EENTINODON ELECTION.

On the members chosen to serve tin this election com-
mittee
Tee gIVIAIII.II reed a letter which he bad needled
bum Sir Z. Daring, ono of the committee eating
that he bed recently been suffering from fll-health ;
that he had been abroad by the advice of Dr. Latham, his
medical man, mad although he was so far recovered as to be
competent to discharge the ordinary duties of attending ths
home he wee not yet sufficiently mimed to be enabled to take
aa prounted scrutiny ouch as that which was likely to
rise in lke Huntingdon case.
A discusses arose as to the proper mode of proceeding in
Roe of this letter; It !appeared front a statement of Mr.
Walpole, chairman of the general committe of elections,
that the hon. bare had endeavoured to obtain his discharge
from the election committee through the instrumentality of the
general committee, but that body thought they had not power
to shed the relief required, and hence the necessity for re-
terries the matter to the superior authority of the Ileum.
Mr. Walpole now prowled that Mr. Latham should be
called to the bar and eateeineil upon the hon. baronet's state
of health; but Sir George they objected to that course,
believing that, in aceordame with the act of par-
liament, there was no other alternative open but
to have Sir E. Hering sworn at the table, leaving it for the
election committee to move the house that be be discharged
from further attendance in the committee. Sr E. Doing,
who wee present thole; the dimension, said he had no wish
to shirk this inquiry, but he was apprehensive his health
might break down under the fatigue of attending the com-
mittee from dvy to day, and that was why he had made the
application to the houm in the first instance. Ultimately
Dr. Latham wee rolled in, and he gave it as hie opinion
that the hon. bareeet, although well enough to be
in his seat, wee yet far from sufficiently strong
to admit of his encountering the fatigues of the
repo/eel inquiry. His decided belief was that he
would sink under it. It was therenpoe agreed that the
attendance of the hon. Inman should be dispensed
with, and the order fur swearing the committee was dim
&weed. The discuseion upon this personal matter extended
le nearly an hour; Mr. Roebuck, the Attorney-General,
le W. Heathrote' Bert., Sir Jae. Pakington, Sir'
0. Grey, Bart., and Sir J. Reamer taking part in it. The
melt of the discussion will be the re-speoinemseit of the
lhatingdon (comity) election committee.
MR. MERRY'S PETITION.
Mr. COBBETT moved that the petition of Mr. Merry, the
umber ter Falkirk, be referred to the general committee of
anima with instructions to inquire into the truth of its
eargatiens. The petition mumbles of Irregelarities in
mimeses to the recognisance, put is for presenting the
*inn spina Mr. M!!'s venue
The motion wag oposW by Mr. WALPOLE and Sir W,
Stammer?, and it was ultimately withdrawn.
THE CASE OF hilt. SOMEItS, M.P.

Ur. I. BL TT resented another petition on the subject
tit ke criminal proceedings in the Court of Queen's Beuth,
Ireland, arising out of the last election for Sligo.
Thep Ition wee read, as oleo certain resoled:ma agreed to
by the house on the 26th January, 1703, and the hon. and
horned gentleman then moved that the proper officers of the
biela Court of tluern'a Bench be required to make a return
of all the proceedings that have taken place.
