the poll. He founded this application on the ineligibility of Mr.
Birth, and shortly re-stated to the AIPOMOr the arguments which he
had urged, and the facts which he had proved on Monday ; he re-
capitulated the answers which had been attempted to'be given
him, and commented, in strong terms. on the deeds of assignment
and the relents, which, he said, appeared clearly to have been ma-
nufactured for the occasion. Assuring them that he had satisfied
the Assessor on these points, and that the Assessor had declined to
grant his tint application, because he was unwilling to decide so
important a question as the ineligibily of • Candidate, he urged
that the only,mode of doing equal justice between the parties was
to made a duuble return.

After an animated answer by Mr. Davis, and a reply by Mr.
Coleridge, the Assessor deli►ered his decision at length, in which
he said that he had declined to state any opinion on Monday, be-
cause he was unwilling to prejudice the vn•e of any single elector;
as that reason now no longer esisted, he had no hesitation in say-
ing that he thought Mr. Bildt clearly Ineligible, and that it was the
Bailiff's duty to make a double return.
This deckle., spread gluon' and disappointment over the ermine.
nencei of Mr. Bish and his friends. The severol Candidates then
addressed the electors. Mr. Itis4 spoke at great length, and with
great bitterness, from notes written on the hacks of old lottery
cants, on which Bish and Co., with flourishes of blue and red,
were very visible.

The three Candidates returned were then mounted in splendid
chairs, and paraded the town with banners and music, among an
immense, hut, upon the whole, a peaceable and good-humoured
concourse of people.
At die close of the poll its state was as follows:

After the close of the po11OnTI;;;:lay, a great disposition to
rioting was evinced by some of the party wearing the colours of
General A imstrong (pink), and, notwithstanding all the preLau-
Homey measures that were taken a violent attack was made on
Genial's party (Ow blue), about ten o'clock at night. The
prompt and spirited interference or the constables, however, pre.
ranted any serious consequences, by securing the moat violent,
none of shorn appear to be Electors. They wet, committed to
