and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who
may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi-

warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise; and
we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with
inch delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review.

DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE.

The Committee met yesterday at half-past twelve o'clock,
when Counsel for the sitting Members re-argued the point de-
cided against them on Saturday, namely, that " the poll-books
were not evidence except in the individual cases in which they
were before the Commissioners in Dublin." After hearing
Counsel for petitioners in reply, the Committee retired, and
the Clerk read the following decision :—" That the resolution
adopted on the 17th of March, and confirmed on Saturday, was
founded not only on the view taken by the Committee of the ex-
press conditions of the Act of Parliament, but on their convic-
tion that it would have been unjust to have admitted the poll-
books in proof of qualification and identity in any especial
case, while, by the production of those books in that
case the opposing party had been precluded from cross-
examination before the Commissioners ; but that in re-
ference to the fact of an elector having actually voted, the
Committee, referring to their reply to the 19th question trans-
mitted as an instruction to the Commissioners, as well as the
lists interchanged between the parties, cannot now permit that
fact to be disputed where the Commissioners have received
evidence, without objection taken before them, on the ground
of insufficiency of proof of voting."
Mr. WRANGHAM submitted that before any vote was struck
off from the petitioners, Messrs. West and Hamilton's poll, that
it should be deemed necessary first to prove that the vote in
question was actually recorded in favour of those gentlemen.
The CHAIRMAN said it was not for the Committee to inquire
for whom the party polled; but the question for investigation
was, whether the vote was one to which the party was not en-
titled, on account of his disqualification, being in arrears for
taxes, &c.
Mr. HARRISON then entered at great length—being about
an hour arguing the point—into the question at issue, citing
the Middlesex, Canterbury, and New Sarum cases, in which
the principle for which he contended was recognised and acted
upon.
Mr. YOUNG—What is it to the Committee for whom the
vote was given ? If it were a bad vote, the duty of the Com-
mittee is to strike it off. _ _

Mr. WRANGHAM said that in the Bedford case, the whole
matter hinged upon one vote, which ultimately decided the
election, the candidates on that occasion being Lord Ormelie
and Mr. St. John. It was shown to the Committee, that a
vote had been recorded, by mistake, upon the poll, which
ought to have been placed on the other side, and the candidate,
who had been deprived of it at the hustings, was ultimately
declared duly elected.
Mr. HARRISON trusted that the Committee would adhere to
the original resolution of the 17th of March, otherwise great
injustice would be done to his clients.
Mr. YOUNG said that he, for one, never would be driven into
the absurdity of excluding the poll-books from being referred
to as evidence. _ _ _

Mr. Wa&Nceam conceived that it was of vital importance,
as concerned the interests of his clients, that the original reso-
lution should be adhered to.

A long conversational species of argument then ensued,
during which the second dispute between Mr. Harrison and
Mr. Joy, alluded to above, took place ; at the close of which,
Evidence was read affecting the vote of a man named
William Tute, a voter living at No. 31, Barnard-street. An-
other of those inconveniences of having more than one house
with the same number in the same street occurred; for it ap-
peared that no fewer than three houses bearing the same
number, 41, were to be found in Bernard-street ; and that the
inmates of one of them was intitled to vote, for at the other
two there was an arrear of the paving-tax rate existing at the
period of the election.

Mr. WRANGHAM was beard at some length in support of
the votes, and he also went into the point, which had been
partly argued before, of the necessity of having it proved on
the other side, for whom the voter in question gave his vote,
inasmuch as at present it had not appeared whether he had
voted for Messrs. Hamilton and West, or either of them, or
both, or neither; and such being the case, if, the Committee
reduced their majority by one, they would be dealing unfairly
towards them. The Learned Gentleman also contended that
the resolution of to-day was inconsistent with the former one
adverted to by his learned Friend, and that the original re-
solution upon which they had acted since the 17th of March
ought to be adh.;red to.
The Committee reti:ed, and on returning, a resolution, to
the effect that the vote of Was, Ti7tf, must he struck off the
poll, was read by the Committee clerk:
The vote was consequently removed.
The scrutiny of another vote was gone into, but nothing of an
interesting character was presented.
The Committee did not adjourn until nearly six o'clock.
