LUDLOWELECTIONCOMMITTEE

(THIS DAY.)
The Coifitinittee met again this day at eleven o'clock, when
Mr. COCKBURN opened his ei'M against the Clive interest.
He said he would be enabled to prove a case et treating, such
a had never yet come under the cognizance of any Cdtilinit-
tee. Ile wotild be enabled to prove one of the grossest and
worst eases of corruption which had ever been inquired into.
Of course his first duty would be to prove the agency of those
parties WheSe conduct he Would impeach. Vast of all he would
prove that Mr. William Holmes, a well-6(31 qt Cbdritetef; was
the prime agent and mover of all the corruption which idok
place at the late election for Ludlow. He would show him re-
siding at Denham House—presiding over the Committee
formed there for the purpose* of the election --giving general
orders respecting it, and in constant communication with Mr.
11, Clive, the candidate. He would have little difficulv also
in proving the agency of Dancy, Frail and Kevis, all of whom
were deeply engaged in the corrupt practices which had been so
plentiful at the late election--.the names of Williams and Lloyd
would also be frequently brought before the Committee in con-
nection with these cases. His Learned Friend had had much
difficulty in proving any case of treating, and bringing it homo
to any agent of Mr. Alcock. He (Mr. C.) would have no
difficulty at all in proving the grossest case of wholesale treat-
ing carried on, not secretly, but openly. Voters were not
invited privately to go to So-and-so, and they would get spirits
or ale. No, they were invited by placards posted throughout
the town, inviting the voters to such an inn one night, and
another, another night. He would prove that those meetings
were presided over by one of Mr. Clive's agents—that they
made electioneering speeches—that Mr. Clive very frequently
attendedand that the' voters paid nothing for the liquor. which .
had been consumed. His next prod would be of bribery , eiy
and although at all times it was very difficult to get at cases of
