V. STATESMAN.

Cross-osamloed by Mr. Swam.—l recollect thy
day to be the 13th of June, by reference to the coin •
mencemont of the electino. I believe that they were
country bank-notes. You were yourself the person
who rot sty vole off: you were the first to object,
and then the returning officer prevented my polling.
I gave evidence in the Committee 'against you, be-
cause you cat Me off in that 141411100 s manner.
Edward Itotmon. son of Ann Busmen, and lon-
in.la or of Thomas nnsenott, was at home an Monday
the 15. h of Jrne. Slept in one of two beds that wets
in the room. My father waggons I. work. My mother
was is the other hod. Mr. Swann cams and asked if her
husband was et home. My mother said he is gone
to work. Ile said, " They are watching me." Ile
took some papers oat of his pocket. Ile threw some
down on my mother's bed, and said, " Take them
up, don't be afraid." As soon as he bad left the
room, the witness took up the notes and counted
them. They were Gee 11. country bauk-notes, [gave
them to my mother.
Cross-ssamined.—l shall be 18 nest November.
There were two beds in the room. There is no
staircase. There was a child in the bed with my
mother; the notes were thrown on the upper part of
the bed. They were nearer my mother than We, but
I sprung out and took them, before her. I am a
writer io Mr. Baker's office. The roll of notes you
held in your bands was perhaps GUI. or 701. worth.
I thought yor meant the other pasty were watching
oa.
Henry Carter, a sorer at. the last election for Pen-
rya, voted for Mr. Saints and Mr. Anderdon ; re-
motobereal seeing Seams on Monday,' the Bth June.
Ile was standing at the door of my neighhosr Ni.
slant's house. Ile asked eneif I had made op my mind
I said, no. 1 sew him sgain on the Thursday, when
1 said I could not make op wry wand. Swann kept
weskit's me, and saying, " Damn it, if is all well to
make up your mind at once; it is as well to do it
one." I kept re.isting he said " I suppose you
want 'lnsley as well as the rest." lie took net
a roll of notes : there were some persons looking
oat at a • issla• : he %aid it Was a rn•if play* to pay
money in: he would give s'. to my wife; be •.sild
Rive me 51. more after the elerlioo, and that Sir C.
Ila•kirt resold give me 101. ni,,re, which would
make 201. Ile then went Win Jenkins's house.
When l came hack my wife gate me a 51. nosy.
On bit crnas•esansination by Mr. Swann, he said,,
I remember Mr. Sesjeant Pell asking me if there
were sostiy such rata es myself at P. nips ; I said
there wire plenty of them at our town-quay, but I
sauced remirmher whs• passed it she Committee. or

on the Mondsa moroo.R; saw them talking smirker :1
after they parted Mr. Swann ruse into tee. He;
said he cud my husband tad heels salkiog together ; '

Cross esamisrail.—She said, *Leo I met you with
Mr. Dyson, I did not make any representation of
our poverty; it teas a lwelrenionth before; Ik
better than that; I drys pal up to it before. Why, you
knew it was elociinneering time, and one is tint to
oak for this.gs at each a lime as that. When I did
sok you In Rite me sourestisiug, it was before lawyer
John's door, a twelvemonth before: I told you, if
yea could waist me bet with a shilling, I would
thank you: but you then said yno cnuld'ort. and
you would'ut. When I rapt Ina with Mr. Dime,
we only talked of my lies arid', vote. Your call no
one with Mr. Earle was after the election: you asked
me, wheiber 1 was the good lady you had given the
51. note to. I said, " You know, Mr. Swann, you
did:" yno said, " I don't know, 1 may have for-
gotten it." You are very welcome, Mr. Swann, to
get any body to remember more of that conversation;
you woold'ist have so many enemies as you have, if
you had not been so much net to sour avoid: you
were net a gentleman to your word to many pastier-
tars : it won't do to go ton far, you know, Mr.;
Stisotn; hut I know that you were not to your word.l
and I don't think I need go on any farther; mod I
won't, that's more.

come out of Carter's house ow the day is. g0v0i..1.,
Carter, I know, was not at home; I saw his wife
jest afterwards, and know that she was at home at'
the time Swann went in.
Juba Bray voted for Mr. Asidetdon and Sir C.
Hawkins; saw Swann on Tuesday morning at the
Orvieto ; he said to me, l• I dot wan. you. I want

and left Swann with my wife. He had salted we the

other four pounds in my baud, and he said he would
Rite me 151. afterwards to tote for him rod Sir Chiia-
topher, but only I.H. if he only voted for Auderdon
and him. Mr. Swann said, "1 depend on you to
outcome your husband : emery wife can overcome
I her husband; mine door me."
.

