Disbound. [Report from the Select Committee on the Belfast Election Compromise; together with the Minutes of Evidence] In 1842 a Select Committee was appointed to inquire whether corrupt Compromise has been entered into, for the purposes of avoiding an investigation into gross and extensive bribery, and gross and corrupt Personation of Voters, and consequent Perjury, alleged to have taken place at the late election in Belfast, They were instructed to inquire whether such bribery and Personation had actually taken place, and were empowered to Report the Minutes of Evidence taken before to the House. The Committee determined: -That it should be admitted that the last Election was avoid Election; -That gross bribery and extensive Corruption prevailed at the last Election for Belfast; -That there also existed gross and corrupt Personation of Voters, whose names appear upon the Registry as entitled to vote, though they had lost heir qualifications by death, removal or otherwise; -That four individuals of bad character were brought into Belfast from monaghan, a distance of about 40 m9iles, to personate on the part of the conservatives, disqualified persons, and that they were furnished with clothes, liquor and money for their guilt and that they consummated their guilt by awful perjury; -That the Compromise had the effect of excluding the from the Committee evidence of such bribery and Personation, and consequent Perjury. Although the Sitting Members were not connected with or Participant in that compromise; -There was no Evidence to connect the late sitting Members, or either of them, with knowledge of the existence of such personation, nor of the Bribery practices in their behalf, nor is their any evidence to connect the Defeated Candidates with knowledge of such bribery committed on their behalf; -That the present state of the Registry of Electors in Belfast was most objectionable, the state of the Register induced the practice of a system of Bribery, Perjury and Personation, which occurred at the late Election for Belfast, and all Parties in Belfast concur in expressing strong desire that some legislative remedy should be appilied to this grievance. 152pp. Disbound, housed in a protective file

Disbound. [Report from the Select Committee on the Newry Borough Election Petition: and also the Minutes of Evidence taken before them] In the matter of the Petition of Dennis Maguire, Esquire, of Newry, in the County of Armagh, one of the Candidates at the last election for a Member to serve in Parliament for the Borough of Newry, complaining of an undue Election and Return for the said Borough, the Committee determined;- That the Honourable Arthur Marcus Cecil Hill, commonly called Lord Arthur Marcus Cecil Hill, is duly elected a Burgess to serve in the present Parliament for the Borough of Newry;- That the Petition of the said Dennis Maguire does not appear to be frivolous or vexatious;- That the opposition to the Petition does not appear to be frivolous or vexatious. The Committee also came to the resolution that although it had not been proved that the sitting Member was implicated by the existence of unlawful practices during the late election for the Borough of Newry, it appears that a system of bribery prevailed there to a considerable extent, in which certain Members of a club called The Union were concerned; and the Committee wished to direct the attention of The House to the part taken in these transactions by James Lisle and other Electors. 50pp. Disbound, housed in a protective file
