which you think calls for explanation, I shall be
most happy to give them. (Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then asked if any gentleman had
any question to ask of their hon. member, or any
remarks to make. _ _ _ _ _ _

Captain MossmAN trusted that Sir Edward Cole-
brooke would continue to represent this great
county in the open, clear, and satisfactory manner
which had all along marked his conduct. (Cheers.)
He moved a resolution, conveying the thanks of the
meeting to Sir Edward for his address, and express-
ing their continued confidence in him as their re-
presentative in Parliament.
Mr. J. WILSON, Westsidewood, seconded the
adoption of the resolution, and alluded to the
honourable and straightforward manner in which
Sir Edward had conducted his career in Parlia-
ment.
Sir E. T. COLRBROORE returned thanks for the
manner in which they had expressed their confi-
dence in him. He felt most deeply the responsi-
bility of his position as the representative of this
great county, and he assured them that no exertion
should be wanting on his part to discharge his most
important duties in the most satisfactory way.
On the motion of Dr. GRAY a vote of thanks was
passed to the chairman, after which the proceed-
ings terminated.

devoutly respected. And not only does ' the Pope
assert this claim, but every ecclesiastic is t rained to
support it, and to insist upon its recognition as a
fundamental principle of unity with thc: Catholic
Church. It has thus happened that his. Holiness
has in his hands a vast organisation extending to
every corner of the Continent, influential with ali
classes of society, able to whisper oblige ze counsels
in the ears of statesmen, to pervert the conscience:•
of monarchs, to tamper with the loyalty o f armies,
and to inflame the fanaticism of the people. By
this agency in times past the best interest, of States
have been set at nought, the best schemes of im-
provement in government and the best efforts of
the intellect of nations have been crushed and kept
down. Kingdoms have been laid under interdict,
monarchs proscribed, subjects absolved from their
allegiance, and rebellion and slaughter publicly
approved, and even ble§sed. The rewards of heaven
have been promised in God's name for some of the
darkest deeds of hell—for treason, assassination,
massacre, and prolonged torture. It has thus been
at all times a serious thing to provoke the wrath of
Rome. Her weapons have been ignorance and
fanatical frenzy ; and these she has played off against
law and order, public liberty, and national progress.
Wielding two swords—the temporal and the
'spiritual—the Pope has never hesitated to use
whichever Ni 011111 suit his purpose best. He has
curbed the rising liberties of foreign States by the
anathemas of the Vatican, and he has held his own
people in chains by the bayonets of his soldiers.
With instruments that reach alike to body and to
soul he has upheld a system which, for boldness of
assertion, universality of claim, and mysterious con-
nection with all the hopes and fears of man, has no
rival, and can have no successor. With these he
has fought the world, and, when he could, has
crushed it. All the good works of the Church of
Rome, and they are many—all her monasteries,
sisterhoods, schools, hospitals, and means of charity
—have been neutralised by the ambitious aims and
worldly prizes after which she has struggled; and
her moral force has suffered hopeless damage from
the crafty, oppressive, and unprincipled means to
-which she has resorted. Contrary to the example
of apostolic times, the weapons of her warfare have
been, not spiritual, but carnal. Blond has been held
cheap by her when political or spiritual influence
has been the object sought.
It is with a power so conditioned, with such in-
struments, principles of action, aims, and antece-
dents, that the public opinion of Europe will soon
have to deal. In the progress of things the tyranny
of the Po-pedom could not endure for ever. With all
its isolating properties Rome could not cut itself of
from the rest of Italy, nor can Italy be excepted
from the law of improvement which is obviously
making itself felt among the nations of the Conti-
nent. By a perfectly natural process a crisis has
come. Elements of misery, discontent, yearnings
for liberty, consciousness of capability of better
things, and a very proper emulation of great and
free States, have been seething together in the
popular mind in the Papal States. They have now
grown to a head. They would have done so long
before but for the continual presence of foreign
troops. As soon, however, as the necessities of the
war compelled the withdrawal of these soldiers, and
the people were left with no other tie to the Power
that governed them than the sense of outrage and
of mock paternity, they asserted their own liberty,
as did also the surrounding States. And now it
remains to be seen whether this liberty is to be
crushed out again, and the people relegated to
their old state of bondage. This is the question
of the day. "An Italian cause" has been pro-
pounded to the world by the Emperor of the
French, and the sympathy of Europe has been
invoked for it. In behalf of that cause he entered
upon a deadly war, and on the ground that he had
served it, if not sufficiently, at least as far as was
consistent with his antecedent duty to France, lie
made peace. The conditions of that peace have just
been signed ; but the Italian cause is not settled by
it. The interests of Central Italy arc still in abey-
ance, and of Central Italy the Papal States form no
inconsiderable portion. These States hava followed
the example of those around them, and have all
declared against their traditional ruler. The public
opinion of a great part of Europe favours their po-
sition, and thus the temporal sovereignty of the
Pontiff is in danger of coming to an end, with the
consent of a very large portion of Christendom.
This is a crisis to rouse whatever of the natural
man can be supposed to exist in a Pope's interior.
And now every agency by which Rome can in-
fluence public opinion, the policy of princes, and
the course of events, will be strained to the utmost.
All that ramified organisation of which we spoke
above is now being played off.. A thrill of danger
has run through the Roman Catholic community ;
every primate, prelate, and priest is urged forward,
and rescripts, pastorals, and fulminations are the
order of the day. In Austria, in France, in Bel-
gium, and in Ireland, the people are urged from
the altar to make common cause with the Pope, and
by every means to bring public opinion, and if ne-
cessary the most active opposition, to boar upon the
re:subjugation of the Romagnese. This is a cu-
rious spectacle for the nineteenth century. It is
the old story over again. The spiritual power
played off against temporal rights. In this way the
most industrious efforts are being made to turn the
hearts of the people of France, in hope of thereby
affecting the policy of the Emperor. Indeed, the
Pope by this step challenges Napoleon. He in a
certain sv ty dares him to c irry out " the idea" for
which he went to war. He does not speak officially,
but he speaks through his subordinates, and vir-
tually says to the Emperor that the tranquillity of
France, and therein the continuance of his dy-
nasty, is in the hands of the Church. It will be
instructive to watch the end of this. We shall be
able to form some opinion of the reality of the pro-
gress of France during the last ten years when we
see whether she has yet attained to an independence
of the priesthood of Rome. If the Government of
Napoleon is to be of permanent good—if the Em-
pire is really to exalt the French nation—if her
progress is to be real and beneficent, there must be
no truckling to the intrigues of the clergy, whose
grand motive through life is the exaltation of the
Pope, and who regard the maintenance of his supre-
macy over the mind, body, and estate of all Chris-
tendom to be a prerogative of divine right, and a
principle to live and die for.

