WATERFORD.

The Committee met to-day at two o'clock. Mr. MILES, Chairman.
Mr. TALBOT said he had to apply to the Committee for an adjourn-
ment of the opening statement until Monday, in consequence of the im-
possibility of Mr. Thesiger, who was leader in the case, giving his attend-
ance that day, he being very particularly engaged in another Committee.
room. He did not expect that his Learned Friends on the other side
woald offer any objection to the application, as it could not in any manner
add to the expenses of the sitting Member, it having been previously ar-
ranged that they should proceed no further than the opening that day.
Mr. AUSTIN said it was not a mere question of pounds, shillings, and
pence. He understood that the scrutiny had been abandoned, and
that there was no charge then against them but that of bribery. Now
had his Learned Friend told his story, they would have had the advan-
tage of two posts to make inquiries into the cases. They were at pre.
sent totally unacquainted with any charge that was made against them.
The Cusiems.sr—Mr. Austin, should you require any time after hear-
ing the statement in order to prepare yourself, I am sure the Committee
will willingly afford it.

Mr. Au-sr-IN—Sir, I am contented with such a statement, and leave
he case with the Committee.

The Committee then ;dloUrned till Monday.
