On the Ist in,tant died, both seventy-three years of
age, Mr. John Ruffen, of Great Bardfield, and Mary his wife. Thi:
aged couple had been married 47 years, and were at the same time con-
fined to a bed of sicknees. The husband expired by his wife's side about
five o'clock in the afternoon, and his faithful partner survived him only
six hours.—Essex Herald.
As we predicted, the enquiry into the atrocious,
the most atrocious case of corrupt election ever known in the United
Kingdom, has been like ether monsters smothered in its birth. By
the simple expedient of admitting that 21 votes, given to " Arthur
Wellesley, commonly called the Marquis of Douro, and '2 to Robert
Scarlett, commonly called the lion. Robert Scarlett," could not be re-
tained, public justice and the commonly so called Honourable Robert
Scarlett have been severally compromised. In no part of the process of
electioneering has the Honourable lieber4sufFercel in such gcod:company.
Justice and his Honourable self have never befome been seen so ch.sely
coup!e.d in any of his election doings, as in this their consummation, and
now it is to be feared the Honourable Robert will be prone to con.
skier that he has had " justice wore than he desires,-;.Priaclt Mercury.
