OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM
EVESHAM.
In a southerly and westerly direction from the con-
fines of Worcestershire into the heart of Oloucester-
shire, runs the Vale of Evesham, one of the most
highly cultivated and prolific or our English district*.
Take the-whole country t' rough, and no fairer scene
will meet the eye than this expanse of fertile land.
From the Leekhamptoo Hills, above Cheßealism,
from Round-down Hill over Moreton in the Marsh,
and, on the western side, from that glorious range
on which are situated Great sod Little Malvernr—
the corn fields, the orchards, the pastures, and the
smiling villages of this brood valley charm the eye,
the whole country " abounding with exam," and
the eager,' Avon glittering through the midst of it se
"Irks a diver IMO
Phial/about carelessly, it shines afar."
At the northern extremity of this fair valley is a
promontory, or tongue of land,—a spar from the chain
of hills round which the Avon witds its course.
On its summa, overlooking the river and the valley,
to which the hills slope down, there stands all that now
remains of the ancient monastery of Evesham. Of
yore, its mitred abbots sheltered monarchs in its ho►
pnable chambers ; now, a shattered wall, the truces
of a cloister, and one noble tower, that has braved the
ravages of time and civil dircord, alone are lift to beer
witness of their greatness.
The town of Evesham nestles under the eli
monastic rein. It is a place that derives a great
charm from the singularity of its position. The
Avon flows in the shape of a horsy-shoe round the
promontory, leaving the town but one natural ap-
proach, It was in defending this that the battle
of Evesham was lost by the Earl of Leicester, and the
King's authority reestablished in the due of Henry
of Winchester. lhe vales of the bad spa e=
montory being very great for the pturpees
ing, erpecAlly where the aspect is to the south or
west, Ewham, itself contracted into a small space for
a market town, has thrown out a suburb as large
nearly as the town itself. Tel. suburb is situated on
the east side of the river, and is known as Beep-
worth. For all political and municipal purposes it is
united with Evesham, which thus comprises two
towns in one borough.
The Louses in Bengeworth are almost all the
property of Lord Northwick, and this will at owe
account for the circumstance that down troths dose of
the last century a Rushout invariably repthensted
Evesham. In fact, from the Commonwealth to the
year 1790, only three names are to be met with in
the history of Evesham elections. The Rush- I
outs held one gest ; the other wee contested by
the families of Rudge and Rouse, the former
being the representatives of an Alderman oft
London, who bought the abbey lands and settled!
at Evesham about the period of the Restoration ; the
house's being an ancient Worcestershire family of
that name, now represented by Sir William Edward
Rouse-Boughton who was himself the hero (or vic-
tim) of a celebrated Evesham contest.
It war in the year 1790 that an attorney of Eves-
ham, of the name of Lavender, took advantage of
circumstances which at that time occurred, to eats.-
blush direct money influence amongst the electorate. I
He succeeded so well, that he not only opened the
wooed seat at the very first election, but in 1796
i Sir John Rushout himself was unseated, a Mr.
Charles Thelluson, a new candidate, being brought
in at the head of the poll in opposition to him. 'rte
ministry of the day created Sir John Rushout Baron
- Northw.ck, to mitigate his disappointment; but nearly
a quarter of a century elspeed before the Rushouts re-
* appeared as c indidates toe the representation of the
(7 town which they had lost.
97 In the meantime Benham was handed over to the
at local attorneys, who played havoc with the place, and
106 muted for it one of the worst reputations attaching
:11 to any English borough. A regular price was
712 established for the votes flee guineas for
,002 a split vote and ten guineas for a plumper.
762 So recognised and established was the per-
- chase, that in one instance, immediately the vote
Ml was given, a cheque or slip of piper was delivered, at
694
394 the hustings, to t'.e voter, who carried it to the can-
didates banker, by whom "the fee" was immediately
767 paid. The attorneys were not by any means mistime
929 ler who were the candidates, so that they were cone-
patent men, in their se of the word. They wtre ,
107 usually East or West India merchants in London.'