~ I will kty on for Tusculum,
And lay thou on for Rome."

That is the struggle now pending, and the world
awaits anxiously the issue.—Morning Post.

SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS.--Oct. 19.

KINGSTON.

(Before Mr. E. Penrhyn,_Chairman, and a Bench

of Magistrates.)
The Court was occupied a considerable part o,
the day in hearing applications for music and
dancing licences.

THE LAST OF I'AU.pIALL-GARDENS.
Mr. Knapp made an application for a renewal
of the licence to the Spring-gardens, Vauxhall.
The Chairman inquired whether the application
was for a renewal of the licence to Vauxhall-gar-
den., which he understood were now done away
with, and appropriated to other purposes.
Mr. Knapp said he believed that the licence was
intended to be applied to a portion of the same pro-
.

The Chairman said it appeared to him that the
circumstances were completely altered, and that
Vauxhall-gardens, for which the licence had been
originally granted, had now ceased to exist.
He did not see, therefore, how the Court
would be justified in granting a licence to a
place that no longer existed. There was, besides,
no evidence whatever to satisfy the Court to what
portion of the remaining property the licence was
intended to be applied.
Mr. Knapp then called Mr. Ernest, the applicant
for the licence, who stated, in answer to questions
put by the Chairman, that his object was to obtain
a licence for the old building at the entrance of the
gardens, to which a portion of the old site would
be attached for the recreation of the public.
The Chairman inquired whether the whole of
the old Vauxhall " properties" had not been pulled
down and disposed of.

