WALSALL ELECTION COM-
MITTEE.-(THIS DAY.)

(Continued from our First Edition. )
Witness then detailed the attack upon his house, which he
described as being of a very violent character. They even-
tually succeeding in repelling the mob,_ who were armed with
bludgeons. Patch represented himself as a Parliamentary
Agent, and gave me his card as such. He told me that he
came from the Carlton Club, and 1 believed him to be a true
man, and guaranteed his bill at the hotel, and gave him 41. to
take him to London. Mr. Barnett said I might lend Patch
the money. I have no claim against Mr. Gladstone or Mr.
Barnett, but I drew up the bill in the form it now is at Patch's
request, who told me I could not otherwise be paid. Mr.
Wilkins, the barrister, was brought there to be heard against
the r. peal of the Corn-laws. Ile used to make speeches in
favour of the Corn-laws, and Acland against them.
To Mr. AusTrw---I live chiefly by my inn. I act from im-
pulse, and have often given large treats, but I never gave away
1501. Patch did not promise that I should be paid by the
Carlton Club. I never intend to ask Mr. Barnett or Mr.
Gladstone for a. penny. Mr. Barnett has never held out any
hope of payment to me. He told me he would not sanction
any expense at my house. When the attack was made upon my
house, between three and four in the morning, there were a
great number of 3lr. Gladstone's friends inside. I dont know
whether there were any of them voters or not. Seven or eight
persons, including myself, were seriously hurt. The persons
who were hurt were all friends of Mr. Gladstone. The ma-
jority of the Corporation and Magistrates of the Borough were
opposed to Mr. Gladstone.
Sir. AUSTIN said it was half-past three o'clock, and he was
very tired. He wished to know whether the Committee had
any objection to an adjournment?
Tbe CHAIR3IxN said the Committee had arranged to sit till
four o'clock.

Elizabeth Taylor, examined by Mr. AUSTIN—I was a
waitress in Mr. Kilner's employment, at the last election,
at the New Inn. I recollect the night of the nomination.
There was a great number of persons, at least 100, going in
and out during the day. I should say there were about 40
during the
The CHAIRMAN inquired if there were any material facts
as to the parties by whom Kilner was employed, to be stated
by the witness. Because he thought he could say for the
Committee th t they were satisfied that there had been a good
deal of treating and drinking there during the day.
Mr. AUSTIN was perhaps satisfied with what had been stated
on that point ; buit he feared he and his Learned Friend might
not agree as to what might be admitted as proved.
After some discussion it was decided that the examination
of the witness should be proceeded with.
Examination resumed.—l saw ten or a dozen persons eating
and drinking on Tuesday. I saw 'Mar;ow on the Monday
evening. I did not wait in the long room at all. There
were two or three strange waiters employed. I saw Mr. "
Barnett come to our house several times, but he did not stay f
Mr. AUSTIN said he did not intend, after the expression of
the opinion of the Committee, to call any further witnesses of
the same class as the last.

Mr. Sergeant \lin/.NcitAm said the Learned Counsel should
be prepared to state whether he intended to close his case then
or examine further witnesses on Monday.
The Chairman said that the Committee did not think that
the Learned Counsel should be then pressed to state what his
course of proceeding would be, and the Committee adjourned
till Monday.

ST. ALBAN'S ELEUTION COM-

MITTEE.-(THIS DAY.)

The Committee met again this morning at Eleven o'Clock,
when Mr. John Brookes was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN.
Witness said I was at the hustings on the day of election.
The hustings occupied a large space; they were sometimes very
full, and at others nearly empty. ( A model of the hustings
was here produced.) They were never quite empty during
the day. I was one of the tally clerks for Mr. Cabbell, and
was anxious that he should succeed. The Mayor is a Con-
servative.

By the CHatalitax.—When Hardy came up to vote he was
required to take the bribery oath ; he did not object to tako
the oath, but. refused to take his hat off, and, therefore, the
Mayor refused to administer it to him. This circumstance
led to great confusion, during which Mr. Edwards addressed
the Mayor on the subject. Hardy was strongly urged to take
his hat off, but he refused for a length of time, but at last con-
sented, took the oath, and polled.
The Rev. James Brogden examined by Mr. TALBOT—I am
a clergyman of the Church of England; I was curate of St.
Michael's nearly three years ; I voted at the last election at
St. Alban's for Mr. Cabbell, and was one of those
who signed a requisition to the Mayor to admi-
nister the bribery oath as the electors presented
themselves to poll. I perfectly remember a man of the name
of Adams coming up ; it was before 12 o'clock. Adams when
he came into the booth was close to Mr. Cabbell. He
(Adams) called for the returning officer, which excited great
attention. I left my place and went close to Adams to learn
all he had to say. Adams made a statement in a very distinct
tone of voice, and in a very firm manner.
Mr. TALBOT.—'Then now tell the Committee what it wa
that Adams said.

