ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
DUBLIN.

The scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' ma-
iority was resumed, but the petitioners did not succeed
in !triking off any additional votes to-day. The objec-
tions arose out of the non-payment of the Dublin wide
str. ets-tax, but the petitioners tailed to prove to the satis-
factiun of the Committee that a legal valuation had been
made of the parish of St. Mark's.

NORTH CHESHIRE.

The case for the petitioners having closed,

Mr. MEREWETHER addressed the Committee at some
length on behalf of the sitting Member, Mr. Legh,
contending 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 districts. lie announced his intentio❑ 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 the refreshments were supplied
by the innkeepers upon speculation and their own re-
Mr. Roscoe, of Knutsford, the principal electioneering
agent of Mr. Legh, proved that he appointed Messrs.
Reddish, Nichols, Nicholson, Colville, Barrott, and May,
as his assistant agents. Sir Richard Brooke acted as
chairman of Mr. Legh's committee. On the afternoo❑
of the nominatio❑ day, Mr. Legh announced to his
friends at the George Inn, linutsford, that he was a de-
cided opponent of treating or the distribution of refresh-
ment ticket:. Witness gave strict directions to all parties
officially concerned for Mr. Legh to discountenance
everything in the shape of treating, while he at the ►ame
time cautioned the innkeepers that neither Mr. Legh
nor his committee would be responsible for any re-
freshments they might supply to the voterF. The
other agents were called to corroborate this testimony.
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, but they
invariably refused to sanction anything in the shape of
treating, knowing that it would void the election. Bills
had since been sent into them for the refreshments sup-
. plied to the voters, but they had always disputed and
refused to pay them.—Adjourned.
