Mr. V Bignold, a magistrate of Norwich, deposed to the fact
of Pilgrim's hailing been brought before him and examined
touching the charges made against him. The whole of the pro-
ceedings adopted with respect to Pilgrim were in accordance
with what the magistrates conceived to be proper, and had no
reference whatever to the proceedings before this Commit-
tee ; had no communication whatever with the sitting Mem-
bers during the whole time.
Cross-examined by Mr. HlLL—Within ten minutes after
Pilgrim was brought before witness, he heard of the Chairman
of the Committee's warrant against Pilgrim ; bail to any
amount was offered for Pilgrim on Thursday, being the day on
which he was arrested ; refused to take bail ; the magistrates
were ready to take bail, and would have done so but for the service
of the rule nisi for the habeas corpus : when that was served,
the Magistrates, acting under the advice of Mr. Beckwith, the
town clerk, refused to take bail ; Mr. Beckwith was a Tory,
and was agent to Lord Stormont and Mr. Scarlett at the
last Norwich election. _ _

—To Mr. Fitzsimon—The magistrates knew on the Thursday
that Pilgrim was wanting by the Committee, but it never oc-
curred to them to go on quickly with the proceedings on
Friday, in order that bail might be taken, and that Pilgrim
might be taken before the Committee.

To Mr. Campbell---The town-clerk was of opinion that we
should not be justified in giving Pilgrim up to be examined
before this Committee.

To the CHAIRMAN-Had no doubt of the powers of the
magistrates to take bail. Bail would have been taken for
Pilgrim, but for the service of the rule nisi.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS here observed that the witness, and his
brother magistrate Mr. Booth, would have been unable to
make any return to the rule that had been served on them,
bad they given up Pilgrim.
CHAIRMAN—But my question relates to an interval between
the arrest of Pilgrim and the service of the rule nisi upon the
magistrates.

To Mr. Burton—We did not think that we had a right to
consider the question of bail until we had closed the proceed-
ings against Pilgrim.
Mr. CHAPMAN-And although you knew that Pilgrim was
wanted for the purpose of giving evidence before this Com-
mittee, yet you never thought it worth while to proceed with
his examination to a final close on the Friday.
Witness—We did not think that there was any thing in
the matter to induce us to go out of our usual course upon
the occasion._

----To Mr. Chapman—lt was not very usual to have 10,0001.
bail offered for an affair about 101.
Mr. KELLY said, that with the last witness closed the evi-
dence which he had to bring forward upon this occasion ; and
he had now to congratulate himself and the Committee upon
the near
i approach of the termination of this painful and pro-
tracted inquiry. He would have to draw largely upon their
indulgence, while he endeavoured to divide the subjects which
occupied their attention, many of which were collateral to the
question which they had really to try ; and were he not aware
of the great attention which they had paid to every matter
that had been brought under their consideration, he should
despair of being able successfully to perform the task which
he had taken upon himself to execute. It was absolutely ne-
cessary, for the sake of public justice, that each distinct in-
quiry should be separately considered, and that the Committee
should come to a final conclusion. Numerous questions aris-
ing out of what had taken place since the election had been
introduced into this inquiry, which had the effect of throwing
around those proceedings a thick veil of prejudice ; and
unless a stern sense of justice pervaded the breasts of every
member of the Committee, he frankly confessed that he
felt it would be a hopeless task to attempt to make any
impression upon them. Before he proceeded further, he
begged to say that he would but ill discharge his duty to
Mr. Dundas, to himself, to the law, to the House of Com-
mons, and to public justice, if he did not protest against
the proceedings which had taken place before the Committee
for the last ten days. Although at the outset he declared that
all he asked from the Committee was justice, he would at the
same time pray—nay, demand of them that they would come
to the consideration of the important question before them
with as little of previous impression as was possible ; for, with-
out doing this, they would be unable to do justice between man
and man. He made this request because it was impossible for
them to shut their eyes to the fact, that Mr. Pilgrim was
ushered before this Committee in a most unusual manner ; for
the Learned Counsel, Mr. Hill, said he would be able to prove
three or four conspiracies—who were to be implicated in them
he did not say—and his speech was reported in every news-
paper in town agreeing with him in politics. With these facts
before them—with the knowledge that Mr. Hill reiterated
these charges--backed as he had been by an applauding mul-
titude, in that room, declaring that he (Mr. Kelly) was deeply
implicated--considering also that the Committee were told
that the public aye was upon them, and that they were bound
to do their duty fearlessly, and without favour or affection, was
it possible that they could come to a sound or satisfactory con-
clusion, unless they called forth all their resolutions to be
guided by a strict and stern sense of justice in the duty which
they were called upon to perform ? He contended that the
exaggerated statements of counsel would not be sustained by
the evidence which had been adduced, and said that the evi-
dent object of those statements was to draw the public atten-
tion to the proceedings of the Committee, with a view of work-
log upon the Committee so that they might overlook the trifling
circumstances which they really had to try, and be would
deny that the borough of Ipswich was amongst those bo-
roughs that were guilty of bribery to such an extent that
its rottenness was manifest, and that it was impossible,
from the circumstances of the case, that the sitting Members
could not be duly elected. He would, however, say with
confidence, that if the Committee were guided by the law of
evidence, and if they confined their attention to the facts
proved in evidence, it would be impossible that they could
come to any other conclusion than that the sitting Members
were duly elected; and although other persons in their indis-
creet zeal might be guilty of acts that implicated them in
improper proceedings, yet that nothing had been proved that

