at Cheltenham, to shew cause why he

.ie offences imputed to him by the affidavit were,
that, under pretence of being employed to bring
adions against several persons for penalties incurred
for not having duly returned the number of horses
and servaats kept by them, he had extorted several
sums of money, as matter of compromi,e.
The Coury observed, that this was an offence
punishable by pillory, by the statute of the 18th of
raiz, ; asd, therefore, they could not try it in the
summary mode of a motion ; but they advised, that
some one case should be seleded, as the subjed of
an indidinent.

Cereptts issued on the 2d day of the Term, com-
manding him to bring up one George White, al-

the Gaoler, before the service of the Habeas Carpus,
had delivered him to a Corporal of the Guards,

Mr. SHERI nAs walked home from the hustings
yesterday, aim:dad by Lord %Viola ese Romeo,
Mr. Vi'srir se RAD, and several of his •particular
friends, and one hundred of the EleCtors of West-,
nicster, with a bar.d of. music playing. They pro-
ceedeclakiwo Eoutbarnpton Street, into the Strand ;v
while parsing along Souzhampionstreet, a stone wt ti
thrown et Is Sitcoms ti, from a house neat
Maiden-lane' I sat it did not hit him. Mr. Sum-
DAN'S friends ',topped for some time to take notice
ot the house from which the stone had been thrown;
and then conStaaed Mr. SIIIIIIDAN to the gates
of Somerset ifoose, when he thanked them for-
their attention, and ob .1, that though lois life;
hid been attesopted at the beginning ot. the elec-
tion, end a seeded mask of hatred against him had
just been thesis, nothing should prevent bim from:
persevering in the just Cellist he had undertaken, and
in which he ha not the least tbubt of ultimate suc-
cess, as he' sh i ail& be always ready to defend their
rights to the est moment of his contract. His
friends gave Linn Coe.: cheers, and dispersed.
Soon after the Poll opened oa Tuesday at Brent
ford, Mr. PLOill se having, en the part ot Mr. Mat,
tam objeBed to a voter, named Tuoleas VAN sv,
Stir FitilMe6 BURDETT'S Counsel, Mr CLieruno,
declared, that be (*jetted to any questions being put
to say voter relative to the heehuld. Mr.Coi renal)
admitted, that, if the fedi were as stated, the man
bad no right to vote ; but he contended. that if he
was willing its take the oath, he must be received,
subjeft to no other restraint than the punishment to
which he may be liable, in case he takes a false oath ;
and that thew persons attending might caution him,
but had no eight to propose any •lurations whatever.
Mr. Pt:Amapa , on the other band, stated, that the ob-
*lion of 'Mr. Coirroms, to the examination of
voters, wit very formidable, and the event of
the Eleition Might depend upon it, as, if it were
allowed to prevail, it would enable any man to poll,
who should: be hardy ex-sugh to take the oath.—
Mr. Cour:lloßM on the same side with Mr.
Pumas, contended, that Mr. Ceirroen's doarine,
if acceded loi would overturn all praftice and all
understanditig upon the law, from the passing of the
Ad to this lime. After consultation, the Assessor
declared, diet the Sheriffs had come to the determi.
nation, that they would hear objeaions, and inquire
into the right of every Voter who was objeCted to,
before the gash was administered. The vote in
question waft rejeffted.

Semblage without: the hustings was not fiesai so nu-

we have ever remembered during any, contested
EleCtion for this minty. The road was tittle more
crowded than upon ordinary occasions ; that hustle
and confusion, which had been so charadesistic of
former Eledions, appeared almost totally done away.

Mr. Bios° then came forward and addressed the
Electors —t" Gentlemen Elettors of the County of
Middlesex, I can scarcely express the gratitude I
feel for the situation in which you have placed me
upon this day's poll. I return you my best thanks,
and rest with confidence. that your exertions will
finally secure my re-eleCtion for the first and most
independent County in England."
Sir FRANCIS BURDITT carne forward, as usual,
amidst the general and warm acclamations of the ,
populace ; he said—" Gentlemen Lidless of Mid-
' ellesex. I have nothing to say against the wishes of
Mr. Byng for his re-eledion ; but without intending
to trespass upon your time many moments, I take
this opportunity of answering a few of those
Sol and atrocious calumnies which have tesqllirr
been exhibited against me in most of the peblic
papers. The state of the poll does not discourage me.
I feel that my success remains with the free and
independent Eledors, and whatever may be the
issue, let me rise or fall, I still have the pride,
the pleasure to know, that notwithstanding ail the
Ministerial interest and office VACS which have been
exercised against me, on all occasions, I have still
been instrumental in preserving the independent in-
terest
of the County of Middlesex. The obtaining
a seat in Parliament was not soy objeß ; the honour
of representing the County of Middlesex was not
merely what I sought; but to rescue the County
from Court influence, and Court corruption' • was
my principal objed ; and having attained this,i am
content. 7he Gentleman also appears at the head
of this day's poll (Mr. Mellish), has said nothing
of his principles. I shall besglad to hear, and so
will you, what those principles are, and what pledge
.he will give for his future conduit •in Parliament,
should you eke him. That, at the, least, I think,
you ate intitled to; and that, at least, he can do. With
respell so what has appeared in the public papers,
it is described Rs a meeting of the friends of Mr.
Sheridan, at Willis's Great Rooms. for the purpose
of securing that Gentleman's eledion, along with
Sir Samuel, Hood, against Mr. 'Paull. That Gen.
Ileum's, I sny,sis represented to insinuate, that I am
inimical to the itraerests of this country, and hostile
to those brave fellows who have so long and gal-
lamly fought for us. At die same time, he declines
naming the person, but the insinuation is too gross
not to know to whom he alludes. But he says, in
his great candour and charity, he will not name the
person. Ii that be his chality, I can only say, that
in his breast, that ingredient, which is generally
termed the milk of human kindness. has been turned
into the bitterest gall. He has said, that I have no
interest in the prosperity cc security of tie country ;
but, Gentlemen, 1 can boast of having at least as
much interest in the welfare of the counmp, and
as much property at stake, as