131 Mr. Crawford Bruce, the father of the present Lady
712 Hawarden, was elected with Mr. Thellueon in 1802.
bas Mr. William Manning, a West India proprietor, and
184 Sir Manasseh Massey Lopez, of borough:mongering
24 notoriety, were returned in 1807. But ab rut this '
623 time, the Evesham attorneys began to overshoot
126 their mark. It is impossible for gentry of this
description to keep themselves free from legal
quibbles and epectostions upon the decision of the
courts. The ancient right of election in Evesham
356 was vested in the mayor, aldermen, and capital
267 and common burgesses—the capital burgesses being
464 those elected into the corporation, and the common
3170
burgesses those who derived their right by descent.
47
768 At this eleciion, however, a pretence was set up that
7,27 ell the freeholders within the borough had a right
318 to vote under the charter, and Ste Manasseh Lopez
was accordingly retuned by the soot and lot. A
182 tit petition was the consequence. hhe Belt and Lite
were declared not to possess the right to vote,
38 and Sir Manasseh was unseat. d; his opponent at the
poll, Mr. Humphrey Howorth, obtaining the seat,
which he held from that period down to 1820.
In 1812 Mr. Manning, who was a tory, and Mr.
62 Howorth, who wee a whig, ware returned upon a
)7 cimpromise ; but in 1818 a violent contest occurred
12 in Benham, the candidates being Mr. Howorth, the
10 old member, and Sir Ve m. Rouse Boughton and Sir
)9 Charles Cockerell, as claimants of the seat which
o
Mr. Manning then relinquished. Sir C-arles Cockerel'
3 was the soson-law of the first Lord N .rihwick, and
T came forward avowedly upon his lordship's interest
' in the borough. Sir William Boughton appeared
as " the third" candidate and on independeat
principles. The contest upon this, occasion lasted
12 days, from the 19th of June to the 2nd of July. At
this time the practice cf treating was c irried on to an
enormous extent. Upwards of 20,0001. is mid to
have been nt at this electi in in mere gorging and
One night's suppers ordered by Mr.
Roworth's agent were estimated to cost 7501. For
suppers for • party of 27 at a eines tavern
the bill sent in to the candidate was 1191. 15e., or
upwards of 41. ele. a head. The result of this
most corrupt elect ion was the return of Mr. Howorth sod
Sir W. E. R. Binghton on the poll, the numbers being
for Howorth 410, Boughton 359, Cockerel' 341. But
the losing candidate he ving petitioned the House of
Commons for a scrutiny, Sir William Boughton was
unseated. and his opponent declared the sittii g mem-
ber. This occurred entirely fr. in accident. .4 number
of "paymasters," or soot and lot voters, had polled
for both parties. Sir Charles Cockerell bed objected
to these votes upon the poll of hie ant igonist, bat Sir
Edward Boughton's agent omitted to take the nem-
guy steps for striking them cif the poll upon the
other side. The error being taken advs.. tee. of, the
scrutiny was decided in favour of Sir Charles Cockerel.
In 1820, Mr. Howorth retired. He had spent a
fortune at Evesham, and after all he wt.@ extremely
badly used by those who had the management of his
affairs. In consequence of his resignation, Sir Charles
Cockerell and Sr Edward Boughton were returned
together unopposed. A 'acing was occasioned by
the retirement of the latter on the dirsolte ion of the
parliament in 1826. Two candidates pre*. ate' them-
selves, Mr. Edward Protheroe, Jun., sin of a former
member for Bristol, and Sir Roger Greeley, who
afterwards sat for Derbyshire. Sir Roger Greeley was'
introduced by an attorney, who, at this time, had
succeeded in creating a new and distinct influmcc,
which has since played a very distinguished part in
Evesham. Theparty which he organised called
themselves "The Blues."
" The Blues" consisted of a class of voters of no very
good standing, weeders from both amps, who former:
themselves into a corps having for their avowed ob
loot to take advantage of any peculiarity in tee poi-
' non of either of the ackuowledg. d parties. They were
the very " Swiss" of pal tics, prepared to take which-
ever side would pay them b ist—to range themselves
under any leader who would buy their services.
