Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly bOO Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.

Great Yarmouth Election Commission,

GREAT YARMOUTH, OCt. 4.

After the despatch of the parcel yesterday John
Quinton, a sailmaker, on the register as Henry
Quinton, stated that he received £l5 at the last
election to vote for Brogden and Vanderbyl. He
received the money from Downing. He was offered
money to vote for Lacon and Goodson, but declined
it. In 1859 he had no vote.

John Francis, a twine spinner and ropemaker,
stated that he received £2O at Wright's. In 1859
he had no vote.

William Ling, who described himself as of no
trade or occupation, said he took no part in the elec-
tion. Tie was not aware that he was on the Con-
servative committee. He asked a few voters to
support the Conservatives in 1859: He heard that
there was a good deal of bribery going on on the
Liberal side, as Mr. Brogden was said to be very
rich. Among those who distributed money in 1859
were George King and a man named Randle. A
friend of witness's named Lowne, who had promised
Lacon and Stracey in 1859, was offered money by
Mr. W. T. Clarke (now dead) to vote for IVatkin
and Young, but he refused to break his word.
Charles Veale, a gardener, stated that he had £l5
to vote for Brogden and Vanderbyl. He received
the money from "Jones." _ _ _

Robert S. Archbold, a baker, stated that he re-
ceived £l5 at the "-Army and Navy" Tavern. He
was promised £lO -by Cooper a fortnight before
the election, but he would not vote on the Conser-
vative side. He told Mr. Livingston that he would
vote without money for Brogden and Vanderbyl.
He had £lO in 1859 to vote for Watkin and Young.
The money was put in his hat, which was left on
the counter.

Abel Ward Wrightman, a publican, said he had
£l5 from Charles Bunn. In 1859 he had no vote.
There was a committee-room at his house. The bill,
which amounted to £9 or £lO, was paid by Mr. W.
C. Reynolds. Various persons came to the rooms
who were voters. Dr. Harmer and Mr. Diver used
the rooms. Bunn and J. Hammond were frequently
there. He could not give the names of the voters
to whom Rivett gave money. Rivett attended the

rooms.

Mr. J. IL Harrison, recalled, deposed that he did
not give a list to Cooper ; he only mentioned names
incidentally in conversation. Among the names he
gave were Charles Botwright and William Smith.
He was fully aware that during the past 15 years
Cooper had been engaged in bribery. Botwright
was a bad man, and had taken bribes before. He
came to witness and said he was sorry for what he
had done on previous occasions, and that he would
not take money again. Witness understood him
and said nothing. A man named Wm. Smith told
witness what he wanted, when he lectured him on
the impropriety of his conduct. (A. laugh.) Smith
got nothing out of witness.
Daniel Larke, a tailor, stated that he bad £2O at
the " Army and Navy" Tavern. He was offered
£l5 by Cooper, but did not take it. That was be-
fore he received an offer from the Liberal party, to
which he belonged.. He should have voted for
Brogden and Vanderbyl without the £2O. In 1859
he had no vote.

Joseph Wright, a fishcurer, stated that he had £2O
at his own house. He received the money from
Mr. Shattock to vote for the Liberals.

Edward Wright, a beachman, stated that he had
£l5 at his own house. Newman, the tailor, gave
him the money to vote for the Liberals. In 1859
he had no vote.

Edward Crewe, a coal porter, said he had £lO
from Cooper to vote for the Conservatives. In
1859 he had no vote.

Henry Soanes said he had received £2O at Wright's
to vote for the Liberals. Ile had also £2O from
Watson to vote for the Conservatives, and he voted
for Lacon and goodson. lie took the £2O from the
Liberals, because he had not then made up his
mind for whom he should vote. In 1859 he was
not on the register.
Mr. Russell—lt is a great pity you had a vote in
1856. (Laughter.)
Thomas H. Clements, a publican, said he had
received £2O at Thompson's, and he was sent there
by Edward's, the tailor. lie was offered £l5 by
Blyth, a painter, to vote for the Conservatives, but
he refused it. He should not have vote d for the
Liberals.

