ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)

LUDLOW.

The Committee met again to-day at eleven o'clock.

Sarah Merrick was recalled, and, in reply to ques-
tions from Mr. Cockburn, stated that on Monday, the
3d of June, prior to this election, she went to Coleman's
house, and saw Mrs. Coleman, who informed her that
she had the money for Mr. Merrick, if he chose to take
it, and would vote for Mr. Clive ; and afterwards took
her into her bed room, and showed her some money, but
what amount she could not tell. There were a great
many sovereigns. Mrs. Coleman said the money should
be given to her husband after he had voted. Witness
informed her husband of what Mrs. Coleman had
stated, and subsequently returned and told Mrs. Cole-
man, by desire of her husband, that if the money were
not sent to him immediately, it would be unnecessary
to say anything more upon the subject, as be did
not wish to be bothered further about it. While
conversing with Mrs. Coleman, Mr. Coleman came
in, and having informed him of the nature of her
business, at the request of Mrs. Coleman she was
desired to wait a few minutes. Mr. and Mrs.
Coleman having retired, the latter in a few minutes
returned, and put into witness's hand 331. in sovereigns,
and three 51. notes, inclosed in a piece of brown paper,
saying she would lend it to her. Witness replied—
" Very well," and went home and gave it to her husband.
—[The piece of brown paper, with three country bank-
notes and a quantity of sovereigns, was here produced
and i•!entified by the witness as being the money she re-
ceived
from Mrs. Coleman.] She was desired to tell
her husband not to vote until the morning, nor to come
to Coleman's until after the election had concluded.

On being cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant MERE-
WETHER, the witness stated that she handed the money
to her husband, and they had kept it ever since, be-
cause although having paid away several sums subse-
quently, they had not had any occasion to touch this
money. She also stated that on the polling day she
saw Mr. Coppock exhibiting the money from the bal-
cony of a house in Ludlow, but did not hear what Mr.
Coppock said. He had previously been to her house
and saw her husband, but she did not hear what passed
between them.

By Mr. HORS lAN, a member of the Committee.—
Her husband, although the money was given to him to
vote for Mr. Clive, voted for Mr. Alcock. He had
always been a Reformer. Her husband knew the
money was given for his vote for Mr. Clive.
By Lord SANDON—She did not at the time think
it was a singular thing that Mr. Coppock should ex-
hibit the money in the way he did. She gave it to Mr.
Coppock, having taken it out of her husband's
drawer, in which it had been locked up.
She had no particular reason for handing it to Mr.
Coppock, although she would not have given it to any
person who might have chanced to have asked for it.
By Lord Howtcx—lt was by her husband's desire
that she gave the money to Mr. Coppock.
By Mr. HonsmAN—Mr. Coppock and her husband
came to the house together upon this occasion. Mr.
Coppock accompanied her into the bed room—
(Laughter)—whcre she gave him the money. Her
husband went into the kitchen.

By the CHAIRMAN—She had made a mistake in say-
ing she had kept the money ever since she received it
from Mrs. Coleman, because it certainly had been in
Mr. Coppock's possession.
By Mr. HoßsMAN—\Vhen she received the money
from Mrs. Coleman, she did not promise that her husband
should vote for Mr. Clive, although undoubtedly that
was the understanding. Her husband chose to vote for
Mr. Alcock.
Mr. TALBOT then addressed the Committee, and
contended that a case of bribery had been clearly sub-
stantiated against Mr. Clive by means of his agents.
Mr. AUSTEN contra argued on behalf of Mr. Clive,
and the Learned Counsel having concluded his address,
The Committee adjourned at a few minutes after
four until twelve o'clock on Monday, when the decision
will be given, and the whole proceedings terminate.
