STAMPED sd.

James Ilaylett (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 ho 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. The money
was paid foi 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 he 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 'Wm. 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 ho 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 let off part for £2O. Witness was canvassed by Mr.
Goodson, but refused to support him. Witness voted for
Watkin and Lacon in 1859.

Mr. Russell said ho was put down in the poll-book as
having voted for Lacon and Stracey.
Witness said he believed he voted for Watkin and Lacon.
Ho 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
ho paid .£3O a year rent.
Mr. Russell—lf you believe that, Ido not.
Robert Johnson, a carpet warehouseman, said he 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 iu his name.
Witness thought so too. lie 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, statod that he received £5 a

the last election from a stranger at the Angel. lie was told
to go to the Angel by Miles Juler. Ho understood it was
for his day's wages.
John Davies, a lodging-house keeper, stated that he re-

cPived .E2O for his vote at the last election. He received the
money at the "Army and Navy" Tavern. A ticket was given
to hitu by Mr. T. Fox, a builder. In 1859 be had no vote.
Henry Barubt idge, a jeweller, stated that he received ,£l5
for his vote at the last election from G. Humphreys, of
Gaol-street. The money was given to him to induce him
to vote for the Liberals. He received nothing from the
other party. In 1839 he had no vote.
William Balls, a publican, denied that he had been bribed
at the last election ;ho did not vote. He was canvassed,

and lie promised that he should not vote on either side,
(Laughter.) Ile never took a farthing as a bribe in his life,
Ile voted in 1859 and 1857. _ _ _

Ir. Fitzgerald said somebody bad drawn £l5 of Mr.
Brogdon's money in this witness's name.
Thomas Daffell, a greengrocer of George-street, said ho
received £l5 at the " Angel" at the last election. He 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. J. Mainprice, a wino 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. Ho had taken au 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 be 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 he 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. a 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. Ho never knew
the value of the parcels. He purposely avoided inquiring.
He 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 knew the amount, except as a matter of guesswork.
He also received throe 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
t
1859 shared the expenses equally, but ho purposely ktoPe
himself ignorant on the subject. He believed that at ilelection of 1859 bribery commenced two or threea .

that they
Conservatives spent money in 1857, but if a contrary state-
ment had been made lip had no means of contradicting it.
No proposition was made to him at the Star before the elec-
tion of 1859 that ho should take the money away ; had such
a proposition been made to him he should have declined it.
He returned to the second
take the money away, but ho afterwards gave way to the
influence of the gentlemen present. He could not say who
the gentlemen were. He was sent for to the Star on
" urgeht 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 Le
had no vote.
Thomas Bee, a shoemaker, who gave his evidence with
much Solemnity, denied receiving a bribe, He voted for

Lacon and Goods
way by Toiler, to
voted for the Libe:
political opinions underwent a change, 11.3 did not approve
of the conduct of the Liberals in Parliament. He thought
them insincere, and that although profess redly Liberal their
actions showed them to be most illiberal. (A laugh.) He
voted for the Liberals in 1857. He did not tell Mr. Watkin
in 1859 that he had been engaged as a clerk at a previous
election and had not been paid.
Henry Gooch, a grocer, stated that he received £l5 from
a stranger at the Angel. He was sent there by T. Fox, a
builder. In 1859 he had no vote.
Thomas E. Grey, at{ ironmonger, of King-st•teet, denied
that he had received a bribe. He voted for Lacon and
Goodson. He thought some mistake had been made in
summoning him.
Thomas Gooch, a beer-shop keeper, stated that he had
received £l5 at the Army and Navy Tavern- He was
taken there by Mr. T. Fox. In 1859 he voted for the Libe-
rals, Messrs. Watkin and Young. He had always been a
Liberal.
Stephen Bayfield, a fishcurer, deposed that ho had
"fifteen" at the Angel at the last election. Ile went to the
Angel of his own accord, as he heard money was going
there. He always voted for the Liberals, and should have
supported them last year without the .£l5. He voted for,
the Liberals in 1859. He took £7 then. from a man named.
Henry King. He was always a Liberal in principle, but
he took the money because ho wanted it very much.
(Laughter.) In 1859 he had also £8 from Downing, who.
then bribed for the Conservatives ; be told Downing, how-,
ever, at the time that ho should not support him. He was
, not bribed on both sides in 1865.
The inquiry was proceeding when tho parcel was dis-
patched.
