in was, what the general Colour and charmer
-any public -man!s_condliq vs. 5 and in that view
alone ta their judgMent on him. An Hon.
'Baronet, Mr. Windham said, had raised an objec-
tion 'againsthith,as' a Candidate from so whimsical
.11 'motive, that he hardly hpew in what light-to treat
He had said he (Mr. W.) was not a fit per-
son to represent the county, because, being in
:Of-
fice, he was dependent'on the Crown. But what
Mint be'. the inference drawn froM this, but that
every man, serving in-any, office of the State, ninst
necessarily be corrupt ; and that the only Way to
.-remain untainted and unsuspe&ed was to keep out
of Office; so,. in fa&, that 'the knaves were to, be
suffered to fill the high posts of ,His Majesty's Go-
vernmentl, lest, by meddling in such matters, the
honest inen:should loSe- their integrity ! Yet Naval
and. Military Men Were- ever allowed, in the.. per-
formance of their , duty, to deserve Well of their
'tOuntry ;, and why ,not men in official situation*?
..EvTry one who knew any thing about the nature of
pulpit business nmSt be well aware, that it could
not be transaaecl, if Ministers bad_ not the permis-
. sion to .sit in• Parliament ; and if a Minister be an
character to represent
.4 county, he is also unfit
to sit in Parliament at all. He would ask the wor-
thy -Baronet; whether be thought that eminent
Statesrban (Mr. Pitt) was, when living, and in -of-
fice, an. unworthy-tandidate for representing t Lini-
versify of
_Cambridge ? But surely, be said, there
nEiver was so monstrous a doarine broached, nor
one-more inconsistent with the avowed principles
of those 'who had -so unadvisedly .set it up.—
Much (Mr. Windham' observed) had been said
abotit "Norwich and Yarmouth having .shown their
.itidtpUtidenc,e ; but he confessed he found it 'dif
ficult 'to learn what was, meant by such an expres-
sion;'as'applied to those places--unless, indeed, a
display of Mdependenceconsisted in turning out the
old Members, and ele:ling new ones, in,like man-
ner he himself, four- years ago, had been served,
to make room for•the . Gentleman who has now, in
IA turn, been dismissed. .But. be hoped, "%rlfen.
Gentlemen-talked of the independence of the Coun-
ty,' it would be on a very different understanding.
He hoped that their attention on thiS subject would
be direled to' guard against the inroads made upon
it by the influence of Individuals.
.Mr. Windham
then 'proceeded to ,natice, some instances, of ,undue
and perverted exercises of !authority on the part of
certain Magistrates and Cmurnissioners of Taies in
the opposite interest : and he observed, that,"witli
,respect to the influence of Govern'ment;-oti'i.hich
:so much .stress had been laid, be was convinced,
that, 'even were it exerted_to.the utmost, it must; in 'a
.taunt} contest; be confined to very narrow limits,
lie Wished to God the Country was liable t be as '
little affected by-the influence ;of individuals. Mr.
Windham. next adverted: to .the argument Which
had' been 'tigeclby, a Learned Gentleman (Mr. Jon
drily who-had urged as an additional reason for_
pronouncing' him (Mr, 'Windham) 'to be an impro
per,iierson-for the. County *presentation, that, it,
was'probable it might be His Majesty's 'pleasure,
hereafter, to call him to a still higher place in his
•Councils, in which event he would necessari)y va7
atenhis seat, and the County would be once more
thrown into conifusion ; so that at that rate,ltrwould
be improper :to elea any person who .it was at all I
probable would be called upon. by ths 'King for, hi's
'services. But surely' the .14:at:tied Gentleman,.,` When.
he expressed such anxiety for. the preservation Of
the tranquillity of the County did not take-into
consideration, that;by eleaing the sons. of Peers, the
Constituents were exposed, fo,the consequences of
mortality, not only in the person of 'the,son, but of
the father also: Mr.. Windham, after speaking in
terMS-of great respea of the three higher orders of
the 'community in this tountryethe the
.Gentry,,ind the Clergy, took occasion- to pay a most
distinguished 'encomium on the Yeomanry ; a class
'of men, fie said, who, possessed more of the free and
genuine English- character, than any other ; and he
regarded it as not too mt;ch to say, that in no part
of England was that character so purely inherited
anti upheld, as by the. Yeomanry of,: Norfolk.'2 Of, the
good ,will and support of that branch of the Free-
holders he was highly ambitious.; they Were the
men least liable to: be touched by Ministerial influ-
ence, and it was tcythem be particularly ad dressed.
himself—He • rearetted the disadvantages- he 'was
utider 'from the Hon. Colonel having bad the start
of'him in canvassing, at ,the- same time stating,that
froM the moment -Sir Jacob Astley's intention of
resigning was intimated, not a moment had been
lost on his part. This circumstance, however, he,
added, would make sticcess, should it attend him,
Indre-sattsfaaory and gratifying; and .be a conso-
lation, on the other hand, by rendering. disappoint-
'
, tnent less' mortifying. He was determined there-
fore to try 'the event to the utmost, and 'although
be might fail of attaining the great object of his
wishes, still, from the flattering share, to which .he
bad already found himself admitted, in that affec-
tionate:attachment which all ranks
.of the 'Free-
holders- bore' towards 'his Hon. Friend (me. Coke,)
he felt himself fully justified in believing,' that te
should ever Continue-to stand. well in the opinion of
the County of Norfolk. •