George Burton, a fisherman, said he received £lO
from E. R. Edwards to vote for the Liberals. He
received no offer from the Conservatives. In 1859
he had no vote.
Thomas W. Moss, a beachman, stated that he had 1,
£l5 " off " Nockolds. He was offered £25 by a ,
stranger to vote for Brogdeu and Vanderbyl ; he'
refused the money as he had pledged his word on the
other side. In 1859 he had no vote. If nomoney had
been offered he should have voted for the Liberals.
Any man was his man. (Laughter.)
Mr. J. Clowes, solicitor, who was appointed the
legal agent for the Liberals, stated with regard to the
payments by him to Savory, of the Steam Packet
Hotel, that Savory's rooms were hired, by a signed
agreement, for £l2 125.. Witness denied that he
had paid Savory £2 more than he bad asked. The
contract was entered into between him and Savory
before he was appointed agent. He never inquired
what Savory's politics were with regard to the elec-
tion itself. Witness was present at the meeting at
which Mr. Marsham determined to retire. Although
the negotiation for a compromise failed, Mr. Brog-
den
resolved to go to the poll when he had found a
colleague in the room of Mr. Marshman, although
it was seen that the election could not be won by
illegal means. When Messrs. Brogden and Marsh-
man were invited to stand, witness wrote to Mr. E.
Watkin, who had previously been askedto come for- I
ward, requesting him to fully explain to them the
corrupt state of the borough. He was not cognisant
of the manner in which money was spent. He
deeply regretted the manner in which Mr. Brog-
den had been fleeced of his money, which had been
given away without any system, to whoever
asked for it. As to Cooper's and other state-
ments with respect to Messrs. Mellor and Young
furnishing £1,500 for their unopposed election
in 1857, it was not true. They never spent anything,
except in legal expenses. It was not true, also, that
money had been brought down in oyster barrels to
carry Watkin's and M'Cullagh's election in 1857.
When witness sent in the accounts to the returning
officer (Mr. Steward), he said " Clowes, why did
you not send in your accounts in a more handsome
way ? Why, Reynolds (the Conservative agent) has
sent the accounts four times as much as yon." (A
laugh.) The legitimate expenses of a candidate for
Yarmouth might be brought down to £3OO. Wit-
ness had known the expenses to be as low as £lBO.
J. T. Trosdick stated that his brother, Christmas
Trosdick, a fisherman, now at sea, had £l5 at the
last election to cover his expenses. Witness received
a ticket for his brother at the " Angel." His brother
was away on a mackerel voyage, and witness wrote
to him and told him he would receive some " sugar."
Mr. B. Powell,. a fish merchant, stated that he
took but a little part in the last election. Ile gave
one man, however—Daniel Carter—either £l6 or
£lB. Carter said he took the money, not as a bribe,
but as compensation for his lost time, and that
was not paid he should not vote at all, but she
to sea again. Witness had the money which lie gave
id i f
goto Carter. from Mr. J. Lummis, a Conservative sub-
agent. He bribed no other person. He never spoke
to a man named Thomas French, of King-street,
about his vote. French always supported the Con-
servatives. He never spoke to a man named John
King, of the South-quay, about his vote, or to an-
other voter named John Lott, or to William Borling,
a tobacconist. All witness's friends supported the
Conservatives without getting even so much as a glass
of gin for doing so. (A laugh.) Witness had "done"
a little in his time, but not much. He gave some
money away at ,the election of 1859. Ile bribed

PRICE.... 4d.
STAMPED sd.

James Haylett (since dead), Henry Browne, and
James Turrell. He gave Haylett £l5, and the
same sum to Henry Browne.
The Chief Commissioner said Brown did not ap-
pear to have voted at all in 1859.

Witness said the man had £l5, nevertheless ; so
had Turrell. Witness received the money which he
paid away in 1859 from Mr. W. Green. He had no
more than £45 from Mr. Green. He did not recol-
lect " doing" anything at the election of 1857. He
did not receive any money from Mr. Green then.
He never heard that Mr. Green had any money at
that election. Lummis never told him how much
money he received for distribution in 1865, or to
whom he had given money.

