to he ballot being over, the several barristers, at-
t-eYs, &c., withdrew into one of the Committee-
;(l4lB to reduce the list. From the number eleven

Mr. O'Connell's return, such as bribery; in-
tho-k."tion, on the part of die priests, in denouncing

netig:ttkols, except that which declared Mr. 0 Coti-
