SUDBURY ELECTION COM-
MITTEE.—(THis DAY.)

The Committee met this morning at Eleven &Clock-
James Acland, examined by Mr. Sergeant MxitEvrEATHEtt
—I was a candidate at the last election for Sudbury. Went
there about a week before the election, but I did not canvass
them individually. I issued cards, and an address to the elec-
tors, and on the morning of the 4th, the day before the elec-
tion, I went there again. I saw the 11Iayor in the afternoon of
the 4th, having directed a communication to be made to him
previously. 1 then called upon him, and offered to make
any deposit that might be necessary for the expenses
of the election. The Mayor said there would be but one poll-
ing place, and the expense would be so very trifling that a
deposit was unnecessary. The Mayor asked what my inten-
tion was in the event of Mr. Bagshaw offering himself, and I
replied, that in that case it was any intention to make Mr. Bag-
shaw's cause my own. _ .

Mr. Sergeant WRANCIIAM objected to any evidence being
offered of the conversation with the Mayor, unless it was the
intention of his Learned Friend to call the Mayor.
Mr. Sergeant ME ItEWEATHE It said as he complained of the
Mayor's conduct, it certainly could not be his intention to call
him.

'fhe CHAIRMAN thought there was no objection to the exa-
mination.

Witness proceeded—The Mayor told me that he knew Mr.
Bagshaw would Le proposed—that it was the intention of the
smaller voters to put him in nomination. I said I certainly
should not oppose Mr. Bagshaw, and repeatedly stated that
to the electors in my addresses to them. Mr. Bagshaw's
opinions I have ascertained to be similar to my own. I pur-
chased some silk from the Mayor ( who is a draper) for my flag,
and some wheat ears. I addressed the electors that day, and
stated that I should withdraw if Mr. Bagshawe offered himself.
Mr. Bagshawe appeared to be very popular among a great
portion of the electors. Mr. Bagshawe had been Member
for Sudbury before. I went to the Town-hall the next
morning a few minutes before ten o'clock. Mr. Tomline sat on
the hit of the Mayor, and there was a place for me on the right.
The precept was then read—this was shortly after ten o'clock.
The Bribery Act was then read, and I believe the Mayor took
the usual oaths, and then swore in two poll clerks. I wit-
nessed many elections and never knew the poll clerks to be
sworn in before the nomination. Mr. Tomline was then
proposed by Mr. Jones, who was rather tipsy, anti did not
know the name of the candidate. After the nomination
was 'seconded the Mayor said he was ready to receive the
nomination of any other gentleman, and it was expected that Mr.
I3agshawe would be proposed. There was no distinct statement
that he would be proposed, bat that was the general feeling of
the electors. When I was at breakfast that morning I was
told that it was intended to propose Mr. Bagshawe. 1 waited
to see whether Mr. Bagshawe would be proposed. There was
a slight pause, and then the Mayor said, " Well, then, gentle-
men, if—" and I interrupted him, saying, " Pray give them
time." He said, " I will give them a minute." Mr. Tomline
pulled out his watch, and showed it to the Mayor. A per-
son 4in the body of the Hall, named Hassell, said, " I
propose Mr. Bagshawe," and then there was a shout for Bag-
shawe, and a great deal of shouting and cheering. I said to
the Mayor—" They nominate Mr. Bagshawe." I think he
must have heard me. I have not the slightest doubt he did.
Mr. Tomline immediately said "Mr. Mayor, the time is up."
I am sure he did not show his watch to the Mayor till after Has-
sell had proposed Mr. Bagshawe. Alderman Purr then said,
after this burst of enthusiam, " I propose Mr. Bagshawe," and
Mr. Saxby seconded the nomination. I said you have heard,and
we all have heard, Mr. Bagshawe duly proposed and seconded, and
the Mayor replied, " But not till after the minute had expired,
and therefore I declare Mr. Tomline duly elected." 1 said,
I protested on behalf of Mr. Bagshaw against the return as
illegal. There is no doubt that the Mayor and Mr. Tomline
heard the nomination of Mr. Bagshaw. When I had returned
to my hotel after the election the half hour had not expired.
The greater portion of the time was occupied in the prelimi•
nary proceedings. I heard a great many of the people say,
4, We will have Bagshawe," while the nomination was going
on. There were many respectable persons in the body of the
Hall. I could form no opinion as to whether the persons who
shouted for Bagshawe formed a majority.
By the CHAIRMAN—When the Mayor declared Mr. Tom-
line elected, I did not hear Mr. Purr make any observation. •
By Mr. LA SCE LLES—I was in expectation of being pro-
posed in the event of Mr. Bagshawe not being nominated. I
know many electors shouted for Bagshawe. I heard that some
of the leading men in Mr. Bagshawe's interest did not intend
to propose him.
The witness was then ordered to withdraw, and
Mr. Sergeant I\ lEREWEATHER. said that was the case for
the petitioners against the return. As Mr. Coltman, who had
been retained, was unavoidably absent, and as Mr. Leahy, his
Learned Friend, who had been only instructed a day or two
previously, and was not in perfect possession of the facts of
the case, he should, if Counsel on the other side had no objec-
tion, sum up the evidence.
Mr. Sergeant WRANWIAM objected to any deviation from
the usual course.
Mr. LEAHY explained the circumstances under which he
had been called upon to take Mr. Coltburn's place, and
Mr. Sergeant Wit ANG nit 31( withdrew his objection.
Mr. Sergeant MEREWEATHER then proceeded to sum up
the evidence.
(He was proceeding when we went to Press.)
