Disbound. [Longford Election. Copy of the Shorthand Writer’s Notes of the Judgement Delivered by Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, and of the Minutes of the Evidence taken at the Trial of the Longford Election Petition. (1870.)] Report, Petition, Judgement and Minutes of Evidence of the Trial of the Longford Election Petition, in which Thomas Broderick, Michael Lynch, Alexander Birne and Edward Duggan were petitioners, and the Honourable Reginald Greville-Nugent, Respondent. The trial commenced on 28th March, 1870 and terminated on 7th April, 1870. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald came to the following conclusions: The last election for the county of Longford was a void election. The Honourable Reginald Greville-Nugent was not duly elected to serve in Parliament for the said county of Longford. The election was void in consequence of the Honourable Reginald Greville-Nugent having, by his agents, practised corrupt treating before and at the said election. It has not been proved that any corrupt practise was committed personally by the Honourable Reginald Greville-Nugent, or with his knowledge or consent. The corrupt practise of treating prevailed before and at the said election. Several persons have been proved at the trial to have been guilty of the corrupt practise of treating before and at the said election. Reverend Patrick Fitzgerald was found guilty of undue influence at the said election. John Martin esq., was put forward and proposed as a candidate at the said election; and that persons professing to act on the part of, and in the interest of, the said John Martin, resorted to the unlawful and very dangerous practise of bringing into the said County of Longford large numbers of persons from the neighbouring counties of Roscommon, Leitrim, Cavan, Westmeath, for the purposes of unduly influencing the election by intimidation. On market days for two or three weeks prior to the election and on the day of the election a considerable number of strangers were thus brought into the county of Longford, who were described by one of the witnesses as “regular rowdies”, up to anything, and prepared for any kind of violence. With the aid of these strangers a system of intimidation and violence was organised and carried into operation against those who were likely to support the said Honourable Reginald Greville-Nugent. This intimidation and violence interfered with the freedom of the said election. In order to counteract such an unlawful course the agents of the Honourable Reginald Greville-Nugent organised considerable bodies of non-electors of the county of Longford to act on his part in preventing his supporters from being intimidated, and to protect them from violence, while proceeding to the poll. Such employment was in itself a considerable danger to the public peace, and led to an extensive system of treating. It did not appear that John Martin was aware of, or in any manner sanctioned, the before-mentioned unlawful proceedings. 268pp. Disbound, housed in a protective file
