Henry Slivery was committed Dec. 23, 1824, by T. Hassell,
Esq., the present Mayor of Bristol, for having feloniously and
falsely made, forged, and counterfeited, a certain note of hand,
dated Birmingham, 7th Oct. 1824, and purporting to be the
note of one William Pearson, for the sum of 5001., with in-
tent to defraud, George Smith and his 'co-partners, trading
under the hem of the " Bristol Copper Company," against
the Statute, ee.c. The indictment consisted of 19 counts.
The Clerk of the Arraigns then addressed the prisoner._
" Henry Savary, how say you ; are you Guilty or Not Guilty ?'!
Prisoner—" Guilty."
This answer was wholly unexpected by the Court, and it
was delivered in a firm and deliberate tone.
Lord GIFFORD paused ;or some moments, appearing to be
taken more by. surprise than any body. else. He changed
eoloor, and was evidently much affected by the painful duty
,'she had to perform. His Lordship at last said, earnestly look
in g at the prisonet, " Have you well considered your answer ?"
Prisoner—" I have."
Lord GIFFORD—I trust no. false hopes have induced you
to give that answer ?
Prisoner replied semething about having deliberately pleaded
as he had; but he was not distinctly heard. •
',Ord Gwroito.again paused a few minutes, and then said,
Prisoner, yon had better consider a short time before . you re-
solve to persevere in 'pleading Guilty.
The prisoner shook his head, reclined on his hand, and again
covered his face, agitated by grief. It was intimated to the
Court, that the prisoner had no other answer 'to give than what
he had 'given. • •
Clerk of the Arraigns-81mill enter the verdict, my Lord ?
The BCORDER—Wait a short time.
The prisoner was taken from the dock, and in about five
minutes he Was brought back by direction of the Judge. The
prisoner appeared to be much more collected, and looked par-
tially-round the Court.
Lord Gerronp —I understand, Henry Savary, you persist
in pleading guilty.
Prisoner—l do, my Lord. (He then again looked round the
Court somewhat collectedly, as if he had relieved his mind.)
Lord Grrroan, having put on the fatal black cap," then
addeessed the prisoner:—Henry Savary, you have pleaded
guilty -to the crime of fergery charged against you, the forgety
of a bill,of exchange for 5001., and purporting to be the note
of Pearson, of Birmingham, and with the intent to •ti..
fraud the prosecutors in this case. You have, I trust,-well
considered the consequences of pleading. guilty. I trust no
false hOpes or expectations, that by so pleading you shoulti
nvert'thedreadful sentence which it will 'be .my painful duty
to pronounce on you, have induced you to plead guilty. Yeu
were. brought up in commercial pursuits, and you followed
them for a' considerable period in this, respectable city,- so that
you must have been intimately acquaint-A with- thetrts you

atei.legion of a Representative to serve in Parliament for
Botough took place at Peterstield on Saturday, the 2d
instant, before
"'fa Join/ MErnns, the titular Mayo! and returning Officer
ler this Borongla
The usual Proclamation having been made, the Precept
ft: the return of one Member to serve in Parliament for this
isosough, and the Act against Bribery, &c. was read, and the
alayor was sworn duly to discharge the duty of returning
Offroev.
After which, Sir WILLIAM JoniereneE rose and said,—My
Itrothez Freeholders, in addressing you, I must ask your kind-
' aess, and I should feel great difficulty in doing so, if I had it
rot in my power to propose to you a person whose private
worth and the service' he has rendered his Country, as well as
hie independent. Politics, render him worthy of receiving this
-Amour at your hands.—(flea', hear! )--I assure you, you must
allow me some little feeling upon this subject. The gallant
Ofleer I am about to propose to you has been called upon to
sat his country in the plains of India,--he commanded his
licriment with so much credit to himself, as to have been fre-
or s.ntly noticed,in the. Gazettes of this country. On one occa-
floss, when in command of a force of cavalry, he received
public thanks for the services be rendered, and his own gallant
conduct; he likewise received the rewards which your Save-
-stern confers upon personal valour. In his politics he is a
supporter of our King and Constitution, and he is related
very nearly to a Member of that Ministry, through whose
measures our country is now—(hear, hear !)—raised to such
an unparalleled height.—( Hear, hear !).--He hopes to be placed
as that situation in which every Englishman must feel himself
-thoroughly, independent, when he considers the way in
which he is to be returned ! I am convinced, in proposing
relenel lexishington to yoe, he will receive the votes of
the Independent Freeholders of this Borough—Meer,
rear}—and I can safely strain that his conduct will be
such as to reflect credit upon himself and the advancement of
your interests. I feel quite certain, that if he should succeed
in obtaining the honourable post for which he is a candidate,
that his conduct will be such as, not only, to ensure your en-
tire approbation, but even should he again present himself to
your notice—(hear, hear !)--you will again receive him with
equal confidence!—Mear, hear !)
