matter would go no
further.
The other Members were then nominated, and the
Select Committeee stands as follows:—Sir J. Pakington,
Lord Ashley, Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Bouverie, Lord Ma-
hon, Mr. grotherton, Mr. Walpole, Mr. Legh, Sir J.
Ilanmer, Mr. Horsman, Mr. Wrightson, Mr. Napier,
Mr. Maitland, Mr. Mailings, and Mr. Sheridan.
The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the
louse adjourned at °tie o'clock.