Sir Roger Greeley came down to Evesham es
the understanding with the " Blue" agent that his!
previous canvass of the voters resident in the I
borough and in Birmingham should cost so more then
3001. If he then liked the prospect sufficiently to go
on, he was to speed what might be required ; and.
Sir Roger placed 5,0001. in the Benham Bank oa
that understanding. Loop he wever ketore iota mfr.
viotta canvass was over, Sr Roger Greeley found
himself exposed to plunder. First of all, he was re-
quested to give " some little suppers." Having stipu-

kW alto the expense of them,hebanded ore r a cheque
for the amount, but of this not a farthing was ewer
paid the publicans, who sent in their bills, for nearly,
doable the amount agreed, to Sir Roger himself, de-
elating
_that they could get nothing from anybeg
Kee. Hint, it seems, Sir Roger was requested to adi.
vanes" a few pounds to some poor fellows who stood
in need of a little assistance." Here area few samples
of the communications made to Sr Roger by hie
agent:
On the of May :
Kr. Geese seam to knew what is to be doss with these
parties whiestamd Oa seed of • tittle oseistones.
Oia the 2Srl at May

peat that the ban of a entail non of money ee tie - ter
which they will give a note of h.nd, will smile their ppeiss
miss and sasses a vete. You must judge as to the
of doing this ; all I can say is, that se awry simeises the
MU Wag
_has taken lime, and been coastaatly dens by
every
Tw eseumrs.
o days after, co the 20th of May, the agent be-
came more imperative :
No steps have been taken to fulfil the magsgemeab with
the three or four per,..ons who want to borrow ma asses of
money on their note, of hand, which, in truth, truer be tent
to them. in order to secure them. I have before ',Anted out
the 11•811wi'Y of immediate attention to this. A sum not
exceeding 1001. would assure ten or twelve promises; and
if you intend to go into the contest with any probability of
BUCltek you muse make up your mind.
On the 2nd of June, the agent not having received
the needful, wrote in the following tone of expostula-
tion and complaint :
I have been store mortillml than you can emotive: instead
of having the 2001 (!) remitted tome, whisk I should have atb
vomited I. small seam, teethe purposed forwarding air Roger's
eisedoe, see ass shil.ing has area seat me ; sad I have

day the corporation have been admitting freemen. Kr.
Protherae lent every man the mosey to take it up, bet the
devil a shilling bad I to lend, and of course our friends could
not be admitted. Sir Boger has asked me for en account ei
what I have expended, although we agreed at 3001. How
can he expect that I an make out an account at such a time
a, this. What has mortified me move than common is, that
I had not SOL to lend a 'alma man for a purpose that might
ablaut ly gala bias a good property.
Sir Roger not liking these communications, and
other appearances connected with the contest, very
wisely retired from the town, leaving Sir Charles
Coekerell and Mr. Protheroe to obtain the election. Of
course, the blue at orney was " thoroughly disgusted •
with Sir Roger Oreeley's conduct, and assailed him
in no measured language.
At the dissolution of 1830 Mr. Protheroe informed
the electors that he must decline to contest the town
again, as "he could not submit to lend himself
to so vicious and abominable a system as that
which prevailed in it." " I plainly acknowledge,"
said he, my desire to renew our connexion. Uwe
is no inemistency in this. With you, gentlemen, I I
never had the slightest cause of dissatisfaction. It is
with the old system of your borough that I quarrel :
1 with that unjust system, which, after faithful and dili-
gent service, accompanied by manly independence and
disinterestedness in every speech and every vote,
leaves me no hope of being re-elected, unless I conde-
scend to trafficfor my seat with those who barter away
your privileges." This letter was a heavy blow and a
great discouragement to the wbig agents. For a long
time they could not get a candidate. It was only,
indeed, when it was too late, that through the instru-
mentality of the present Sir John Easthope, Mr. Alex-
ander Raphael was brought down to Evesham.
The tit ction which followed nearly led to the die-
Aisement of the borough.