Mr. Ernest said that they certainly had to a great
extent, but some portion still remained, and these
would be applied to the purpose of amusing the
public.
The Clerk of the Peace said it appeared by the
records of the Court that the licence had always
been granted to the "Royal Gardens, Vauxhall,"
and it was an entirely new thing to ask for a
licence for any building.
The Chairman, after some further discussion, said
the court were unanimously of opinion that, under
the altered circumstances of the property, there was
no ground for granting a licence, and the applica-
tion, therefore, must be refused.
4The whole of the other old licences were then
r,newed without any observation.
Henry Alexis Lemaire, a Frenchman, renewed
an application he has made at several sessions.for a
licence for the Rotunda, in the Blackfriars-road,
under the name of the Royal Albion.
Mr. Knapp supported The application ; Mr. Joyce
opposed on behalf of Mr. W. Cooke, the lessee of
Astle3's Theatre ; Mr. Needham, for the lessees of
the 'Surrey, Messrs. Shephard and Creswick ; Mr.
Utley, for the lessee of the Victoria; and Mr.
Cliarnock, for Mr. Morton, the proprietor of Canter-
bury
The memorial of the applicant was signed by a
number of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood
Ind it also set forth that after the magistrates had
refused him a licence on the last occasion, he im-
mediately closed the premises at considerable loss,
and that if a licence were:now granted he would do

all in his power to conduct the establishment in an
crderly and respectable manner.
Mr. Joyce addressed the Court, and said that
Mr. Lemaire had made many applications for a
licence, all of which had been refused ; and he had
taken a defiant course and kept the place open as a
"penny gaff," in spite of the magistrates. Three
additional places of amusement had been licensed
since Mr. Lemaire first applied, and the Rotunda
was not only unnecessary, but would be a nuisance
to the neighbourhood.

Mr. Needham, in support of the opposition by
the lessees of the Surrey Theatre, said it appeared
to him that the present application was quite un-
justifiable, and that after so many refusals by the
magistrates, the applicant ought not to persevere
and put parties to the expense of an opposi-
tion. He thought it right to state that when Mr.
Lemaire applied for a licence last year, considerable
surprise was felt at some of the signatures that ap-
peared in favour of granting the licence, and among
them was that of Mr. Pellatt, the late member for
the borough. He should not be justified in stating
under what circumstances that signature was ob-
tained; but he would inform the court that on the
present occasion Mr. Pellatt had signed a petition
against the granting of the licence. He said, that
although he could not give any evidence with refer-
ence to the case of Mr. Pellatt, he was in a condition
to show the court how signatures to these sort of
petitions were obtained in a great many instances.
Mr. F. G. Wyan, a tradesman residing in Black-
friars•road, was then examined, and he stated that
last year he signed the petition 'of Mr. Lemaire
for a licence for the Rotunda, and he did so under
the following circumstances. One morning, when
he was engaged in his shop, a gentleman came in
and introduced: himself to him very politely,
and said that he wanted him to sign a petition for
the abolition of the Rotunda. He said he would
do so very willingly, and immediately signed the
petition without looking at it, and the gentleman
went out of the shop evidently very well pleased.
(Laughter.) He discovered afterwards, very irdich
to his annoyance, that he had signed a petition in
favour of a licence being granted. (A roar of laugh
ter.) He certainly should not have signed the peti •
tion if he had known its real object, because he
considered the place was a nuisance to the whole
neighbourhood.
By
.Mr. Knapp—Witness was quite sure he (lid
not mistake the)word " application" for" abolition."
(Renewed laughter.) Believed the Rotunda had
been closed durinc, the present year.
Mr. Lilley aneMr. Charnock then addressed the
Court, and the last-mentioned learned counsel caused
a good deal of laughter by his observations upon
the entire absence of the requirement for such a
place of amusement in the neighbourhood. He said
he had himself seen a lot of little ragged urchins,
shoeless and shirtless, rushing into the Rotunda to
see "Obi, or Three-fingered Jack," or the murder
of "Hamlet ;" and such a place was only calculated
to cause the commission of crime, and could not
answer any real purpose of amusement or recrea-
tion.

The Court unanimously refused the licence:
The Chairman in the • course of the day gave
notice that at the next session the rules of the Court,
with reference to licensing places of amusement,
would be altered in this respect, that in future
those persons who desired to take a transfer of a
licence for music and dancing would have to give
the same notice as though it was an original appli-
catton.

WAKEFIELD ELECTIOY COMMISSION.

WAKEFIELD, WEDNESDAY.

After the desptach of my parcel last night,
Joseph Brear, the agent employed by the Con-
servatives at the last election in distributing bribes,
continued his revelations. He said—l gave money
to a man named Beaumont, who is in prison ; I be-
lieve £l5. Five Beaumonts voted on our side, and
I wish there had been more. I gave nothing to
David Turner. The " unknown man" had to do
the amiable with him.

Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Well, now, Mr. Brear,
will you tell us how much money you had throUgh
your hands altogether? _ _ _

Witness—l cannot tell exactly, but I should
think it would be about £1,300. I got it in bags
from Mr. Jose Fernandez, and I did not count the
contents.

Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Did he let you have all
that you wanted ?
Witness—Knowing much of elections, I told
Sanderson that unless something was done we
should lose the election, as they were bringing
voters in all directions on the other side. Saner-
son did not say anything to discourage me, but re-
ferred me to Jose Fernandez. The day afterwards
I went to Fernandez. I cannot fix the time. Above
all Clings I never keep dates about election matters.
(Laughter.) The money was ready for me.
Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Who sent the stranger to
you P.

Witness—l was " up"—(laughter)—l knew a
thing or two ; so I knew his business, and I asked
no questions. I had interviews with him thre/
times, but I didn't want to have much conversation
with him.

Mr. Sergeant Pin•ott—Cau you describe this
mysterious stranger ?"'
Witness—He was a very nice-complexioned
man, with very winning ways—(laughter)—and
just the man for the situation. (Loud laughter.)
He wore whiskers and had a beard occasionally.
(Laughter.) That is, he had one of those straight-
out beards. (Laughter.) His hair was whitey-
brown. (Great laughter.) He was not particu-
larly stout, but a very comely, good-looking man.
0, sir, what an accomplished man he was ! (Great
laughter.) I don't know that his hair was curly or
wh ether he wore a white hat, but his age was about
40 or 42. I will undertake to swear that I don't
know what his name is, and that I have no clue to
it. I don't know who introduced him into the town,
and I never saw him beforein my life. I did not
keep a list of voters who were " briberable" I can •
not say what money the bags I got contained. I
was determined not to count the contents, but, from
what I spent, I think I got something to the tune
of £1,300 in notes and gold. I looked at the notes
very hard, for I thought it " very heard cheese"
that they should go as they were going. (Laughter.)
After I had paid the voters there was a little money
left, which I did not pay back, as I thought it was
my turn after the rest, (Laughter.) I have it at
home now, having never touched it, but there is
only a sovereign or two, just enough to pay for
half a dozen of champagne.
Mr. Sergeant Pigott—We want to see the bag.
You must bring it tomorrow.
Witness—Very well ; but I won't bring the
money. (Laughter.) Mr. Sanderson never warned
me againt bribery.
Thomas Alder, jun., deposed to having taken the
stranger to Brear's house. He met him near the
Bull Inn, and took him at his own request to Brear.
Had never seen him since, nor heard his name.
The Court then adjourned.
When the Commissioners reassembled this morn-
ing,

Miss Sarah Ann Turbill was called. She said she
had a cousin named Samuel Richard Green, an iron-
founder (who was previously examined). Her
cousin did not ask her to call upon a voter named
Ritchie, but she was in the habit of visiting him
and his wife regularly ; nothing particular
passed between them about the election beyond
mere fireside chat. Green asked her what way
she thought Ritchie would vote, but did not
suggest to her to ask him for his vote. She knew
that Ritchie was a wavering sort of man, and that
they were in very poor circumstances ; but they
did not ask her what they were likely to get for
the vote. Mrs..hitchic told her on one occasion that
Barratt had given her husband £4O for voting for
Charleswort h. •
Mr. Joseph Shaw, spirit merchant, one of Mr.
• Charlesworth's active supporters, was next called.
He said he had £lO given to him for the purposes
of the election by Mr. Fernandez ; that was the
whole amount of money which passed through his
hands for the purposes of the election. He canvassed
about 300 electors, and got about 100 signatures to
the requisition to Nit.. Charlesworth. He cal led. with
Mr. Charles worth upon a voter named Winter, who
begged to be excused voting for theirside. Witness
waited upon him subsequently with a person named
Stephenson. He (witness) knew that the Liberals
had "opened" Winter's house. On that occasion
Winter made no promise one way or the other, but
Stephenson put down £3 on the table. Some of the
Leatham party came in just then, and Stephenson
took up the money and put it in his pocket. Winter
afterwards voted for Leathern. He (witness) gave
a voter named Wilcock £3O to vote for Charles-
worth, but he did not vote at all. He (witness) nei-
ther gave nor offered money in any other ease. Of
the remainder of the £4O he gave a man named
Link £B, who was a " tolerably good speaker," to
go about to the public-houses and speak in favour
of CharleswOrth. He did not know the "stranger"
who had been sp ken .of by some prey .ous witnesses,
who wl.s• engaged in the election on his side, but he
heard there was " a man in the moon" down, but he
never knew who had sent for him. II; made it a
point to know as little of these matters as possible.
It was generally understood among " elect ion
people" that "a man in the moon" meant a person
who was engaged to bribe the electors. lie knew
that Joe 13rear was bribing voters on the Charles-
worth side, but he did not know that Mr. Goldthorpe
was so engaged. He did not know of his own know-
ledge of any' other person except WTilcock being
bribed. He never heard that the "man in the
moon" was a relative of one of the prominent mem-
bers of his party. Ho ( witness) canvassed for Charles-
werth at the election of 1857. He made no offer to