THE " SECRET" INVESTIGATION.
Sir F. A. Roe this morning resumed his private inquiry,
unaided by the presence of any individual, civil or military,
who has any knowledge of the localities here. He takes, I un-
derstand, the unsworn statement made by each witness as he
enters ; but for aught Sir F. Roe knows of the town, he might
as well enter into an examination of what occurred at Tim-
huctoo. There is no one by him to give him any clue what-
ever by which he can discern truth from falsehood. How far
an examination so taken will meet the wishes of the Noble
Lord the Home Secretary, who took to himself some merit
for a disposition to " have the whole affair sifted to the bot-
tom," I will not pretend to guess, but I can state as a matter
within my own knowledge, that it does not give satisfaction to
any party here, and as far as public feeling here is concerned
the object of the investigation will be completly defeated, un-
less, as many confidently expect, the application to Lord John
John Russell to throw the Court open shall be successful. I
mentioned this application yesterday, but had not time to copy
the letter to Lord J. Russell ; I now subjoin it.
The Magistrates here made a communication to Sir F. Roe
this morning, to the effect, that if he desired their attendance,
and wished to hear their statements, they would waive all per-
sonal considerations, and go before him. Sir F. Roe, in reply,
expressed his desire to bear their statements, and in the course
of the day they were all beard ; I cannot say " examined,"
for lam told that Sir F. Roe hears what each voluntarily
offers, and does not cross-examine. Indeed, how could he ?
Personally, he knows nothing of the matter, and, therefere, as
I said, he has no means of ascertaining hqw far what comes
before him may be true or false.
There are two parties here who have great reason to com-
plain, and complain loudly, against the course pursued by Sir
Frederick Roe—these are the magistrates and the military.
The Magistrates have been charged with a violation of the
Constitution, in directing unnecessarily the intervention of
the military, and the soldiers have been accused of wanton
cruelty in the execution of the duty imposed on them. The
changes have been rung on these charges in every Whig-
Radical paper, and now, when an opportunity offered of
clearing their characters, by a host of witnesses of unim-
peachable veracity, the testimony of those witnesses is sealed
up, and the public are to know nothing of the real facts
until they shall appear some six weeks hence in a folio
volume, " ordered to be printed by the House of Commons."
Sir F. Roe says, as I mentioned yesterday, that he will stand
on his " known character." Sir Frederick's estimate of his
character must be very high, and I am willing to admit that
up to this time it has not been higher than it deserved, but
the course he has now taken is so much at variance with the
ordinary notions of justice, that I fear if his character were
now to be justly estimated. while I should leave in, as before,
" the ingredients of a high sense of honour, and disposition to
do justice," I should certainly leave out that of " sound
judgment." He has contrived to give dissatisfaction to all
parties here.
Mr. Roaf's party have not sent in any witnesses to be ex-
amined, nor will they until they receive an answer to the ap-
plication made to the Home-office. The answer is expected
by to-morrow's mail, but the coach which takes this will have
gone before the London letters are delivered here. Sub-
joined I give the letters, which I had not time to copy yester-
day. The first is the last note of Mr. Roaf to Sir F. Roe,
and the next, the letter addressed by Mr. Roaf to Lord John
Russell :
" Peacock Inn, Quarter to Four o'Clock.
" Sir,—The gentlemen who were present at the passing of
the resolution which I have forwarded to you are Messrs.
Barker, Joseph Walker, T. R. Fryer, jun., W. Walker,
Bolton, Wynn, Sirnkiss, H. Walker, Hales, and myself, as
Chairman. I did not sign it because I considered that my
envelope would be tantamount to my signature at the foot
of the resolution itself. In your last note, as well as, in
that which crossed mine, just transmitted, you allude to an
arrangement which you had acceded to at my request to admit
myself, or any friend, to watch the progress of the proceed-
ings. I beg, however, to remind you that this was only part
of my request, which (from the memorandum in my hand
when I waited upon you) went to the length of asking that the
evidence might be sworn, and the hearing open. The swear-
ing of the witnesses we cheerfully gave up, because a satis-
factory objection to it had been offered, but the presence of the
reporters appears to myself and friends altogether unobjection-
able, and essential to a proper restraint upon the statements of
those who may be examined, and to every useful result to which
the inquiry should lead.
" I can now only allow myself to add, that both parties
profess equal regret and surprise that such a cause of obstruc-
tion should have been presented in the quarter to which we
both looked for a developement of the painful affray.
" I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
" Sir F. Roe, &c." " J. ROAF."

" Wolverhampton, June 5.
"My Lord,—l am exceedingly greived to have to lay before
your Lordship the accompanying documents, exhibiting Sir
F. Roe's refusal to allow that method of inquiring into the re-
cent affray in this town which alone can be satisfactory to the
people of the neighbourhood and the public at large. The
gentlemen with whom I have the honour to act, unanimously
feel surprised at Sir F. Roe's objection to publicity. Our
reason for wishing reporters to be present at the investigation
is, that our justification in the steps we have taken requires the
public exhibition of the whole case, and that the prospect of
publicity would restrain those who otherwise might tender false
evidence. I beg to inform your Lordship that my friends have
a large number of respectable witnesses waiting to furnish
your Commissioner with testimony of a decisive character. We
are, however, pressed in all quarters to maintain the view we
have taken, and not to give, directly or indirectly, any sanction
to a private hearing. I therefore write your Lordship to re-
quest, that besides some individuals on each side being Allowed
to be present during the investigation, the reporters from ti,:.
London press and the papers of the neighbourhood may be
allowed to take notes.
" I have the honour to be, &c.,
"To the Right Hon. Lord John Russell." "J. ROA F."
