ELECTIOX P.ETITIONS.

The wt election petition Is stir: engaging the
attention of Mr. Baron Martin. One of Mr. Smith'y
canvassers was called, and gave evidence as to the letting
of the boards. He declared that he never hired board
room on the understanding that the letter should vote
for Smith, but he admitted he himself had done a bit of
business on his own account ; that he had paid £6 10s.
to the makers of the boards, and had charged Mr.
Smith £8 Gs. for them. Mr. Walker, the landlord of
the public-house where it was alleged Mr. Smith bad stood
champagne, came forward and swore he had "stood the
liquor" himself for the occasion. He had done the like
when the Belgians came to his house with volunteers, am%
would do it again, "like a man." He never told anybod3
Ithat Smith would pay for the champagne, and this was
utterly untrue. A large number of other men were
called who denied being influenced by corrupt intentions
in the bargains that were made in relation to the election.
Baron Martin interposed on its being proposed to call
others, and said all this kind of evidence was worthless.
The testimony of men speaking as to what was in their
minds when they transacted something months ago was
as nothing, and all the evidence which was now being
adduced would not be a feather in the scale. It was not
to be expected that men would say that they were
influenced in giving their votes by being paid for exhibiting
the boards.
At Coventry the defence has commenced. The peti-
tioners have abandoned the allegations of intimidation and
undue influence, and rely upon the various cases of bribery
and treating. Messrs. Eaton and Hill, the sitting mem-
bers, were examined. Mr. Eaton said he gave most posi-
tive instructions that no illegal practices whatever should
be resorted to. No expenses had been paid other than
those returned. He had no knowledge of any corrupt
practices, and, of course, never sanctioned any. Mr. Hill
and he repeatedly spoke of the Leicester voters.
He told Mr. Seymour, having a majority of
160, that the Leicester voters were unnecessary.
Instructions were given to Mr. Seymour that those
voters should not receive any money or refreshment,
or be paid for any expenses. He did not believe that those
voters received a single sixpence. With regard to Mr.
Hill, there were some strange banking transactions which
were hardly sufficiently explained, and which excited the
suspicion of Mr. Justice Willes. With regard to the other
matters, Mr. Staveley Hill said that every claim in con-
nection with his candidature early in 1868 had been dis-
charged by the first week in July of that year. In
reference to the conveyance of the voters from Leicester
in Mr. Eaton's carriage, distinct orders were given that
they should neither be taken up nor set down near a
public-house. During the whole of the election witness
never saw a glass of beer drunk under improper circum-

stances.
Cashel is likely to obtain fresh celebrity from the dis-
closures on the trial of the election petition. It is not, of
course, to be assumed that all is as true as Gospel which is
stated in evidence. That would be paying a poor compli-
ment to the inventive faculties of the witnesses, or their
gratitude for favours past and future. But enough has
transpired to make it pretty clear that elections have been
conducted upon a scale of splendour worthy of the ancient
glories of the place. Some of the witnesses produced
seemed more disposed to attribute liberality of treatment
to the petitioner than to the sitting member, and
singular instances of generosity were related re-
specting both. Among those examined was Mr.
Grace, the conducting agent of Mr. O'Beirne,
who produced the accounts which had been sent to
him. They included such items as these :—James Dunne,
£lO6 ; Edward Cavanagh, £lO for election services ;
Patrick Dwyer, £lO for canvassing ; David Ryan, £lO for
canvassing ; Mary Glasgow, £3 "for governing forty
women during the election." In a letter which
was read in evidence she gave the following
account of her services :—" She spent night and
day in ruling the women during six weeks. Shook
hands with the honourable gentleman. kept loyal
and true during the whole time. ller exertions during
that time had thrown her rather backward in health."
Two women, named Tracey and Roche, gave contradictory
evidence, and when confronted each stoutly maintained
that what the other stated was false. The former swore
that she never saw any cheques in the possession of her
husband, who is keeping out of the way. The latter
swore that Tracey told her that Mr. O'Beirne had trusted
her husband with money, and that she produced a box
containing cheques and notes, one of which, for £5O, she
chewed her, and said it was for two of her friends, at
the same time offering Roche £3O for her husband's vote.
On cross-examination she stated that her husband, who
is a carpenter, got £5 ss. for making a little " bin "
for Mr. Munster, and that she sold Mr. Munster feathers
in a tick. She indignantly denied that her husband had
received any bribe, and, jealous of the honour of her
family, remarked that " it was not in her blood to take
anything disgraceful." The case for the petitioner closed
with a statement of objections to several voters whom
Mr. Butt sought to bare struck off, on the ground tha
they were disqualified.