-- -
any voter at that election. In fact he was money
out of pocket on that occasion, for he lent money to
Mr. Charlesworth to pay the toll-bar and for hold-
ing his horse, and he never had the " good manners"
to repay him.

Mr. Archibald Crowther, spirit merchant, was
next examined. He said Joe Brear gave him £lOO
(not £2OO as that witness stated), for the purposes
of the election. He gave it to him all in gold in a
bag. Brear came into his shop in a great-hurry, as
if somebody was after him, and said, " Here's £2OO,
do what you can with it." He (witness) gave £4O
out of the £lOO to a voter named Speake, and £4O
to another voter named Wainwright, a butcher, to
vote for Charlesworth. The remaining £2O lie spent
in incidental expenses, treating non-voters, &c. lle
offered a person named Thomas Wilcock, a tenant
of his own, £3O or £4O to vote for Charlesworth.
To Mrs. Burnell, a fishmonger, he said he had no
doubt he could get her £5O or £6O if her husband
would vote for Charlesworth. The next person to
whom he offered money was Samuel Fieldhouse, to
whom he said he thought he might get him £4O.
Fieldhouse then went away, and witness went after
him next day, and told his wife he thought he might
get him £5O, and she told him to go to the British
Oak, where her husband was. There was a great
crowd about the house, and he dared not go in, but
afterward 3 lie saw Fieldhouse, who said he would
take £5O to go away. He (witness) then said to a
person named Richardson, " What do you think
this man wants to go away ? He wants £50."
Richardson replied, " Why, he has voted ;" and the n
he (witness) said to Fieldhouse, "You are a d--d
squinting scamp." He offered £5O to another voter,
named Lancaster. Brear never gave him money for
the purposes of the election except on the one occa-
sion of which he had spoken. He did not recollect
he ever told Brear he gave him only £lOO instead
of £2OO until that morning, after he had seen
Brear's evidence in the paper. Brear then said he
was not sure exactly how much he gave him
—he was hurried and excited at the time. He
did not ask Brear where the money came from.
He "I expected" it came from the committee.
He did not recollect " the stranger" and Brear
coming to his house, but Brear told him there
would probably be " a man in the moon " coming
by-and-bye. He would swear he never saw the
" man in the moon" to his knowledge canvassing,
nor any other stranger.
Mr. Henry Brown examined. He said he was
private solicitor to Mr. Charlesworth and several
members of his family. He was mayor and re-
turning officer at the election of 1857. He heard
there was a sum of from £3OO to £5OO spent by
Mr. Charlesworth at that election, but he could not
speak from his own knowledge. He was not aware
of any bribery going on at the last election (1859)
on Mr. Charlesworth's part. He himself never
offered any bribe at that election. He contributed
to the expense of the petition to the House of
Commons against Mr.Leatham's return. He wished
Mr. Charlesworth to pray for the seat ; but, from
what he had heard since this commission began, he
should not have given Mr. Charlesworth that ad-
vice. He should think, knowing the people of
Wakefield as he did, that not above 100 of the
electors were likely to take bribes. He had read
of the large amount of money which had been
spent at the last election, but he did not think it
could have been spent in bribery.
Mr. Thomas Rennard, innkeeper, examined. He
keeps the White Hart. He voted for Mr. Leatham,
and got £25 for his vote from Mr. Kenworthy.
He was canvassed on the other side by " a stranger."
They got talking about racing matters, and the
stranger said he could give him a good "tip." The
stranger then asked if £2O, or £3O, or £4O would
induce him to vote for Charlesworth, and witness
replied it would not, that he had promised to vote
for Leatham, and he would not break his promise.
That stranger was rather a comely-looking fellow,
and of genteel appearance. He never heard that
man's name, nor who he was, nor that he was con-
nected with any one. in Wakefield. It was about
the time of the Chester races, and the stranger said
he could give him a " tip " about the Royal Sove-
reign, who was then a favourite in the betting.
He thought by the man's accent that he was a
Yorkshireman ; he wild swear he was, and also
that he was a West Riding man.
Mrs. Sarah Moron examined. She said Mr.
Tomlinson (who was examined yesterday) called at
her house before the election and asked her who
her husband was going to vote for. She said she be.
lieved .for Leatham, and he said it would be worth
her husband's while to be neutral and to go away.
She told her husband what had passed. She thought
Tomlinson meant that her husband should have a
sum of money if he voted for Charlesworth.
Mr. Thomas Halliday, a publican at Halifax, and
also proprietor of a colliery, was next called and
examined as to the evidence of the witness Bair-
stow, who stated he had been turned out of his
situation at witness's colliery because he voted for
Mr. Lcatham. Witness did not turn Bairstow off
for that, nor did he know how he voted until he
read it in Bairstow's evidence before the commis-
/ sion. What Bairstow had stated in his evidence
was untrue ; he was discharged because the pit was
closed for a time.
Mr. Joseph Brear, who was partly examined
yesterday, was now recalled, and in reply to ques-
tions by Mr. Sergeant Pigott, said—l gave Archie
Crowther money only once. I stated in my evi-
dence yesterday that I gave him £2OO ; but I be-
lieve now, from what Crowther told me this morn-
ing, that it was only £lOO. I looked at the bag
last night in Which I kept the money given me for
the election, and there is only a sovereign and a
half-sovereign in it now. I got this bag (which he
produced) at the Strafford Arms. I took it up from
the table there, and knew very well what it was
for. I gave William Wright, a voter, first £25,
and afterwards £5 to vote for Charlesworth. No
one suggested to me to take this office. I'm sorry
to say I was a bit too forward. The money was
there (at the Strafford Arms) when it was wanted.
I was not told the "man in the moon" was coming
down—(a laugh)—but when he came and was in-
troduced by Mr. Alder, I thought it,'.,was all right,
and did not look upon it as a matter of business,
but as a." bit of trap-hand work." (Laughter.)
Mr. Slade—Was that " stranger" a Yorkshire-
man ?

