At Bow Street, on Wednesday, Mr. Le Breton, solicitor, and Mr. Horne, one of Mr. Leader's Committee, attended on behalf of Mr. Leader's Committee, to inform the sitting Magistrate that considerable fear was entertained of a breach of the peace at the poll to be taken the at at day. Mr. Dean deposed, that be had seen a partisan of Sir Francis 13todett distributing sovereigns to Burn, Jack Adams, and Flank Redman (at whose house Sir Francis Burdett'sCommittee were sittioga) and to several other fighting men, who were ordered to attend at the polling-places at six o'clock on Thursday morning, and were de- sired to bring others with them. Another respectable voter deposed, that he had picked up one of the sovereigns, which were scattered about by the same person. Sir F. Roe said that the matter rested with the High Bailiff of Westminster, whose duty it was to protect the voters against haimidation : he recommended the solicitor to wait on him ; and as-tared the deputation, that, on receiving notice from the High Bailiff, he would grant the assistance of the officers of his establish- ment to preserve the peace. [Redman, in a letter to the Chronicle this mottling, denies that he bad any of Burdett's sovereigns.]
