ELECTION COMMITTEES.—( rhis Day.)

GLOUCESTER CITY.

The committee re-assembled this morning.

Lord R. Grosvenor, chairman, f,tated that the
committee had come to the resolution that Mr. P.
Price, one of the sitting members, was duly elected.
That there had been undue influenc,., but that
there was not sufficient evidence of agency.

Mr. Edwin James, Q C., then opened the case of
the petitioner against Alderman Sir R. W. Carden,
the other sitting member. The petition was from
Admiral Berkley, who prayed for the sea`, on the
grOund of bribery and corruption. Admiral
Berkley considered that from his connection with
the borough, and his being a supporter of Lnrd
Palmerston, he ought to have be urned.
It appeared that previous to th a
meeting of electors took place, at which ye-
grove, Alderman Carden's solicitor, w es it.
A deputation of which Alderman Whithor 'as one,
came to London on the look out for a candidate,
and they were ultimately introduced to Sir W.
Carden who consented to become a candidate, and
an arrangement was made between him and the
deputation that he should be returned for a certain
sum. The deputation returned to Gloucesrer and
opened a committee, first in Ball-lane and after-
wards hi WestCott-street, where the committee-
room was darkened by a blind. In the committee-
room was Alderman Whithorn, and it would be
shown that several acts of bribery had taken place
there, after which the voters were taken to the poll
and voted for Carden. The learned gentlemen said
that he should be able clearly to prove that two
voters named Dowes and Clarke were so
bribed. Another case of bribery he should
be able to prove was that of a voter
named Lewellyn, a horse defiler, by Mr.
Lovegrove, Alderman Carden's authorised
agent, on the 27th March, the day of nomination,
by the promise of a sum of money ; Lewellya
wished to stipulate also for a situation for his son,
and they went accordingly to a Mr. Best on the
subject, and ultimately Lewellyn voted a plumper
for Alderman Carden. The most important case
was that of a voter named Lestre, in which the
sitting member was concerned, and there was
another case in which the sitting member was also
concerned, in which another voter was paid 201.
odd through a town-councillor. _

Evidence was then given in support of the
.earned counsel's opening.

IPSWICH.

The committee this morning decided that Mr.
Adair, one of the sitting members, was duly elected.
Tile petition against Mr. Cobbold, the other sitting
member, was then opened on the ground of alleged
bribery and corrupt practices.

HUNTINGDON (COUNTY).
The scrutiny was this morning resumed on th•
sitting of the commUtee.

GREAT YARMOUTH.

The committee re-assembled this morning.

The first witness called was Charles Woolney, a
market gardener, who gave his evidence in a very
reluctant and improper manner, the consequence
of which was, that he was committed to the cus-
tody of the Sergeant-at-Arms.
