That the balaue .of the Petkliamentarylmte
in the Exchequet is consequently 43;7391.
The Committee, after the best inquiries they '
wire able to make, resolved to recommend the
payment of certain balances due to the trades-
men, whose bills were either within the original
estimates delivered, or the excess of whose bills
above their estimates was satisfactorily explained. I
These balances amounted to 11,6081.95. 7d.
Messrs. Morel and Sedon had been paid the.
full amount of their estimates, 143,0001; but the
bills by them delivered were for the sum of
203,9631. and a balance was consequently claimed
of 60,9631.

The committee felt that they were why in-
capable of fixing any value on the furniture so
provided, and yet that they could not be justified
in advising the payment of so large an excess
over the original estimates, without endeavouring
to obtain further information. Certain charges
for different articles of furniture, to which the
attention of the committee had been specially di-
rected, were, at their recommeneation, submitted
by the Treasury to the culmination of competent
judges, who, ho'wever, alter a preparatory infpec-
Con of the same, declined a task which ilterccinsiJ
dered themselvfs wholly incapable of performing,
IThe committee having thus failed Man disrupt)
to value those selected Articles of ferniture,.whick
lmigllt have been a criterion of whether the gene-

ral charges in the bill were or were not extrava-
gant, at length entered into an arrangement with
Messrs. Morel and Seddon, that they should deli-
ver a statement of the sums actually by them ex-
pended in labour, materials, and trade charges,
' and the profit to the accruing ; this statement to
be verified by the elimination of their honks, by
an seconiptant to be appointed by the treasury.
Mr. Abbott was consequently appointed ; and
after due consideratioa of different reportspresented
by him, and the answers thereto made by Messrs.
Morel and Seddon, and after the examination of
many witnesses as to the fair profit which ought to
be charged by upholsterers for such costly and ela-
borate furniture, your Committee report, that the
bill of Messrs. Morel and Seddon, orignally,
amounting to 203,9651. 61. sd. should be dimi-
nished to 179,3001. 18s. 9d.
Messrs. Morel and Seddon having paid 1,0501.
to the Lord Chamberlain's office, in part of fees,
a practice to which the committee strongly object
in all instances, and to which the Lords Commis-
sioners-of the Treasury have in this case specially,
objected, the Committee recommend that this sum
should be repaid.
The account will be as follow :

buns as may be repaid by the Lord Chamberlain's
office for fees received.
The committee Inuit that they do not exceed the
duties intrusted to them, if they express an opinion
that a very heavy expense has been incurred for
furnishing Windom Castle, without due regard to
economy, and without sufficient check from the
proper authorities. .
The appointment of a furnishing committee, so
far from realising the expectations of the Lords of
the Treasury, who, in their minute of the 27th
July, 1826, say, ":My Lords receive with much
satisfaction the communication of this arrange-
went, snider 'which they are convinced that the ser-
vice will,, be executed in the manner best suited to
the peculiar nature of it, and mast consistent with
the utmost economy of which such an expenditure
may be susceptible, has, it is to be feared, been
productive of an increased lavish expenditure, ins*.
latch as neither the Treasury nor the Lord Cham-
lierlain'soffice appear to have considered themselves
responsible, while the members of the furnishing
committee did not supply any adequate chetk on
this extravagant waste of public money.
The committee strongly deprecate practice of
establishing any irresponsible boards, who thus re
lieve the proper authorities from the peformance or]
duties which strictly belong to their official situa-
tions.

He then explained the duty of sheriffs at elections, as Ll.'
down in the 63d chap. of the act of Cie& IV. in the arrane,

former Dublin election they had acted legally and satimaro.
tidy, on the ptwent they had actedin a directl) contrary way.
notwithstanding every remonstrance. On the former elec-
tion, at Sergeant O'Lougiden's instance, they had divided
the 2,400 treeholden into three booths of 800 each, ac.
cording to the freeholders' initials in the alphabet. On the
present election the sheriffs had so managed the booth.,
that the reform candidates, instead of polling 240 voter:
on the first day, polled only 106, to the great detriment
of :heir cause, foe the system adopted was, to have only
two booths fur the 240 freeholder& is the freemen's hood,.
No. 1, Mr. Hinds piedded, and commented fairly, polling G
by 6 for each party; he proceeded in this course, but in a short
time he changed it without apparent reason, and adopted a
course that gave Shaw and Ingestrie an undue p nce
on the poll for the first re days. In another booth . Moore
presided, andplacerds were adopted to designate the respect it e
It was found in this booth that tallies with the re.

and Ingestrie's placards, exhibited as a ruse on one occa.
soon, succeeded in drawing Mr. Moore's attention and
admission to that batch of freemen to vote, till it was
discovered that it was only done to try his bias, and Mr.
Shaw wee sitting at Mr. Moore's back, and conversing with
hinroontinuall_y during this period ! Another plan of delay
was adopted. The registry clause was read over so slowly by
Shaw and Ingesttle, by their two agents, twice to cacti
voter, (their own as well as their opponents,) that three
voters were only taken in fifty-seven minutes 1 On one
occasion the Sheriff came In and told his deputy that be
was reading the same clause too fast ! buch was the
policy of the present members to gain time, which they well
knew would eventually gain the election. He then argued
the ineligibility of the Recorder to sit in Parliament,
and eloquently deprecated the dreadful effect of such an
example in the putte of justice, which the Recorder (a,
the supreme judge In criminal matters in Dublin) exhi.
lifted in the attainment of his ambition by the most corrupt
awl unwarrantable MUM. lie would, most probably, in
ldb judicial capacity,• be obliged to pronounce sentence on
some of the wretched beings whom his agents had, by their
bribes, thrown into circumstances of riot, drunkenness,
and crime ! He begged to add one 'word more. The act
for the regulation of-fees in election cases only allowed to
each candidate one barrister in each court, at a emu.
neratioa of 601. and ten guineas a day. If more barristers
were emplod at a greater expense, (and be would prove that
there were In this case), it would amount to bribery. He
then read a charge of Lord Tonged's% in Sir F. Burdetes
case, legal rule for the presumption of guilt in
casearigrnrcutstantial evidence, where the guilty appear.
ances are uncontraditted or unexplained, and epplied it to
the 'present ease, to be proved In evidence. He also read
authorities to show. that if bribery be traced to an agent in
