ELECTION COMMITTEES —This Day.

CAMBRIDGE.

The members of this committee, consisting of
Mr. Lowe (Chairman), Mr. J. D. Coleridge, Sir J.
Fergusson, Mr. G. Goldney, and Lord Henley, as-
sembled for the first time this morning.
There were three petitions, two of which had been
withdrawn, and the present inquiry had reference
solely to the petition of Colonel Torrens against the
return of Mr. William Dougal Christie, who had
been elected for the borough, on the ground that his
election was null and void, inasmuch as he was dis-
qualified by holding the situation of standing coun-
sel to the Secretary of State for India.
Mr. Vernon Harcourt, Q.C., Mr. Fitzjames
Stephens, and Mr. Chandos Leigh were counsel for
the petitioner, who was an unsuccessful candidate
at the last election ; and Mr. Hope Scott, Q.C., Mr.
Mellish, and Mr. Cooke for the sitting member.
Mr. Vernon Harcourt opened the case. He said
that the present inquiry differed materially from
those questions which election committees had to
determine, and there would be no reference to
,4 wolves" or " lambs." The sole question to try
was one of constitutional law, and was to be decided
according to the Gth of Queen Anne, the spirit and
meaning of which were to exclude persons holding
certain Crown appointments from occupying
seats in Parliament, and if, as he expected, he
would be able to establish that the office
held by Mr. Forsyth, inasmuch as he was
indirectly the adviser of the Crown, through
the Secretary of State for India, was one of those
that disqualified him according to the statute to
which he referred. At the last election for Cam-
bridge there were four candidates, including his
client, Mr. Powell, Mr. Forsyth, and Mr. Christie,
and Mr. Powell and Mr. Forsyth were the success-
ful candidates. A notice was duly affixed on the
walls of the borough stating that Mr. Forsyth was
ineligible, and after that notice it was quite useless
it?,:;aAldnsBcVsfteBfirr!ed
to record any votes on his behalf. By the 21st and

year, and he contended that, as he advised the
Crown de facto, it was evident that he was one of
those officials who were excluded from Parliament
according to the statute of Anne. The learned
counsel then proceeded to define the distinction
between those holding office from the Crown and
those holding office under the Crown, which latter
alone were exeluded from Parliament, and to which
he argued Mr. Forsyth belonged. He then cited
the decision of Hallam and other eminent authori-
ties on constitutional law in support of his argu-
ments, _ _ _

The committee will reassemble on Monday.

REIGATE.

The committee, which assembled yesterday for
the first time, resumed its sitting this morning.
The petitioner, Mr. Monson, was the unsuccessful
candidate for the borough at the last election, and
alleged bribery, undue influence, and treating
against Mr. Leveson Gower, the sitting member.
The first allegation was the only one with which it
was proposed to connect Mr. Gower personally,
and in support of it several witnesses were called.
The counsel for Mr. Leveson-Gower having —con-
sidered that the evidence was too strong to be re-
sisted,

Mr. Leveson-Gower was examined at his own re-
quest, and denied that he had in any way been
guilty of bribery.

The committee decided that the case of bribery,
through his agents, was proved against Mr. Gower,
who is accordingly unseated.

NOTTINGHAM.
Mr. Murdoch, Q.C., counsel for the petitioner,
who commenced yesterday his reply on the whole
case, resumed this morning
At the close of the learned counsel's address the
committee retired for a short time to consider the
course to be pursued in reference to the petition
against Mr. Morley's return.
The committee will not declare their decision in
the case of Sir Robert Clifton until the close of the
