The London Committee congratulate their friends that the result
of the eighth day's poll has added three only to the majority of Mr.
Gladstone. Fully 1,500 members of Convocation are still unpolled,
and nearly 200 of those who voted for Dr. Marsham at the last
&cotton hare not, as yet, recorded their votes. If the unpolled
hiembers of Convocation are but true to themselves, they may
achieve a triumphant victory for Church of England and Constitu-
tional principles, by returning Mr. Perceval.
The poll, which commences at 10 a.m., and closer at 5 p.m., will
be kept open until every elector has had an opportunity of recording
his vote.
