IFEST2IIINSTER ILLEC7 ION PETITION.

THIS DAY.

The bearing of the petition against Mr. W. 11. Smith
was resumed this morning before Mr. Baron Martin, in
the Court of Exchequer.
Mr. Bennett, being examined by Mr. Fitzjames Stephen,
said ho was the principal secretary of the London
and Westminster Working Mon's Constitutional Associa-
tion. When Dayman returned the canvass-book to him
ho made tables showing the results of them. The tables
so made were returned to Mr. Smith's central committee.
Ho know Mr. Smith personally, but he had had no
private conversation with him respecting the election.
Mr. Smith did not subscribe to the association during the
past twelve months. He subscribed .£5O in March, 1868,
and £lO some time before. The association bad £2O in
hand at present, but as more than that sum was due to
him as secretary, they had practically no available
funds.

By Baron Martin—Part of the committee rooms wore
closed after the election.

Examination continueu—m, /tr. smith's solici-
tor, subsl:ribed £3O. Captain Armstrong, who was an
agent for Mr. Smith, gave £25, and Mr. Malcolm, who
acted as agent, subscribed £5. There wore also subscrip-
tions of £5 each from Mr. J. S. Pakington, Mr. Stephen
Lewis, and Dlr. Charles Freeman, all of whom were
on the committee. Mr. Cubitt, the vice-chairman of
Mr. Smith's committee, subscribed £lO ; Mr. Watney,
£lO ; Mr. Lethbridge (Mr. Smith's partner), £lO ; Sit
William Farquhar, £5 ; Mr. J. L. Elliott, a guinea ; and
the Duke of Manchester two guineas. With the exception
of the Duke of Manchester they were all members of the
committee, and the amount subscribed by them and others
in January and February was £l3 Bs., of which only 2s.
came from working men.

Baron Martin (addressing Mr. Stephen)-11 OAr long do
you think this case will last ?
Mr. Stephen—My lord, I am quite in the dark about it.
Baron Martin—Yes, I know that, and that is why I ask
you.
Mr. Stephen—This gentleman in the box will probably
finish to-day. That is all I can say about it.
The court adjourned at the usual hour.
