Mr. Holphouse should have made this assertion, and more

that such an appeal would not be made is vain. He knew
that the independent Electors would 'stand forward to resist
the nomination of a Committee eo constituted, and that they
would not suffer Sir F. Budett, **dee their dictation, ill

Burdett who now came forward to complain of the borough- .

Mr. Holphouse had brought forward a meet despicable cha-
racter, accursed both by God and man, to support his pre-
setesiipos. He brought forward a spy, who had teen sent to
their Committee fur the purpose of afterwards betraying
them. He did Not think, from what be previously
knew of Mr. Hohhouse, that he would have enlisted such
a man in Isis caner; but from a source so polluted, he was
not surprised that falsehood should characterise that in-
dividual statement. Mr. Lamb had never stated, nor had
he (Mr. 1..) ever stated, that he was igoorant of the corrupt
