TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE
SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF ESSEX.

GENTLEMEN,
ENCOURAGED by a numerous body of Elec-
tors, to become a Candidate for the honour of representing
you in Parliament, to supply the vacancy caused by the lamented
death of your late highly respected Member, Mr. Hall Dare, I
venture to declare my acceptance of so flattering an invitation.
I come forward only in the absence of some more worthy Candi-
date, for the sole purpose of affording an opportunity to the con-
stituency of declaring those sentiments which anima' e the ma-
jority of the electors, and upon which I confidently rely for our
ultimate success.
An equitable commutation of tithes, ecclesiastical and municipal
reforms, and a removal of those disabilities which still press upon
the Dissenters, shall have my most strenuous support. In pursuit
of these objects I shall be guided by principles of equal justice in
endeavouring to secure for the nation peace, economy, and useful re-
forms, and for individuals the inviolability of private property.
My opinions are known to be favourable to the support of the
Church of England, in so far as that institution shall be rendered
and maintained an efficient means of supporting the Christian Re-
ligion in this land. In regard to agriculture, my property
and my connections are bound up in its interests ; my habits,
both of study and of action, have been much directed to its
welfare ; and it is for you, and not for myself, to estimate the value
of my opinions in connection therewith, as they are well known to
a large portion of the Constituency.
The short period which must elapse between this time and the
day of nomination must prevent my waiting personally upon every
elector ; but I hope to be able to present myself in every district of
the division to state more fully my opinions.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient humble servant,
Upminster Hall, May 26, 1836. C. E. BR ANFILL.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1836.

The proceedings in the HOUSC! of Commons, last
night, in reference to the petition of the Dublin
Electors arc singularly edifying, inasmuch as they
prove that that House considers the claims of substan-
tial justice a mere feather in the balance against the
weight of forms—we were going to add " and prece-
dents"—but there is no precedent for the course pur-
sued by the House on this occasion. There are pre-
cedents for the rejection of a petition after an Elec-
tion Committee had reported a Candidate duly
elected, because it is necessary that some limit
should be fixed to the period for bringing for-
ward charges of bribery or other mal-practices
but where is the precedent for the rejection, by a Select
Committee, of evidence to bring home bribery to a
candidate, tendered at the proper time, and then, by
the House of Commons, of`a petition from the elec-
tors, praying to be allowed to prove their charges ?
The peculiarity of this case has been completely over-
looked, and the interests of the electors of Dublin have
been sacrificed, first to the ignorance of 11 Members of
the House, and then to the squeamishness of the House
itself in adhering to the letter instead of being guided by
the spirit of its own forms. What are the facts of this
extraordinary case ? They lie in a nut-shell. A petition
is presented against the return of the sitting Members
for Dublin, and a Select Committee is appointed to in-
vestigate the merits of the election. In the course of this
investigation bribery is detected, and evidence is offered
to connect the unsuccessful candidates with the crime.
No, say the Committee, WE will not allow such evi-
dence to be produced. The inquiry is brought to a
close ; the sitting Members are found to have the
fewest number of good votes, and the Committee report
that the unsuccessful candidates—the charge of bribery
still hanging over their heads—are dull elected. A
petition is then presented by the electors, praying
permission to bring forward their proofs. No, say the
House, we are very sorry for your case—it is a particu-
larly hard one—but you are concluded by the report of a
Select Committee. That report is wrong, we admit,
most decidedly wrong, but nevertheless it is final ! and
this is parliamentary law : this contemptible quibbling
—this " pitiful chicanery," as Mr. O'CONNELL ap-
propriately described it—is the lex parliamentaria of
Great Britain in the year 1836

Mr. GROVE PRICE withdrew his absurd notice last

night in the House of Commons, which proves that
he, is a man of more good sense than people might be
-apt to give him credit for. In allusion to the Hon.