Witness—Oh, I cannot say; you can't tell a
Yorkshireman nowadays. If a Yorkshireman goes
up to London for a week, he comes down again
" clipped and heeled." (Laughter.)
By Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Of course I mean that
the offers I made to Cooling and Mitchell, which I
spoke of yesterday, were only in joke.
Wm. Williamson examined—He said he got £35
for voting for Mr. Leatham. Mr. Shaw, pawn-
broker, gave him the money. That was three or
four days before the election. Before he got that
money, Joe Brear (the last witness) came to his
house and put £l5 on the table, saying he left
it thei e, and no one could say he bribed him.
(Laughter.)
Charles Brady stated he got £3O from Brear for
his vote, and was offered £3O by Shaw to vote for
the other side.
Alexander Brady, brother to the last witness,
said he got a similar sum. He and his brother
both voted for Charlesworth.
William Cass also stated he got £25 from Brear
for voting for Charlesworth. He was offered £3O
by Shaw (pawnbroker) to vote for Leatham, but
did not take it! because he never voted on that side.

Tomas Perkin deposed that he got £3O from
Brear for his vote for Charlesworth. He refused
£4O fromSharploy to vote for Leatham.

- James Stead said he took £2O from Brear to vote
for Charlesworth, and. refused £5O offered by Sharp-
ley to vote for Leatham.
Wm. Wells stated he received £4O from Brear,
and refused offers from Sharpiey and others of the
Liberal party.
Robert Beaumont said he got £25 from Joe Brear
for his vote; he had an offer of £2O to vote for
reathana by a man named White.

:John Ainley said he got £lO from Mr. Samuel
Green fOr voting for Mr. Charlcsworth. It was
after the election was over. Mr. Shaw (pawn-
broker) offered him £3O to vote for Leatham, but
he would not take it because Mr. Charlesworth was
his landlord.

Miss Sarah Rigg examined. She said she knew
a man named William Cocker and spoke to him
many a time about his vote. She knew he was,
going to vote for Leatham, and she asked him to
vote for Charlesworth. She offered him £2o—she
believed she offered him I:so—if he would vote for
Charlesworth. She would swear solemnly no one
authorised her to make these offers. She did not
