IPSWICH.

James Adams, the drummer, was r2-examined by Mr.
rhillips for the sitting Member—Witness was also a fifer, and
he performed on a tin whistle during the late eleation.—
(Laughter. ) He never shouted in derision of Mr. Wason,
though Me. Wason did speak disrespectfully of him, by having
etieu out to follow him, for Adams was not. the man to give a
bribe before a third person—(Laughter)—though he never
bribed any one.—( Laughter. ) A good deal-of other exami-
nation fullowed. but the only point elicited was that one wit,
ness who voted for the sitting Members on principle, soon after
'was appointed to a place in the Customs.
James Shanders examined, stated he heard Mr. Rigby
Wason address the electors from the hustings, when he said,'
that 2,0001., 8,000 r., or even a sacrifice of 10,0001., should
not stand in the way of his being returned for Ipswich.
Mr. Rennie followed in a similar strain; but the witness
would not undertake to swear that he said more than
money shall be no obstacle in the way of our election." He
and a person, named Walter Edgley, addrtsed a letter to Mr.
Wason, stating that he (witness) would divulge some words
which would be likely to tend to good towards him.
Cross-examined by Mr. (. PHILLIPS, on behalf of the sit-
ting Members—The purport of what he preps( d to divulge
was concerning a sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. Alderson,
who took for his text—" Fallow your own laud, but sow not
your seed among thorns." This sermon was preached en the
Sunday previous to the election, and was ttended by a number
of the Liberal party. Was not surprised at so large a sum as
10,000/. being spoken of as likely to be spent at an election
after what he witnessed at Norwich, where 30,0001. was ex-
pended. He supposed the text alluded to the Corn-laws.
Alfred Edgley was the next. witness ; he said he was
master, in a school attached to th Reverend Mr.
'Alderson's chapel, with whom he had a misunderstanoing. in
consetitience of refusing to vote for the candidate whom he sug-
gested. He was in the Liberal interest always, but not having
received any instructions- or advice from the- , he offered his
set vices to the opposite party. tie wrote a letter to Mr. R.
Wason, stating, that if he sent him 301., he would not come
forward on the present occasion.

(Menden. , being ,nurn, said, a short time yrevions lo
the election his wile reeelven two cheques fur .'5l. Cacti, trom
a person named bunth, who keeps the Suttoik Hotel. 'Ile)
were subsequently handed over to a peescri named John Man,
but returned to witness's wife, soon after which they were
cashed by a person named Waller.
Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—The notes received in
cashing the cheques-were red. 'I hose ot Alexander's bank at
Ipswich arc ot the same colour. Vt, dness's wile was at present,
and had been for some time back, unwell, and, therefure, unable
to attend the Committee as a witness.

This witness, dining his exemmation, was reprimanded by
the Chairniat:, who said (t 4 it. the concurrence of the Commit-

factory manner, they thouid report him to the House of Com-
mons.