ESTMINSrER ELECTION,

• ,
• The ii'senibiage bn Saturday before the HUstings
was searcely.so humerous as on the former days.
Indeed the peoPle seemed to bagye •exhausted them-
selves. There was a• great deal of noise,.as usual;
but,lllevoeiteration during the early part of the day
was'by no means so constant or loud. Mr. Pauli's
friends. had before maintained a decided sitperierity
both as to noise:‘ and numbers—on Saturday thee&
vantage appeared rather to' be on the side of the
other Candidates. A sailor, who had stationed him-
self within a few Yards of Sir Samuel Hood, occa-
sioned a. great deal-of mirth among the crowd, by
the singularity of his 'observations. He had got
hold of some printed and written papers, Which be
set himself to read aloud with great perseverance„
His efforts in spelling, and his remarks on the State,
appeared to be highly.'entertaining to those who
were nearest to him. He expressed his opinion that
there could be no doubt athe success of his-Noble
Commander ; " for, , d'ye see," said he, " a sailor
.must always succeed against a lubber of a• tailor or
a cobbler." Sir Samuel Hood's flagS, which were
carried several times through the crowd, were re-.
ceived with inuch.applause. .Some, however, called
out " No Treasurer of the Navy';" to which excla-
mation, OtherS replied, that those who would have
• no Treasurer of the Navy would probably dispense
with the Navy itself. At the close of the poll the
numbers Were as follow :
For Sir S. Hoop,: . poz-,
Mr. PAULL 2658
Mr. SHE.RIDAN - 2424
• Mr. BRITTEN, in the absence of Mr. Peter Moore,
'addressed the Eleaers in behalf of Mr. Sheridan.
Considerable oppoSition was made to him at first.
He requested, however, to be heard. It had been
asserted, that no Court Candidate bad a .title to the
votes of the Ele&ors of Westminster. But he was
no Court Candidate, nor was he in any degree in-.
fluenced by the Court ;
.they might, therefore, at
least allow him a patient hearing. He then spoke
• in the Highest terms of the.. talents and .public con-.
du& of Mr. Sheridan, who, during the whole of
his parliamentary career, had been •the steady and
determined sepporter,,Of the Constitution 'and the
Rights of the People: • :It had been said that none •
were freernep who :did, not vote for Mr. Paull.
Suelvan assertion could only proceed upon the ab-
surd. suppositlon that men in office were to' be 'op-
posed whether`right or,wrong.' But Mr. Sheridan
had ,proved,,' in the course of an naive life, that
offite Was •iit) consideration with' him, when put in
cqmpetition With his principles. Mr. Paull had
little claim on 'the score Of experience, and still.less
in ;point 'of :talents. It was impossil* that any,
rational end' reflecting freeman could the pre-
ference to Mr. Paull over. Mr. Sheridan:' ;This
would be to 'clap an extinguisher on' the sun, and
. supply- its place with a rush-light. The gallant
mural, Sir Samuel Hood, had fought the battles of
his Country. Those..only who had 'witnessed the:
situation of a Country which' was, the
.seat• of war
,could form "a competent idea of the horrord.vattend-
ing such a.,situation. That thiS' 'Country had, not
been' the seat- of war was owing to .Our
sailors Were -the guardians of our peace, our.la),v,ss
and our liberties: - This consideration' pointed; out
the claims 'Df the gallant Admiral, and certainly:no
tonour.'or benefit that could be .eonferred could
• exceed theilesert; a a •brave,;iiiii; itairC;
fed skilful
Naval Officer. This speech was received 'witli•con-
-siderable applausb:••• • .
Sir SAMUEL HC;OD: was_ prel'ciiited from
,proceed-
in-g-fer some time by the elamonrs of'Mr. yauit,'s!
friends.
,He called .out •to the ' people to. listen to
him for a few Minutes; 'but-the noise still continued.;
then said that they were afraid to hear him, as
he might tell theM•'•Sorne plain truths. Howeo4
the stateect he poll was the best proof of the opinion
pf the people and. of -their attachment to the Con,
,•• -•
stitution. 'The good sense of the 'City of West:
minster had showed itself in opposition to the efforts
of•the faalous and the discontented. He. returned
his best thanks to the'Eleadrs for their exertions
in his favour. He requested them to. continue
those exertions, and as soon as possible put an end
to the hopes of thefaaious, if they still retained any.
• Mr. PAina. then•stepped forward.--4,He thanked.
his aninadiis friends • for the able support which
'they had given him, aridcomplained of the obstruaions
and riotous condna of his opponents.. This, how-
ever, was the most melancholy day the Court Can,
didate bad experienced, for with all the influence •of
Government and of Carlton House, • and after two
-sleepless days and nights, one of them still remain;'
ed far behind •hitn on the poll., In .spite of the in-:
famouS coalition that had been• formed, fia majority
would bt'much increased on , Monday. He corn-
plaine*ci bitterly of the condu& of the Member for
Coventry 'Who came there purposely to insult him,
and the Eleaors. That person had long been, to
his knowedp, soliciting a situation .in Bengal; ariCil
in Order to gain the favour of Government, he,eame•
'thereio calumniate him and the Independent Elec-
tors of Westminster. He had not said that .3009
votes might be. purchased with
,as many pots of
porter. Another person bad said so, but he:had
not even piotnised one pot of porter. He con-
cluded by soliciting the continued exertions of his
friends. He,would keep thepoll cpen to the last,
and preMised 'that on Monday he . would bring up
800 voters.—rA constant clamour was kept
,up
durinrc 'this speech by the friends of the. different
•
parties.]
This concluded the business, of the 6th day.

