ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(YESTERDAY.)
GREAT MARLOW.

The Committee met again yesterday morning at eleven.
The inquiry into the vote of Samuel Barnes was continued,
and a great number of witnesses were examined.
Mr. TALBOT having replied,
The room was cleared, and the Committee after deliberating
for some time, decided that the vote was a bad one, and should
be struck off the poll.
This decision has placed the sitting Member in a minority
of one.

Mr. COCKBURN, on the part of the sitting Member, then
objected to the vote of Joseph Harper, on the ground of want of
occupation and value.
Mr. Sergesnt WRANOILAM took a preliminary objection to
entering into the case, on the ground that the objection to the
voter had not being duly served in the first instance. The
notice of objection was served on the wife of the overseer, in-
stead of being served on the overseer himself.
Mr. Cocxnuall, in repl), contended that as the objection
had been discussed before the Revising-Barrister, that covered
any previous informality.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
BOROUGH OF CLITHEBOE.

The vote of Thomas Smithers slas next objected to on the
ground that he had parted with his qualification previous to the
election. Witnesses havine, been examined to prove that the
voter had quitted the premises from which he derived his qua-
lification before that time,

Mr. HILLIARD, for the petitioner, said it was in vain for
him to defend the vote, which was accordingly struck off.
John Alston was objected to on the same ground.
Edward Alston (the brother of the voter) was examined to
prove that his brother had ceased before the election to occupy
the premises for which he voted. . _

Air. HILLIARD was about to cross—examine the wit-
ness, when a person, who afterwards gave his name as
" John Ashworth," raised his head from the table, near the
witness, on which he had been leaning with his head upon
his folded arms, and exclaimed, " Answer no questions."
This occasioned considerable interruption of the pro-
ceedings of the Committee. Ashworth being taken into
custody by the messenger, and reprimanded by the
Chairman, excused himself by saying that he " had been
asleep and was not aware of what he was doing." The Chair-
man left then to consult(as was supposed) the Speaker, and re-
turned in about half an hour, when he told the Committee
that their only course was to report the matter to the House,
which would deal as it thought proper with the persons
offending.
The cross-examination of the witness Alston proceeded, and
had not concluded when the Committee rose.
