RETURN 01, BOROUGH MEMBERS FREE OF Ex•
enNac.—On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebooe
sentry, two separate memorials, one from inhabitants of
Oxford-street, and another signed by a large body of
electors, were presented to the vestry, asking them to grant
the use of thecourt-house for a public meeting, to adopt
measures to secure the return of Sir H. Hall and Lord
Dudley Stuart, on account of the satisfactory way iu whreh
they represented the borough, free of expense.—Mr. Whit-
more moved that the prayer of the memorialists be granted.
He had pleasure in taking this opportunity of expressing
his hearty concurrence in the political views and opinions of
the honourable members of this borough ; but, irrespective
of his political pripoilcctions, he was glad of the opportunity
of giving his bumble support to the memorials, for the simple
reason that he COIICLiVL,I a great, influential, and important
borough like Merylebone ought to take the initiative in a
proceeding which appeared to him the best way of putting
an end to that system of bribery and corruption which so
extensively exisred in other place., and of which the
country bad of late had such lamentable evidenee.—Mr.
(home Mellaluo' Mr. Clement Georpe, and Mr. Nicholay
supported the motion, which was carried unanimously.
