The case of treating
Thomas Symes, the waiter at the Hibernia Hotel in.
Sligo, proved that on the day before the election (Sun-
day) a sumptuous dinner was given at the Hibernia
to about 50 voters. The dinner commenced
about nine o'clock and after the cloth way
drawn fiddles were introduced. Drinking and
dancing were kep: up with great spirit till three o'clock
in the morning, when the party sat down to a very sub-
stantial beefsteak breakfast. The doors of the hotel
were guarded, and none of the party were allowed
to leave till they went to vote, later in the
morning. The bill amounted to 501., but he could not
speak to the payment of 25/. The priest was present at
the dinner, but retired before the dancing commenced.
Other witnesses gave similar evidence, and the Com-
mittee adjourned.