Robert Barnard, a mariner, engaged in looking after a
floating light vessel, said he received £lO at the last elec-
tion. He was paid the £lO at Mr. Fill's office. He went
there with Cotton—a man engaged in attending to another
floating light. Witness was sent to Mr. Fill by Mr. Clowes,
solicitor. He and Cotton had made out a bill, and Mr.
Clowes told them to go to Fill's to be paid. Tho money
was paid for expenses on shore. Mr. Brogden told witness
that he should be paid his expenses, as witness and Cotton
said they should not otherwise stop on shore. Mr. G. Moore
paid witness and Cotton the money at Mr. Fill's office.
Fill himself was not present. Had witness not remained
on shore ho would have had charge of the Lemon and Ower
light vessel ; in his absence he had to pay other men to
assist him, and he had only £6 Os. 6d. left out of the £lO.
His wages went on as usual during his absence. Two or
three other men received money in the same way as wit-
ness. One of them was named Win. Miller ; John Robin-
son was another, and Wm. Littlewood another. Fill asked
witness what his expenses would be when on shore, and
whether £lO would cover everything. Witness said that
it would. Witness was canvassed by Sir E. Lacon and
Mr. Goodson, but declined to vote for them. Both Sir E.
Lacon and Mr. Goodson wanted to detain witness on shore
Witness understood that his expenses would be paid. He
should not have remained on shore to vote for anybody
without payment of his expenses ; he could not afford to

so.
Mr. Fitzgerald—Do you consider that the £6 which you
put in your pocket was a bribe or not ?
Witness—Well, I cannot say ; I leave that to you, gen-
tlemen. I took no part in the election of 1859. I had no
vote then.

Henry James Butcher, a general commission agent, de-
nied
that he had received any money for his vote at the last
election. He received £lO from Mr. Fowler, but it was for
the use of his rooms in the market place. His rooms were
used for electioneering purposes. They were engaged from
the 20th of June to the 10th of July. There were two
rooms. While they were let he used them as he liked. Mr.
Fowler and others came to the rooms. Witness voted for
Brogden and Vanderbyl ; he promised them his support as
soon as they came to the town. There were Liberal com-
mittee-rooms on the opposite side of the market-place, and
within 20 yards. Witness paid £3o' a year for his house,
and lot off part for £2O. Witness was canvassed by Mr.
Goodson, but refused to support him. Witness voted for
Watkin and Laftn in 1859.

Mr. Russell said he was put down in the poll-book as
having voted for Lacon and Stracey.
Witness said he believed he voted for Watkin and Lacon.
Ile received no inducement to influence his vote in 1859, nor
did he let his rooms then. (Laughter) He paid £3O a year
for his house, but it was assessed at £9 10s. Upon his oath
he paid £3O a year rent.
Mr. Russell—lf you believe that, I do not.
Robert Johnson, a carpet warehouseman, said be received
nothing for his vote at the last election, but did not vote
at all.

Mr. Fitzgerald said he thought there must have been some
mistake made as to this witness. Somebody appeared to
have drawn money in his name.
Witness thought so too. He was a Liberal in politics,
but abstained from voting out of regard for Sir E. Lacon,
both at the last election and in 1859.

Peter Adamson, a fishcurer, stated that he received 1.5 at
the last election from a stranger at the Angel. He was told
to go to the Angel by Miles Juler. He understood it was
for his day's wages.
John Davies, a lodging-house keeper, stated that he re-
ceived £2O for his vote at the last election. He received the
money at the "Army and Navy" Tavern. .A. ti Act was given
to him by Mr. T. Pox, a builder. In 1859 he had ao vote.
Henry Bamblidge, a jeweller, stated that he received £l5
for his vote at the last election f►om G. Humphreys, of
Gaol-street. The money was given to him to induce him
to vote for the Liberals. Ho received nothing from the
other party. In 1859 ho had no vote. _ _

Wiliian;Balls, a publican, deniedthat he had been bribed
at the last election ;he did not vote. He was canvassed,
and he promised that he should not vote on either side.
(Laughter.) He never took a farthing as a bribe in his life.
He voted in 1859 and 1857.

