reformers waited upon the Right Honourable Edward
Stoat, when a regulation signed by 2,224 registered an-
ion was presented to him by Thomas Oisborne, Esq., with
the confident expression of his belief that Mr. Strait would
be returned. In addition to this number of votes pledged to
Mr. Shutt, several hundreds bad promised to vote for him it
he cams out; and as the Weeleyang and the whole dis-
senting body had determined to exert every nerve to prevent
Mr. Mundy's election, Mr. &nitro return was considered
arta°. Mr. Stoat, however, feeling doubtful as to the re.
suit, and having exprewed his de'ermination not to fight a
doubtful contest, declined the honour.
YO•Widay Mr. MUNDY was accompanied to the hustings
by • large number of tory gentlemen —E. S. C. PuLa,
Esq.,proposed, and the Hon. and Rev.A. CURZON Decoded,
Mr. Mundy as a proper person to represent them in parlia-
ment. —No other candidate being nominated, the High She-
riff declared Mr. Mandy sleeted .

coming festival. and that the list of stewards, at present
hcadrd by the Duke of Buoeleuch and Lord John Hassell,'
