SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY (EXTENSION
OF TIMEI BILL.
This bill was read a second time.
GALWAY ELECTION.
Mr. ROEBUCK. presented a petition from the freeman
of Galway relative to the motion for the introduction
of
a bill for disfranchising them on the ground of bribery,
in which the petitioners prayed that equal justice might
be extended to all who had been guilty of bribery. The
petition then proceeded to state that the evidence
taken before the commission went to show that
Lord Clanricarde, lieutenant of the county, wa.
a party to the bribery at the elections for 1862 and 1857
by furnishing the money by which the electors were
bribed. That Sir T. Backe, M.P., deputy lord lieu-
tenant ; Dr. J. V. Browne, professor of Queen's Col-
lege ; Mr. o.Flaherty, Mr. T. Moore, justices of the
peace, and Mr. R. Carter, deputy clerk of the
peace, were also guilty of such practices as agents, and
the petition has expressed a hope that equal justice
would be done to all who had been guilty f any such
misconduct—the great as well as the small, the powerful
as well as the weak—the latter having received the
bribes which the others had paid to them. (Hear.)

both on your way to the castle, when there, and on

entire sympathy of the public with you ; and I

(Cheers.) The heath of the college are determined

most eminent legal authorities to the effect that
Col. Browne is equally amenable with every mem-

LIMERICK riLECTIONPETLTION AGAINST AfAJOIS

GAVIN.
The report current at the close of this election
has proved correct. Mr. Ball has lodged a petition
to unseat Major Gavin, on the ground of intimida-
tion and treating. This step is formally announced,
on the authority of a communication received at
Limerick from the petitioner himself. The length
of time that has elapsed since the election had led
Mr. Ball's friends to suppose that he did not in-
tend to dispute Major (avin's right to represent
Limerick ; but all doubt is now at an end, it seem!,
as evidence has been collected to support the
petition.
