neither directly nor indirectly gave orders for treating
the electors. It was title he addressed a meeting of the
electors against the Maynooth grant, where the parties
present had some refreshment, but whose expense
it was at he really could not say. Mr. Bull,
however, and several of the Duke of Buckingham's
tenants,.were at the meeting, and no doubt that gentle-
man could explain where. the refreshments came from.
lie most positively denied that he Wok any voters to poll
while in a state of intoxication, nor did he ever attempt
to influence any of the electors of Aylesbury to control
their votes except in the way of speaking publicly
against the Maynooth grant. But he was not singular
►n that •teSpect, for there was a Radical baker at Ayles..'
bury whO' also 'attended meetings of the electors and
spoke against the maynooth grant.

had gained a firm hold of one of the
workshops, filled
with veneers, and goods partially finished. Owing to
their highly inflammable character, the fire spread with
amazing rapidity, so that in the course of a few minutes
the building became wrapped in one sheet of flame.
Information having been dispatched to the proper
quarters for assistance, with as little delay as possible
the engine belonging to Lord Robert Grosvenor's
estate , arrived, folowed by another from Messrs.
Itebinsons, the engineers, with six or eight belonging
to the London brigade, and those of the West of
England and County companies. There was an abun-
dance of water, but the flames continued to progress,
and it was not until ten o'clock that the conflagration
could be entirely extinguished, and not until property of
the value of several hundred pounds was reduced to
ashes. The origin of the fire could not be correctly as-
certained. Tho loss will fall on the Sun and County
Fire offices.