reiterated applause').—There is another Liens—
who also, in his great candour and charity, gives
me credit for my good intentions ; but with that
same candour arid charity, hr. says, my head is light,
and Igo whither I know not. But, Gentlemen, if
I do not exaftly know whete I am going, I can
very well tell you where Mr. Whitbread and his
friends are all going. Mr. Whitbread, Gentle-
men, is going for a Peerage ; Mr. Peter Moore
for tom thing else ; and Mr. Sheridan, my worthy
calumniator, is going for a place, if he can get it.
(Lord oeitaase ) Mr. Peter Moore has called me
an apostate; but, Gentlemen. that is an epithet
my worst enemy would not bestow upon me. I
may be mistaken in my principles ; I may see things
in a wrong light ; I may be viciously wrong in my
ideas upon subjects; but no honourable or manly
man could attach the epithet of apostate to my
character. Mr. Thomas Sheridan must also bear
his share in the clamour against me ; bas stated that
my hiend, Mr. Halliday. had now deserted Inc.
—This -statement must be false, upon the very
face of it ; for I saw him no later than yes-
terday ; lie met me as usual, treated me as
his friend, and, therefore, such a statement
could not be corsed. In this manner have they
dealt out their abuse upon me; but I shall only con-
clude by assuring you, that, under all the circum-
stances of the poll, under all other circumstances, I
am only to be measured by my principles: those
principles are the true and genuine principles of the
Constitution, by which alone this country can be ex-
tricated from its present perilous condition."
This speech was received with the loudest and
most general approbation.
Mr. MIA., 'sit neat came forward, and was for
some few moments before he could obtain a hezr-

the il

ing, from the hissing and groaning of the mob.
He at length spoke nearly as follows—" Gentle-
men Eleftors of Middlesex—l shauld be very un-
grateful if I did rot return you my warmest thanks,
for the situation in which you have placed me upon
this day's poll. I conjure you to continue your ex-
ertions, for I em sure you can do 3 great deal more."
( Here the liwing and groaning increased so as to pre-
vent hit proeeedins fa a short time.) He then coati-
nued—" The Honourable Baronet has made an at-
tack upon me with rasped to my principles, and I
am sure you will have generosity euongli to
hear my deicnce (a cry of bear ! hear! bear!)—
He has called on me to avow my principles; tout,
Gentlemen, I make no professions, and will content
myself by assuring you, that if I have the honour
to be returned, you shall find me 4ta Insilviodea
Measles'."
The Court was then adjourned until eight o'clock
this morni.p, when the Poll will be resealed. The

At the close of the polling, and before the nine-

Mr. Wei T PRE an presented himself to the crowd,
and made many fruitless attempt, to oddress

rasped for you all, those who vote for Mr. Paull, as
well as those who vote for my friend, Mr. Sheridan.
I respell and honour honest and independent men,
whether they vote for the one or for the other of
these Candidates. I only wish, that those whd are
the friends of Mr. Paull, would procure silence, in
order that this. Gentleman may hear me, as well as
that yon may hear me. If Mr. Paull had heard me
yesterday, I am sure he would not have made the
observations he did. All that I Gaols as to the Can- 4
didates, was, that I had a reaps& for them all. I
never called Mr. Paull a Jacobin, nor made use of
any expressions as to his principles. His principle,.

Gentlemen, I believe the result of the poll. to-day, is
in favour of Mr. Sheridan, and, I trust, it will continue
to be so. and that he will be triumphant. Whether
he be so or not, however, I hope that all of the in-
dependent Eledors of Westminster will have ex-
pressed their geese. by polling for one or ether of
the Candidates, let the majority be for whom it
will. I shall be glad that this vomit has been
fought, and that the true sense of the Eledors has
