" Mr. Hoblimise has been invited to, and has attended all these Meetiugs; he has beats recessed with CW114.114 , 111, and in his sperm lies lie has Avis his intimate knowledge of, and exposed the system win:lied by the Gusernment, and has declared liiinaelf a Radical Reformer.

" In the present proceedings there has been, in one re aper% a deviation hoist the plan hitherto pursued by the Electors of Westminster.

" Even the hustings, winch were said to lie the property of those who could destroy and carry them uff, and about a loch furious and disgraceful contests were held, have been pre. served by the exertions of YOUR Committees, and those dis graceful contests prevented. The Report then adverts at some length to the disgraceful outrages which formerly attended the 11'estminster Elections, and the enormous expen diture which was lavished ul such OCeJt.IOIIS. It states that a sum of , 200,000/ was spent by the Court Candidate, uud that it was even said hie opponent elicountered nearly the same charce.
