/ / R 111 randums into this~ book. 2523. You took some time to arrange your memoranda, and to put them in proper order in this book ; but, except that time, you were employed in' visiting and valuing the houses till you came away ?— Except that time. " 2524. Are the Committee to understand from you that there are many other houses m the city of Cork, occupied by registered'voters under the value of 10/. a year, which you did not visit?— I think there are a great number- but with respect to those which I have taken a memorandum of, I wished to be as particular and as minute in my inquiries respecting them as possible. 2525. You thought it better to be particular, and minute and accurate, with regard to the testimony you should bear, respecting the houses you did visit, than' to visit a very large number in a superficial way ?— 1 thought it best to do so. 2526. Mr. Beamish.'] You say when you got your summons you immediately proceeded to make out a list of the houses in such parts of the town as appeared upon the register, who you thought might not have the proper value; was it from your general knowledge of the city that you made that list out?— It was. 2527. And not from any peculiar knowledge of the parties?— It had no refer- ence to the parties whatever. 2528. When you did make out your list, you then proceeded to the different parts of the town to see those houses?— I did. 2529. You stated upon the last day that Mr. Carnagie supplied you with a man who could point out those houses to you ?— He did. 2530. What led you to apply to Mr. Carnagie, or did Mr. Carnagie hear of your being summoned, and send you a man?— I went to him and asked him could he supply me with a man to show me the habitations of the voters, and that it would save me a great deal of time. 2531. Did you ask him to give you a list?— No; I made out the list myself. 2532. You got no information from Mr. Carnagie as to any list that you might make out?— No. 2533. Did Sullivan, who went ivith you, point out any particular parts of the town that you might have omitted ?— He might have suggested ; but I do not recollect. 2534. Do you think he was a likely man to be able to suggest?— Very likely. 2535. And you would be inclined to follow a suggestion of his ?— So far as going to look at such and such houses. 2536. You had that confidence in him ?— It did not require any confidence ; if he told me that such a man in such a lane was a registered voter, and he might sav, Have you it down ? and if 1 had not it down, T might put it down ; but I would look in the registry book before I would go there. 2537. You looked to him to give you information as to where those voters resided ?— He knew where they resided better than I did. 2538. You stated that you were not aware of his being in any way connected with a house of ill- fame ?— I never heard of it, till it was mentioned the last day I was examined here. 2539. You never knew anything about the man till Mr. Carnagie sent him to you?— Never. 2540. Mr. Serjeant Jackson.] Do you know him to be a man of bad character." — 1 do not. 2541. Do you think Mr. Carnagie would have sent you a man of that character — I do not think he would ; I think the man's character is mistaken. 0542. It appears, upon looking through your evidence, that the class of houses you have directed your observation and evidence to consists of houses valued at and under 6/. a year?— It does. . . , 0543. Are there a great number of houses in the city of Cork which might be valued between 61. and 10/., under 10 L, which you have not visited ?• A great many more than I have given evidence of. 22 February 1838.