Mr. COCKBURN objected to the question. The resolution o
the Committee, that a similar question could not be put to
Adams, applied to the present. case. His Learned Friends
had failed to prove the agency of Mr. Webster, and therefore
any statement of Adams could not effect Lord Listowell.
This was only an attempt to give the go-by to the resolution of
the Committee, and could not be entertained by the Committee.
lie repeated, that if the agency of lir. Webster was not proved,
anything that Adams said or did could not affect Lord Li,towell.
'1 he room was then cleared, and the Committee remained in
deliberation upwards of half an hour. On the re-admission of
strangers,

The CHAIRMAN said—The Committee are unanimously of
opinion that the question cannot now be put.
Mr. Brogd. n recalled.
Mr. HILLYA RD —You have said that what Adams stated
must have been heard by Lord Lord Listwell ? IWitness—Yes.
Mr. HILL YARD—After that, what was it you said to Lord
Listowell ?

Mr. COCKBURN objected.
The Committee decided that the question might be put.
Witness recalled, and the question repeated. I said to Lord
Listowel, " Here is purity of election and freedom of conscience."
I made this remark in a hind voice close to his Lordship.
When Adams came to the hustings he brought with him
a small paper parcel which he gave to the Mayor, and made a
statement. The Mayor afterwards opened the parcel. I saw the
contents of that .parcel ; it consisted of two 5/. notes and two
sovereigns. The notes were of the bank of Mr. Muskett.
Lo d Listowell was present when the parcel was opened. The
Mayor inspected the notes, which he took out of the parcel.
Mr. HILLYARD Did the Mayor in the presence of Lord
Listowell ask Adams, from whom he received the notes and the
sev, reigns ?
Mr. COCKBURN addressed the Committee against entertain-
ing the question, which shortly afterwards adjourned.

ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

FENNTIVO V. HVMPITERY.

The arguments of Counsel upon this motion, which oc-
cupied the greater part of 3esttriay, were resumed this
morning. It was a motion to discharge for irregularity an
crier directing the plaintiff, Mrs. Fcnnings, to elect
whether she would proceed in her suit in equity for the
specific petfoi-mance of an agreement entered into with her
by the defendant, Alderman Humplicry, M. P., or in
her action at law for damages oecasiocel by the
non-performarce of the agreement. The agreement
was entered into in May 1837, by which Alderman Hum-
phery agreed to let to the plaintiff, at a certain yearly
rent, a cellar under the warehouses at Hibernia Wharf, on
the Surrey side' of London-bridge, and to excavate and
form a vault contiguous to the same, within eighteen
months, from the 24th of June in the same year. The
defendant having violated his agreement, the plaintiff
prayed by her bill for its specific pc. formanee. Each party
had brought actions at law against the ether—the plain-
tiff for damages for the non-performance cf. the agreement,
and the defendant for rent due to Lim from the plaintiff.
Mr. Pemberton rind Mr. Jommett appeared for the
plaintiff in support of the motion, and Mr. Bothell and
Mr. Dunn far the defendant.

---••Ai the cone:uAion of the arguments this day the
Master of the Rulls stated lhat he wi-hed to look into the
pleadings, and would deliver judgment on Wednesday.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PArEES OF THIS DAT.
(From the Globe.)
All is changed in the Tory Camp since 1835. Then
the Tories prof:ssed themselves Conservatives of the
broiled mem elly against a democratic republic—of the
Hope of Lords against the abolition of hereditary
legislators, and of tie Establi•hed Churches against
voluntaryism. All is changed. Alonarchy, if attacked
at all, is assailed only by the wildest of the Chartists.
Not a murmur is now beard from the middle classes
against lawgiving lords. Voluntaryism,
only mutters feebly in out..of•the-way Dissentiog meeting
houses. But the aggressive. Tories are aoressiv if heard at all,
e. They have put
the Whigs into a defensive—a Conservative position.
The success cif the adverstisements of Conservatism
put forth by Sir Robert Peel in adduced by his an
mirers as proof unanswerable of his skill as a party
leader. He has increased the numbers of the Tor:es., until
their present stiength encourages them to assume
the aggressive. In 1835 they were 310, in 1841, they
claim to be but 325—an OppnEi.i,fil which in six
years has gained, even by their own account, only fif-
teen votes. We take our data from the author of the
pamphlet—" Peel shall lead us." The slowness of
this progress, and be f ear lest the Government should