On .Saturday last the Eleetion came on at T.re=
cony, in Cornwall,. for two Burgesses to 'represent
that BOroughin Parliament.
.The Candidates were,
JOHN NicnOti,S, Esq. a former • Member for this
town,- and JONATHAN MILES, Esq. Sheriff of

COURT 01: COMMON PLEAS, SATuluini,

'GILLET V. DIAWVIAN-. •.• • .
Serjefint SllErllqlp applied for a,rnle to slie.w-
cause why the verdial in tltiasasethould not be set
asides
.and a new trial
,granted. The action was
broUght fora considerable sum of money due for
work and labour as a7Printen The 'detenee,set up _
was, that the greater part of the account; was for
printing part Of a work- which avid never beerfinish-
ed, or delivered to thc,Defendant—but which, with
the papers which it was to be printed; and which
had been sent by the Defendant, had been consumed
by 'fire before the Plaintiff quitted the possession cif
it. AS to the other park or the account, a setoff
was claimed, on account of paper delivered by the
Defendant to the Plaintiff, for the work in question,
and for other works to be printed for him ; which ,
paper the Plaintiff v-as bound, by the praCtice of the -
trade, and by agreement with the Defendant; to in-
sure. Whether he had insured the property or
not, the Learned Counsel , maintained, baying re-
ceived 50001. &Om the Insurance Office, on account
of the insurance executed or intended to be exe- ' •
cuted by him, it was, to the extent of the value.of
the Defendant's paper, SQ much money had acid re-
ceived on hiS account-and-for his own use. There
were actually two questions hefOre the Jury a the •
one was, whether the Plaintiff was entitled to pay-
ment for the work executed•by him, but not finish-
ed, or delivered to the Defendant ? The other, if
the Plaintiff was not bound to insure, -and, if he
failed to insure;- if he was not still responsible for
the paper sent to him by the Defendant, anti con- .
sumed by tbefire )• In support, of the first of these -
positions, the Plaintiff undertook to slim, that the
Defendant: had kept the work longer in hand than s
he ought to have done,' and of course.'had trans-
ferred the burden of keeping it froM the Plaintiff
to himself. lii this, however, he was t-,o far: nn=."
successful, that - the:author of the work-swore that
no improper delay -had taken place ;.,that it was'
a work- (Anacharsia's Travels) which' necessarily.
required .some, delay ; and that the airendant • was
:not responsible for any delay which had taken place.
That the Plaintiff Was•hOt"bound to insure the paper'
entrusted to him, he also endeaVoured to spew, by
addneing,Mr. Stockdaleas. a Witaessto this dicta;
and also' Mr.' Bensley,•- the , Printer. Sat for, how- ..
ever, , horn supporting' the Plaintiff's case, •Mr.
Stockdale deolared, thatcit now was /prilaiCe' to
insure, but that it had not been so till within these
eight or ten years,,whenahtn,,ing suffered consider-
ably by Hamilton, the Printer, who had promised
to paper; who had failed to uo so„ and-
who wasinSolvent; hee-had resolVed in future to in-

The Jury: found a verdict for the Plaintiff for the
whole work perfcirmed by him, though nut deliver-
ed to the • Defendant,: And also, that, the,Plaintiff •
was not bound to insure the- paper entrusted to
biM by the Defendants. , - .s
Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD was of opinion,
on the trial, that neither -side had come prepared with
the proper evidence. - The Plaintiff had not sub-
stantiated; or rather- had failed irf-proVing, the two
points
.which he had , wished to establish..- But .yet
the Defendant had it in.his potter to have subs4an
tiated, Which he also tailed to do, the great
,point,
that the printers were the insurers of the paper en--,a
trusted. to. them. The _evidence of- Mr. St .ekdaleaa
that printers had promisedto •hirn.to insure his pa.
per, ,and hadartatt.,-in consequence Of _which he 114,

him conclusive that, such insurance was pot a burden.
on
.the printer, struck. him in a!different light, and
seemed :rather !to -p-gue, that but for the want
Of faith which-
;booksellers were, by experience,
iughtto haVeln 'the printers,' that was the rule of

ataing.
Mr. Ser3eant VAUGHAti said, the Defendant could
not produce.one solitary instance of a Printer paying
such a , • . .
.LcIID CLIIEF JUSTlCE.—Neither cap, the Plaintiff