,Yr. Fitzgerald said somebody Lad drawn £l5 of Mr.
Brogden's money in this witness's name.

Thomas Daffell; a greengrocer of George-street, said lie
received £l5 at the " Angel" at the last election. Ho did
not know who pail him. He was not offered money on the
Conservative side, but was canvassed by Sir E. Lacon. In
1859 he had no vote.
Mr..l. Mainprice, a wine and spirit merchant, said he
took but little part in the last election. Ile did not canvass.
He attended some committee meetings at the " Angel" just
before the election. He was anxious that a contest should
be avoided if possible. He had taken an active part in pre-
vious elections, and was anxious that similar scenes should
be avoided in future. If a contest took place he foresaw that
bribery would have to bo resorted to. He did not attend any
meeting at the " Angel" at which the question of bribery
was discussed. He signed, he believed, the requisition in-
viting Messrs. Brogden and Marsham to come forward.
Witness knew nothing of the ticket system, but could not
shut his eyes to the fact that bribery was carried on at the
last election. At the election of 1859 ho kept the canvass-
book for the Liberals, and he would now hand it in. Some
money also passed through his hands in 1859. He was sent
for to the "Star" two or three days before that election. He
left his greatcoat in one of the rooms at•the "Star" Hotel,
and then went into another room, where there were several
of the heads of the Liberal party. On coming out again he
found something very heavy in his coat pocket--parcels of
gold. (Laughter.) The parcels passed from his hands to
those of Mr. C. Steward. Witness was rather annoyed at
the use which had been made of him, but was prevailed
upon to take the parcels to his own house. He never knew
the value of the parcels. He purposely avoided inquiring.
Ile afterwards received some other parcels at his house a
few days before the election. Witness had an impression
that Mr. H. Hammond was present at the " Star" at the
time, but he had since stated that he was not. Some
strangers were present at the ".Star" on the occasion in
question. Mr. Livingston received from witness a part
of the money entrusted to him. The money all passed
through the hands of Mr. Steward and Mr. Livingston.
The cash was tied up in wash-leather bags. Each parcel
probably contained from £4OO to £5OO. Witness received
other money in paper and cash by private hands. He
never know the amount, except as a matter of guesswork.
He also received three cheques drawn by Mr. A. W.
Young, one of the Liberal candidates. They were upon
a London bank, and were payable to bearer, but witness
did not know their amounts. Two of the cheques he
gave to Mr. Livingston ; the other he destroyed in the
presence of Mr. Young. Witness had discussed the pro-
spects of the 1859 election with Messrs. Watkin and
Young. He had no reason to think that the sum which
he found in his coat pocket came exclusively from Mr.
Watkin. His opinion was that the Liberal candidates in
1859 shared the expenses equally, but he purposely kept
himself himself ignorant on the subject. Ho believed that at belection of 1859 bribery commenced two or threeha

but be had no
direct knowledge on the subject. The Libe-
rals had, however,
a majority of promises; and ho believed
h
t very little in 1857. It was reported that the
Conservatives spent money in 1857, but if a contrary state-
ment had been made he bad no means of contradicting it.
No proposition was mode to him at the Star before the elec-
tion of 1859 that he should take the money away ; had such
a proposition been made to him he should have declined it.

away, but he afterwards gave way to the
influence of the gentlemen present. Ho could not say who
the gentlemen were. Ile was sent for to the Star on
"urgent business," but he afterwards found that this was
a mere pretext, and that what ho was really wanted for
was to take money away to Mr. C. Steward, who was
known to be an active partisan.
Thomas Coleman, a cab proprietor, of St. George's-road,
stated that he had £2O from George Watson to vote for the
Conservatives. He received no other bribe. In 1859 he
had no vote.

Thomas Bee, a shoemaker, who gave his evidence with
much solemnity, denied receiving a bribe. He voted for
