Mr. Joseph Yeates, examined by Mr. '
Serjeant MER!
WEATHER...I am a merchant at Liverpool. I have it'
tressed many elections for that place, and on every ncr'
sion have I been disgusted with the bribery and corruptingthat was carried on. Shortly after the death o
M-5 Huskisson, a canvass was commenced by t.
Ewart and Mr. Denison. Both gentlemen , I°,;;
cited my vote. 1 told them that I C"1",„:41
cons..ietltiously vote fdr either of themwhens°;-re-
bribery and corrtiptiiiii Was W forard. n,,
plied, •they were sorry such was the case, and PfP,P:i
nison added, that indeed it was lamentable that
ag
nature should be so deprived as to render such thin!: risine-
cessary. He continued, "I am very sorry for it, and f
not myself privy to the facts of bribery ; keePtaP
p
from all parties." I was on the hustings on the firs daa
of the poll, when a voter came u
.aid, " Will you pledge yourself not to exercise any bribeWe
during the election ?" The man was in a ragged dres:',„t
was not allowed by the 'Magistrates to speak ; h
hav'na. a 0 better coat on, repeated the question en,A-olt
candidates, but could not extract an answer. I d'"
oieg
exactly see the money paid, but the bribery that svai
nom the hustings until the last day of the
on was so notorious and disgusting that I kept °ln
to Mr. Deni'°°'
consequence of my name being called by the Magist7se
and candidates to vote, I addresed the Mayor, in B„ft'is
of voice that might be heard all over the hurting
nit
somewhat the following words :—" For God's sake n
vote.,
press me. You know I cannot conscientiously
am too disgusted with the proceedings in 'this deer
they are so scandalous and gross, that I will ;sot vote,.'
On Mr. Yates's cross-examination by Mr. SerAsir,
&Arm:, he said that he had the highest opinion 01'
Ewan as a man.
Re-examined—l do not think there was more brinelli
at the last than on former elections. Mr. Canuirt.

The dinner took place at the King's Arms. A great
of that house was engaged for Mr. Ewart's Comulitt7t;
One of the rooms was marked " The Out Coirunl;
room." I do not think it was marked "Out `7,01
mittee Pay Room." I have certainly seen persoo6 rod
there. I%e election commenced on a Tuesdafr id
continued seven days. I did not see any pereonso
for the first three days ; indeed, I only distinctly reale orei

but I believe lie was an out voter. He came front oe

Tosse tickets were given to the Captain. When I Fete
the voter to the room he asked his expences, and they 06
paid him. I polled from 100 to 200 voters during the
election. They were afterwards taken to a room at
King's Arms. 11e4
Mr. Serjeant MEmEwaavruEu—Was that room el

Mr. GOULD—I do not remember it by this naree'vog
