ELECTION COMMITTEE.
(THIS DAY.)

CANTERBURY.

The Committee met this morning at half-past 11 o'clock.
The proceedings were commenced by Mr. Sergeant HEATH,
who proposed to put on the list of voters for Mr. Villiers the
name of Abraham James, he having been rejected on account
of his change of residence from Winshope to Harpledown.
After the formal evidence had been given of the identity of
the voter, the opposing Counsel made no objection, and the
vote was accordingly added to the poll.
Mr. TALBOT then proposed to insert the name of William
Gilbert in the poll-books, whose vote had been rejected on the
same ground. He called Alderman Brown of Canterbury,
who said he attended the booth No. 1 on behalf of Mr. Lush-
ington. He was there when Gilbert came up to poll ; but as'
he came up along with a number of the Blues, he thought he
was one, and he ( Mr. B.) objected to his vote. He asked him
whether he had not changed his residence since he was regis-
tered, and as he at once said he had, he,( Mr. B.) did not consider
it necessary any more questions should be put. There was con-
siderable laughter when the mistake was found out,--becauser
Alderman Cooper, who was for the Blues, was. trying all he
could to: get his vote admitted—so that it was a double mis-
take. Was quite certain that no questions were put by the
sub-Sheriff. . •

Mr. Ald. Cooper, called by Mr. Cockburn, gave the same
description of the mistake, but swore positively that the three
questions contained in the Reform Act were put to the voter by
the sub- Sheriff at the express request of Ald. Brown.
After the Learned Gentlemen had severally supported these
different statetnents the room was cleared. ,
When Counsel was called in the Chairman said the vote.
was allowed—thus again placing,the parties equal on the poll
Mr. Talbot was proceeding to make good the vote of J
Wood, when our Reporter left. •
