CARLISLE.

The Carlisle Election Committee re-assembled this
morning, Mr. Divett in the chair, when the case for the
sitting Member, Mr. Hodgson, was proceeded with.
Mr. George Head, a banker of Carlisle. said that ho
had for several years taken a warm interest in the
politics of the city as a Conservative, and had repeatedly
been requested to stand for Carlisle. At the last election
he was again invited by his friends, amongst whom was
Mr. Ilodgson himself, to consent to be put in nomination,
but he declined to do so. He, however, told his
friends that if Mr. Hodgson would come for-
ward on the Conservative interest he would pay
all the expenses, and after some little hesitation Mr.
Hodgson allowed his name to be published as a can-
didate. Mr. Hodgson, however, found no part of the
money to meet the expenses of the election, nor had he
anything to do with the cases of treating, which had
been made out by the other side. Witness was the
only party responsible for all that, and he had already
spent 1.3001. in the purposes of the election. He still
held himself liable for all outstanding bills, and he had
no hesitation in stating that he never expected to receive
a single sixpence of the money from Mr. Hodgson.
