It was an issue to try whether the( Plaiut • ff, Res- WI, WAS duly eleae.l to the' office of Ceurchware. der of the perish of tae Holy ftini y, within this • town.• Mr. Se rj sant l•••H F !I X IMF, ;tlao con the - emcee for the rafted the question te be submitted to the Jan', ohievired, that the Ifielindant‘ Mr. Nlartyr, was the rival candidate fur the ofl e of Churchwarden. When he considered who Mr. Martyr was, that he was a geaderniin ot tontine and respeilebtlity, that he had been Meyor of the town. and enjoyed many ()the s of their civic honours, anal that he bad also been, for eleven years lest pee. the Churchwarden of the perish, and held the place now in litigation, he ceuid not help thaileng thet there must be some vale able r e f vi e to h e eas eeeo free. haps Mr. Mat was I.lll*llivtg that any sae should • rival him in conferring those beilefi'a upon his mesa awn, which he alone had been used to confer twin them. Wilaterer the motives might be. ter' 'u was, that :his office of Choi chwardee„ which gene thenen in general were most glad to decline front accepting. in this tnwti of Goildtoid had some secret charms, which nude It eagerly coorted. But al 0011kh Mr. Many - • the efen dant, had kept the office fur eleven years, it was, neveriletess. an mortal of tice. and the parishioners Met every Easter 1 War to renew their election. •In Purim-once of tins cus torn, they met last Easter Pill e•diie. aid the cendie *. dates were, Mr. Ilussel, the and Air. Mare tyr, the Defendant.. It was teen agreed by the Vestry assembled. teat the poll should be kept open until four o'clock on the fueeley, and so it as; for just at four o'cloi k, while the church clecic was aduelly striking. a pi-rson WAI suhseriheeg :Fit lian' in the poll-hook, as a voter f'r Mr. Maerr Bet Mr. Martyr's friends finding he was thee behind n numbers, heisted dirt the poll should not th••n claw, and they argued for tins absurd proposeien, ti at it mutt be kept open as long as -ale one vete , remeio- IA unrolled, or the candeietes iii,l not mu udlit agree to close it. • So. that it was in the power of any one obstinate voter to keep the elietlion unde cided to eternity, by saying—" Here, I am ; 1 am a voter, and intend some tame to vote, vitten it shall snit my pleasure ; hut, in the mea n time, yon shalt keep the poll open until it dies suit my pleasure." In Taft. on the day of election, there remained but two eaters unpelied, eat doe of them was an old woman, wan did not know for whom she %yr +e brought to the church., For being pit upon the table, she exclaimed.—=" Owed. Lord, wow arts I to do here Goecires" said 'Ley, i• don't you remember your old : friend. Mr Marys you must vote for him.yeeii Remember him," slid the old woman. o Aye, G.J hless him, I remember him is the Batouge ever since he was as high as my knee. To be sure I'll vete fur him."—And thus, his Learned Friend must contend, that they wets bound to wait for all the odd women in the parish, who were in the interset of Mr. Martyr. It being, however, found, that. this would net do, Mr. etartyr's friends had tee course to another expeiient ; though dee chirrets clock had struck tour, they said, the town clock , wetted a router. I his might be se; and a chi& sometimes was regulated for a particular purpose. instead of the clock itself regulating that purpose, and having aded by the parish clock, die Vestry was perfealy justified in attending to that, rather then the other. Another objeCtion was thee started ; that the town had no notice of the Vestry, and trot know that any hills were placarded tabour tee streets ; g but he behaved it was as r otorious to all the inhabit ants that the vestry was met, as that they were now if trying that cause . In short , M r. Mart y r was fitted! ' votes behind, and the town might prove their bad taste and want of judgment in refusing to continue Mr. Martyr their Chuichwarden, yet they had so done, and their choice was law en this subj,a. Mr. Sturt, the Towti- Cie. produced the poll tweet, by which it appeared, that at the last eleation for etiureleivareen, the numbers were in forme of Mr. Ruhel, by a majority of 17. On the open d • of the poll on Faster Monday, it was agreed by tt Vestry that they would consider at the end of that day how long it shoolt be continued open. And accordingly. at the end of the dad', they resolved that it should continue open until four o'clock the next day. On croiseexaminatine as so the mode in which this reselutien was iakt.ll. it Appeared. that the sesta of the Vestry was rot takes by any regular question being rut to them ; but that it appeared by the sense of the m .jority that it should be so.— This was confirmed by other Witnesses ; and one Witness, of the nam. of Jones, sad. he :gaminy pet a question upon it; out he edinitted, that he put the (re:sties on the affirmative side on:y, and s,ot on the negative. A long discussion ensued among the Counsel he the cause, re.ethipe, under these circumstances, tie sense nt toe majerity of the Vestry was takes or not. Ile Learned Judge (flatten) was clearly of opi nion that it was ere, end that therefore the clesing of the poll was without authority, aid the ele9ion imperfect; he, of course. dinged the Jury so to find ; but the Jury hesitated a long time, and or last, when they delivered their verdiel, they said they had no doubt of the sense el the Vestry being so; bet they found their rerchet at the express die reaioa of his Lordship.
