GRAMPOUNO.
On the motion of the Earl of latvcaroot., the Order
of the Day was read and Counsel called to the Bar, to
examine witnesses.
Mr. ALDERSON then appeared in support, and Mr.
Avast against the Bill. The Learned Gentlemen has,
ine: taken their stand at the Bar, as in cases of
Appeals,
Ilse LORD CHANCELLOR ath!ressed them
Alderson and Mr. Adam you have both gut on the
wrong side.
The House laughed. and the Learned Gentlemen
I:astened to set themselves both in the right.
The following witnesses were then called up and
evituined by Mr. At.nnastax, and cross-examined by
Mr. Anal,' !lore, Alderman of the Bo-
rough of Gratnponnti ; George Hunt, Agent to Sir
Nlanaseh Lopes; Thomas Coole, Clerk of the Poll ;
John Teed, oue of the Candidates: John Edwards,
Attornev at Truro; and Walter Pomeroy, draper and
Dissenting Minister.
Mr. At.neasox then stated, that lie wished to offer
1,1 evidence the records of the indiettnent and convic-
tion of Sir Mattasch Lops, and the Grampound Elec-
tors. who bad been found guilty of bribery and
corruption.
The Earl of CARVARVON suggested, that the
114).111194m of the original records and of official co-
pies would cause an expense of 200/. and occasion
much delay ; the House might perhaps be satisfied with
those which were already on the table, and proved to
he authentic and correct by those by whom they were
made. If this course were adopted, as In' untletstood
that Mr. Adam dill oat intend to call any witnesses
against the Bill, it was probable that the whole case
could be closed to-morrow.
The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that it was
the practice of the House to have the original Records
submitted to its view, and an official copy left for its
consideration. As, however, the indictments and con•
vlctions for corruption against the Grampottnd Elec-
tors were all the same, be thought that the produc-
tion of two of them, with all admission on the part of
01; Counsel against the Bill, of their identity with
ae rest, might us considered sufficient. As the easel
of Sir Manaseh Lopes was wholly distinct, the record
of his indictment and conviction must also be pro-
d.tced. In this manner, both time and expense would
Le saved.
The Counsel on both aides assented, and after it hail
ben ovlered, on the motion of the Loan CH4NCELLO
ea: the case be resumed to-morrow at four o'clock, the
ifonse Adjourned.

certain Commissioners, to levy on the goods of the
Noble defendant the sum of 1831., derived by the
Master's report to be due to the plaintiff, on Mr. Pen-
neger, his Grace's Solicitor, might be considered good
Service. He had an affidavit that the order of seques-
tration was served un Mr. Penneger, and that he Under-
took to show cause why the order should not be made
absolute.
'flue Lonn CHANCri.l.oß.—That service willnot do;
there is nothing attached to the rank of a Peer that
ought to deprive him of the right of personal service.
Mr. flArr.---Then we must endeavour to find the
N Ade Duke, and serve him personally.-3lotion
