COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.

Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Answer We question.
Mr. Wren—Realiy these questions are coming so near home,
that I must decline to answer them.—( Laughter. )
The question was pressed, the room was cleared, and the
Committee decided that Air. Wren must anewer the question ;
he then said he believed he handed into the Committee at
Southampton a list, in which he required not 901., but be-
tween 50/. and 601.

Mr. Wrenn was then asked to state the names of voters on
his list, but he declined to answer. The Clerk told him he
most answer, and he then said who they were.
Mr. AUSTIN then cross-examined Mr. Wrenn as to whe-
ther he had not given certain information to the Liberal party.
Mr. Wrenn denied this insinuation, and was permitted to
iv. it hdraw.
Captain Ward, the Chairman of the Conservative Com-
mittee, was then examined. lle never paid a farthing
towards the expenses of the election, except, he be-
t eyed, the price of a box of lucifer matches.—(Laughter )
He gave the cause only his time and labour, and knew nothing
about payments of money of any kind on account of the elec-
tion. Ile never told Mr. Mabsun to send him a certain cheque-
book, or any other book or document, and had no recollection
whatever of receiving one from him in the month of January,
or about four months after the election.

Mr. COCK et; /LN said, theevid;neeOlt he missing cheque-book
was of the utmost importance to the petitioners, and they must
by every means trace it.

After some delay Mr. llabson was re-called, and examined by
Mr. COCK BU R N—You have said you sent certain documents
connected with the late election to Captain Ward within four
months after the election ? I did, but I cannot say by whom.
Is the person by whom you sent the cheque-book still in your
employment ? No ; for I have lately given up my business.
At length witness named Re&de, Penny, Frampton, and
Aornsley, men employed by him, as having ylived near Captain
Ward's place; and he might or might not have sent the parcel
by one of those. No one told bins to send the cheque-book to
Captain Ward, but witness knew that to him, as Chairman of
the Committee, all documents and books connected with the
election were to be sent; and having met this book in regu-
lating his premises, he sent it over to Orchard-lane in January.
The Committee now adjourned.
