ELECTION COM?dITTEES.—(This Day.)

BURY ST. EDMUNP'S.
The' committee ins. till-+ uirinu4 tur tie time to
ry the petition- of Mr. Oakes, the un,ucce,fui candi-
date at the last election, again,t the return of Mr. Bard-
castle, the sitting member. The grounds of the petition
were bribery, undue influence, and treating. It was
stated that Mr. Hard castle w, a returned by a
majority of 51, which was an exq.aordinary cir-
cumstance, he being support,d by the Dissenting
interest, whilst the tendency of the borough
was convena,ti,e. Reliance was placed on treating, it
being stated that numbers of those who voted for the
sitting member were regaled in small parties at public
houses, from whence thy went to the pull and voted for
him in a thtlf beaii,iy state of intoxicatlon.

Mr. Salmon, town clerk and election auditor, was ex.
amined at some length.

BURY (LANCASHIRE).

Tbe Committtere-asseinbied this morning and informed
the Lamed counsel that the emnmittee only required to
hear evidence or any remarks relati►e to the case of
Smith, carver and gilder.
Mr. Monk, for the sitting member, then addressed
the committee on the state of the borough during the
cjntest, and entered at great lengtl- into the evidence of
Smith, on whom, he contended, no reliance could be
placed.

Mr. Phinn replied, contenling that the evidence fully
established the charge of undue influence, for it went to
show that bands of noo.elecurs were organised by some
of Mr. Plinlip's committeemen to ove'rctive the electors.
The Committee then deliberated on the decision with
closed door,.

On the readmission of strangers the Chairman declared
that the Committee had found Mr. Phillips duly elected

MAYO.

The committee re-aisembled this morning at the usual
hour.

The first witness examined was Dr. Thomas M`Grear,
a medical man residing at Castlebar. He took an
active part in the last election. He composed the pla-
card to which the resolutions of the archbishop and the
bishops were appended ; he wrote it in the Rev. Mr.
Cahill's room, where he saw Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Jordan,
and other gentlemen. Allusion was made to the
bishop's resolution, just come from Tuam, and one of the
gentlemen present said it would be a capital thingto make
use of the resolution as a placard. That suggestion
was acted on, but Mr. Moore had nothing to do with,
nor did he know anything about it. At the prior elec-
tion he supported Colonel Higgins. Previous to the
❑omination ha met the Rev. Mr. Carley at Westport,
and offered hint a seat in his car and drove him to Oat'
tleb.ir. On the road Mr. Carley read his office from the
breviary. Witness spoke to him and Mr. Carley desired
him nut to interrupt him. On reaching Castlebar there
was a great crowd opposite Colonel Higgins's committee-
room. Tney were making a great noise, and were very
violent. They groaned at him and Mr. Carley as they
passed. The rioting increased, on which Mr. Carley
said lie would put an end to it by speaking to the people,
and he went to witness's drawing-room and spoke to the
people from his window. He told them that he knew►
very well the game Cul. Higgins's party was playing--
that he only wanted to entrap the people and put them
in gaol,—that C.A. Higgins ha I violated his pledge and
that it was all up with the colonel in the county.
He advised the people to ho home peaceably, and they
dispersed immediately. It was customary fur a priest
to carry his breviary with him. He saw Mr. Carley at
the nomination. He got on the table several times to
obtain a hearing, for Sir Richard O'Donnell, Dean
Burke and Mr. Brabazon, who were desirous of speak-
ing on behalf of Colonel Higgins. They were heard
in consequence. He did not see any violence on the part
of Mr. Carley—indeed, he knew he committed none,
as he was next to him all the time. The conduct of
the Deputy-Sheriff very much attracted his attention.
He was very violent in action and manner, and fre-
quently exclaimed, " that's a lie." He addressed that
epithet to Mr. Conway. The nomination passed off
quietly, and, upon the whole, it was a quiet election.
The witness was was cross-examined at considerable

length by Mr. O'Maily for the petitioner. It created
considerable amusement. It was founded on a news.
paper report of one of Mr. Moore's speeches in reference
to the progress of the election, in which he alluded to the
services the priests had rendered in Tipperary, and he
hoped Mayo would foil iw its example.
