ELECTION COMMIT TEE3—This Day.

HEREFORD.

The members of this committee, consisting of Admiral
Duncombe (chairman), Mr. G. H. Bentinck, the Hon. A. F.
Egerton, Mr. G. Hodgkinson, and Mr. A. Russell.
There were two petitions ; the first against Mr. Baggallay
met to-day, alleging bribery, treating, and undue influence,
and praying that his name should be erased from the re-
turn, and that of Colonel Clifford substituted.
The other petition was against the return, emanated
from some of the electors, and alleged bribery, undue in-
fluence, and intimidation.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Macnamara appeared
for the petition against Mr. Baggallay; and that gentleman
was represented by Mr. H. Cooke, Q.C., Mr. Giffard, Q.C.,
and Mr. H. James. _ _

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine opened his case, and informed
the committee that it was very probable the present in-
quiry would occupy a considerable portion of their time.
It appeared that Hereford had returned Liberal members
since the passing of the Reform Bill with one exception,
which occurred more than 20 years ago, in the return of
Mr. Burr, a Conservative. The borough was decidedly
Liberal for several years, and had become nj ore so
lately. Both Mr. Clive and Colonel Clifford had re-
presented the borough for several years, and the former,
who had landed property in the neighbourhood, succeeded
his father in the representation. Mr. Baggallay was an
eminent member of the Chancery bar, but was unknown to
the electors of Hereford. It appeared that in 1858 a gen-
tleman named Garrold, a solicitor, went to reside at Here-
ford, and endeavoured to embus the 1,100 registered ♦oters
of that borough with Conservative principles. This gen-
tleman took a most active part in the proceedings through-
out, and was assisted in his endeavours by three subor-`
dinates, named Baylis, Ralph, and Stevens. Mr. Garrold
was the admitted agent of Mr. Baggalkiy, and the principal
medium of dispensing the money, which he would prove
was expended to a considerable amount in promoting the
return of Mr. Baggallay, against whom he was happy to
state there was no personal imputation on that gentleman
in respect to corrupt practices that unquestionably pre-
vailed. It had been said that the Carlton Club was mixed
up with the promotion of the return of Mr. Baggallay,
but he had no instructions to that effect, and it appeared
that the latter gentleman came to Hereford under the wing
of Mr. Garrold. The numbers on the day of polling were
for Mr. Baggallay, 510 ; Mr. Clive, 499 ; and Colonel
Clifford, 483. The learned counsel then proceeded to
state that he would be able to prove no lees than 40 cases
of bribery on the part of those acting as agents and sub-
agents of Mr. Baggally.
Some witnesses were then called, who spoke to specific
acts of bribery and treating.
