farthing except for legal expenses. He had never once
been asked for money, and only twice for drink, in al
his canvasses.
Sir G. GREY hoped all the gentlemen who repro.
rented small boroughs would not think it necessary to
detail the circumstances of their canvasses.—(Laughter.)
In the present case he had no hesitation in refusing his
assent to the motion before them. The evidence of the
Committee was not before them, and until it was, andil
until it had been considered, he should not vote in O
case for the issue of the writ.
Mr. MANGLES rose to explain. He had not at'
tacked small boroughs indiscriminately, but had star
that a small number of voters could always turn tas
scale.
Mr. COBDEN said he hoped the House genersll9
was more pure than had been represented. Of this be
felt convinced—that some of the cases which bad boa
brought before the House were by no means such dr
grant cases as had occurred in other ces at the last
election. He believed the cases of Scir Joshua Wein .
ley and Mr. Gardner at Leicester, of Mr. Seeley 6;
Lincoln, and of the late Honourable Member far
ar.)
Lancaster, were peculiarly hard cases.—(Hear, he 0
He believed the last elections in these boroughs or
0
as fairly conducted as ever elections bad been at tll°l
piacee.—(Cheers.) But what he rose to advert to
wes,
the fact that the Hon. Member for Droitwich bsu
thought it tit to give notice of his intention to interl!te,
between his lion. Friend (Mr. Hume) and the de for
of the douse on Tuesday night. The lion. Member b°.
Droitwich had declared that he did not knot! that he
should so interfere when he gave his notice. Buticjil;
knew it now. The fact had been stated to him. •
reply was, that his motion was of so much iinpettsnr,•
that he could not postpone it. But there was De ecoc;.
sion to postpone it. He might bring it forward te-istnow,
row, or on .alonday.—(Hear, hear.) If be did,
ever, persist in bringing it forward on Tuesday, be 7 a
drive himself and his friends to take the only recast°
course which was open to them, and raise discussioes;%
the general state of the representation of theppep,
whenever the question of a writ was raised.—(Cbeerd to
Mr. W. MILES thought Mr. Hume fairly entitle .00

of the people. With regard to the question before tue`o
he thought that as the subject was recommended 10 t'fote
for consideration by a Committee, he ought not

for the present issue of the writ.
Mr. GORING also said he should vote forth e 5146'

r. STAFFORD said he should move t0.'03°114°,. the

because the evidence was not before the House. elO
would it be laid before them? If any printer sere
