ELECTION COMMITTEES.
BELFAST.

The Committee met yesterday morning at eleven o'clock,
Mr. O'Connell in the Chair.
At the commencement of the proceedings the Chair-
man read a letter addressed to him by Lord Belfast,
dated June 300, 1842, disclaiming being a party to the
compromise, and stating that it was with the utmost re
luctance he consented to the arrangement. The letter
IA as read, but not placed on the minutes.
Mr. EXERSON 'I'ENNENT said he had handed in the
corrections which Mr. Gordon wished to make in his
evidence given before the Committee on its first day of
meeting. Some discussion ensued on the propriety of
admitting these corrections, v hich ended in Mr. Emer-
son Tennent withdrawing them.
Mr. COPPOCK handed in the opinioils of M. Austin
and Mr. Cockburn on the ease, and stated that he had
furnished Mr. Bates with a statement of some of the
charges, and the names of the parties charged. He fur-
nished him with a list of • twenty- cases of personation,
and twelve of bribery. He stated that be would com-
mence with the cases of personation ; he would first
prove the taking of the house for the purpoSe of hold-
ing the meetings of the Conservative Committee, and
establishing the ComMittee-rooms.
Mr. BATES admitted the hiring of the rooms from a
Mr. Ewar: ; 501. was paid for the occupation.
Mr. Evart was called in and examined ; he proved
the hiring of his house, and the sum paid for it, fur the
week the election lasted.
William Hall, lithographic printer, residing in Belfast,
proved that he received an order from Mr. Bates to print
a list. of names of electors ; 100 copies were printed, and
he ‘vas,told to take care that nobody saw them.
Arthur M'Brear had compared the printed list spoken
of by the last witness with his 'own books, and he
finind that the list contained the names of Conservative
voters who had lost their qualification. •A person named
Mullholland gave him the list, telling him that he had
obtained it by mealis of a prostitute. Witness was then
examined re-petting a number of persons who had voted
having lost their qualification.
Drnilidl-y was called, and proved that a man named
Win. Wood personated a voter of the name ofJobn Cull.
He gave a general description of the state of the constitu-
leacslwidatshe Protestant ; the
constitu-
ency of Belfast, from which it appeared that it was in a
very confused and degraded state. There were an im-
mense number of voters on the lists who had no qualification
at all. More than twenty persons voted on the Liberal
side who had no right to vote. He described the system
of hiring jaunting-cars to carry voters to the poll, in
hich a complete trade was driven by the lower class of
publicans, who made double of their cars they did at any
nvoetryprevail so much
other time. They even sent into the neighgbeonuerrianlgatmowonngs
and hired cars from thence, going share in the profits
with the proprietors. The votes of these men went to
the parties who hired the cars. The predilection. for
gtaa:ei nolgnogau. lower c(e'l at hscseaptohot
former he thought acted more as a political
party, and were more staunch to their opinions ; there
were more " indifferent" people among the Protestants,

voters
that is people who were ready to be biassed by money
or arty other influence ; still there were many persons
among these who held very strong political feelings. •
Mr. Edward Bloomfield, a brazier, of Belfast, proved
a case of personation, in which a man Rained Martin
voted for another called Arnold ; the bribery and qua-
lification oaths were both administered to him, and he
took them ; witness after Wards reproached him with it,
and he denied it. He knew the man well, and could not
be mistaken in him. He stated another case of the same
kind, in which a person, whose name lie did not know,
voted as George Clarke, who had been dead ever since
1836 or 1837.
Mr. Cooper, a merchant of Belfast, was called to prove
a similar case, the personator being a man named Wood.
who voted as John Bailey ; the same man voted a se-
cond time as John Cull, thus committing a double per-

sonation.
John Brunting proved that a voter named Donelly
was personated, whom he knew to be dead.
Stephen M•Cullagh stated that he carried a letter aid
money to a man named Wood, residing in the town
