NORTH CIIESHIRE

The case for the petitirtnors having closed,
Mr. MEREWETHER addressed the Committee at some
length on behalf of the sitting
Member, Mr. Lech,
that Mr. Legh's majority could not in
any way be attributed to the alleged treating.
Both Mr. Legh and his opponent, Mr. AstleY,
were free-traders, but Mr. Legh was also a Con-
servative, and he secured his majority in the agricul-
tural district?. Ile announced his intention to call wit-
nesses to rebut the alleged charges of treating and the
agency, and he was quite sure that in the end the Com-
mittee would find that tho refreshments were supplied
by the innkeepers upon speculation and their own re-
sponsibility.

Mr. Rocoe, of linutsford the principal electioneering
agent of Mr. Legh, proved that ho appointed Messrs.
Reddish, Nichols, Nicholson, Colville, Barrett, and May,
as his, assistant agents. Sir .Richard Brooke acted as
chairman of Mr. Legh's committee. On the afternoon
of the nomination day, Mr. Legh announced to his
friends at the George Inn, limitsfOrd, that he was a de-
cided opponent of treating or the distribution of refresh-
ment tickets. Witness gave strict directions to all parties
officially concerned for Mr. Legh to discountenance
everything in the shape of treating, while he at the same
time cautioned the innkeepers that neither Mr. Legh
this testimony.
nor his committee would be responsible for any re-
freshments they might supply to the voters. The
other agents were called to
corroborate
They all agreed. in stating that every precaution
was taken during the election to avoid treating. They
admitted that they were applied to for orders, hut they
invariably refused to sanction anything in the shape of
treating, knowing that it would void the election. Bills
had.sinee been sent into them for the refreshments sup-
plied to the voters, but they had always disputed and
refused to pay thern.—Adjourned.

TEA.—The market for Congou of all sorts looks firm;
there is a good demand, prices are fully as high as they
were on this day week, whilst there is a less quantity on
offer. There is evidently a desire on the part of, the
town and country trade generally to get into stock, as

cheaper, but the sales made aro upon a large scale,
and reach to 400 puns. Holders of Jamaica are reluc-

to 38 over 3s Sd to 33 10d, fine 4s to 4s 3d, and high
flavoured 3s 9d to 43 6d. The low and middling
sorts are the most difficult of sale. East India has
been dealt in with caution. A parcel of Mauritius
of good quality has been sold at is 7d proof.
Brandy is yet attracting little attention, and as the stock
continues on the increase, holders are willing to sell.
Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1846 at 4s 6d to
4s Bd, and 1847 ditto at 34 7d to 3s 9d per gallon. Ge-
neva sells more freely at is 10d to is lid for ordinary,
and at 2s 6d to 5s for fine. British made Spirit is in ex-
cellent request, and former rates are well supported.

week for both home use and export, the low and mid-
dling qualities meeting with tho most attention. In
several cases the rates paid show a small advance on
those ofis the last quarterly sale. For Spanish the de-
mandgetting brisker, and holders refuse to sell upon
former terms.
