eonded the motion of the Hon. and Learned 7tlemlu'r fei
Bath, and who challenged a most setaehiug
into the facts, if the borough of Lewes were excluded.
In fairness to him it could not be excluded, more part'
cularly as his Hon. and Learned colleague (Mr:Eli-thin'
stone) stated in the House that to his knowledge litiberi
had been committed at the election for that place...
After a few words from Sir T. D. ACLAND,- 2
Sir J. WALSH said, that he understood the ripq•
Learned Gentleman was proceeding, not upOn qjec„a°
information, but upon general report, and that-he a's"
claimed all party view s.—(Cheers.)
begged to bring to the recollection of thenHeo; ustbe;.‘l.:feoasre't
which had excited considerable attention at the close of
last year, and with regard to which it .had_-been
surmised that a compromise had taken: -Pfie'
He meant the case of Bridport.—(llear, hear.)' Th"-,
who knew him were aware that he did not bring forward
this case from any hostile feelings, but he thought the
case cf Bridport ought to be taken into considerattota.
Mr. C. BULLER thought that the inquiries would be
incomplete if a case so notorious as that of Bridpolli
excluded from the operation of the Committee;,
begged, therefore. to move that Bridport should,. be
eluded in the motion.

Sir ROBERT PEEL thought that inquirtgiot.
nature ought not to be instituted without notice. I!
Honourable and Learned Member
,1341.'"
had given notice of his motion ; if the course tio*. Pro.
posed was to be adopted, the names of places might
added ad libitum, and the Committee woula. be over'
loaded with business. He still retained the otbjeetien be
had stated to the motion of the Hon. and Le'arnediGeri.
tlernan, as he thought it ought to appear rdistinctly '3.11
the Journals, that the House had been inforMed that 10
certain places corrupt practices appeared. As theji.
and Learned Gentleman had adopted a suggestion, he
had thrown out, he was ready to accede to the. nipt°l4
but at the same time he must expresso, wish that AJituw
more time had been taken to place it in" a thote.,deliDite

way upon the Journals of the House.