Jenkins.—l gave Mr. Swann a note of band
far 201. 1 gave it him for having paid 201. to one
Wm. Meson fur me. The note was here pat in sad
proved : it was as follows :
" 4th ea, of Matra, 1811.-1 prosim to pay Retry
Some, care orcrorrd.
(sigma)
A osemosandern written on it, dated April 10, 1811,
stated the consideration of this note to be a note
drawn by Jenkins on Swann, in favour of Glsson,
and accepted by Swann, who afterwards paid it.—
This inemoroustutn was signed by Swann. Never
heard of the Dote spin till the election. Mr. Swarm
came on to um and said, " I want yes to tell ml
your mind, I will tell you mine." I asked him what
he would give? Ile said he would give me up tM
note of heed, ii. towards paying the Poor Rate,
and a handsome provst, besides three or four
pound is the winter tio.e, if business should fall
sleek, it I would give him my vote at the election.
—I told him I would have it before the votiog day.—
I new him the same smilax. he told me then to
erme the nest morning, and 1 should have it. I sac
him nest morning; we went into, little street, called
Bark lone: he took a small piece of paper, be asked
me it it was not my signing, he then rook it, tore it
in two, sod pave me the part which had my signatore
to it. I took it to a friend, thinking it not the right
paper; an consequence of *bat my friend said, I went
to iwoon nest morning, and said you have not
treatod re q rep right. I told him 1 did not think
he had weed me cell ;he said. Go to hell and be ;
ri—d." I saw hint two or three days alter-
nerd, he said he did not care though I voted
seirsat him. I mid if he would Moro me the
form of hand, I would vole for him. Ile slid no.
thing Oleo, hut afterosols, on 18 h June, l got the
ante of /lurid; .1,. J bu G•rotleve gay' it ea... Mt.
Goodeve did not give me the note the 61. i time bel
s.w me, et rch •as in my ~an bons,. Ilia order
from Mr. Swann sere to show me the note, but not
to give it to me. I saw his at his own know the
earns evening ; he took sat the note, and gee, it sae
then asked for the 11. nem' and the handsome pre-
sent. Ile said he knew nothing of the handsome pre.
sent, hut he would give me the 11. note. Afterwards
I saw S nnnn who asked me VI was contr., ed then :
I said not. This is the piece of the 201. bill which I had
draw,, on Mr. S•unn, in favour of Glavin, end
which hr give me falsely, pretending it to be the note
of baud I bad givea him, •ud skids was still in force.
Crossmaamined by Mr. Swann.—l bed voted for
you,' no kno ir,Mr.Soonn ; audio you ordered Glavin
in be paid oat of your generosity, yew know I had
alway, paid alit 1 owed the man. 1 did lint want
you to pay my debts; yno knew that I &rill with
Mr. Glason, !moose you knew all shoot the poor
people at that time; but I gave no order to Mr. John
about the mooey ; be was ordered to pay for it, but
I could base p4ll for it myself if that bad been ell.
I never fulloeerl you about fur the promissory-note
—bey, never asked you about it. My son we. pre.
sent when you had this conversation with me.—
Never boord yes say any such words in 41 life as
that you did not cue a farthing about it, bat that
you would not give it up at that time. 1 vow by
the other pieces of paper it. this way. Tom Wille's
wife saw you tear it up. She picked up the pieces:
her husband pasted them on brown piper, and gave
them to me. When you said, " 1 don't care if yint
vote against me," you added, " I will put the note
of hand in force against you." I took the note to
my own house. Mr. Anderdotr's friend come to ate
and salted for the ante. I said yes, if they would
give me the money I woold let them bare the note,
and that they should have it again when the Dote
sonold be ',mined to me.
Peter Jenkins, the younger, corroborated the
above.
Mary Wills, the wife of Thomas Wills. remembers
seeing Mr. Swann and Peter Jenkins about ire or
sic o'clock in the morning. In the back lane by St.
'lhnines.streel. I saw Mr Swans had a paper in his
hand, which he lore, and I went directly and picked
up she paper Mr. Swaim threw away. I carried it
into my husband : he pasted it upon a piece of browu
paper: is the paper.
Thomas 11 itlt deposed to the same fact.
Here the faNe closed on the pert of the promotion.
Mr. Swann, who was his own counsel on the oc-
casion, then made I long address to the Court, which
as it was for tire most part entirely irrelevant, we
forbear from noticing at length, more portico.