Mr. HYLTOI•I JOLLlFTE.—Freehoiclers 1. In seconding the
nomination that has been made, 1 shall take up very little of
your time, as so much has been said upon the honour and mili-
tary character of the gallant Colonel, and the services he has
rendered. He has, as the proposer has stated, received from His
Iltajesty that mark, which those receive who distinguish them-
selves in the hour of danger ; there is no doubt those who feel
this principle will give him their support; he feels anxious and
possesses a laudable ambition to become one of your Represen-
tatives in the House of Commons; and his character, I trust,
will merit your suffrages. I have very little doubt there will,
on anotheroccasion, be other candidates whose merits may be
equally great, but as during a poll of several days 1 shall fre-
quently have an opportunity of addressing you, I shall not take
up more of your time now.
Mr. Aerciersone—Before the 'nomination which has been
made, and seconded, is subrAted to the-freelsoldess, I-conceive
it necessary to say a few words. The character of that Gallant
Officer, Colonel Lushington, is not unknown to me, connected
as X am with the army, of which he was so distinguished a
member and therefore it would be uncandid and improper in
rue to throw out the slightest insinuanon either upon his mili-
tary or his private character. I likewise know his family and
:connections, and I have only to lament that with his splendid
acquirements he should have been driven to the necessity of
noosing down under the venal and corrupt influence which has
so long prevailed here—(hear, hear !)—to obtain a Seat, as the
representative of this much-injured Borough, for the remain
Ocrof the present Parliament. It is idle to talk of the next
Parliament and the next Election. God only knows what will
be the result of that Election. The Committee of Appeal of the
Rause of Commons having permanently fieed the right of
liection in this Borough, you now' have it in your power to
eeerciee your rights in the most unlimited and unrestricted
rummer, and not circumscribed, as you have been on former
oeresions---tHear, hear !)—One good effect it has already pro-
duced—the attendance of the second in Mr. Jollirfe's interest.
You have now at least the opportunity of seeing him, and of
informing yourselves of his political opinions. Up to -a very
-late period, and for almost a century, that second candidate
sever made his appearance here. This is the third time only
tiering that long period, Mr. Jolliffe and his family have con-
descended to make you personally acquainted with sirs Komi-
` ; and if no other benefit has been derived from the determi-
nation of the Committee of Appeal, it is an advantage not to
he overlooked, that the second candidate is now compelled to
comedown anti at least to pay you the compliment of appearing
before you, if not of endeavouring to acquire some knowledge
of your local interests and views, whilst his presence here gives
y3O the certain opportunity of stating to him freely and inde.
eeendently, your sentiments upon every topic which ought to
engage his attention as a Member of the [louse of Commons.
.—llut, Gentlemen, I should not have said one word, as
I have stated frequently both publicly and privately, and as
I would have stated to Mr. JollitFe if he had thought fit to have
written to me, (which would have rendered all his expensive'
?reparations for the conveyance of his voters front a distance,
and the attendance of counsel unnecessary) that it was not my
intention ner.that of my friends to offer any opposition upon this
freedom! On Friday the writ was moved far, and on Saturday
transmitted ourdetermination to the County Newspapers, in
order that the parties in the Country might not give themselves
any trouble. But, .Geudemen, I have risen for the purpose of
_referring to some reports, imputing to his Majesty's Govern.:
meat, which the Proposer of Cal. Lushington has so warmly
tpraleed,not only corruption of conduct, but the most disgrace-
. fill mis-applicanon of the public monies, and of the influence
whialt their high station confers upon them. I believe them to
. br foul calumnies, and that there is not the slightest foundation
fen their utterance. I mention them, that those about me may
I;::3 this public opportunity of rescuing his Majesty's Govern-
meet from the base,and invidious attack which the author of
. these reports hat made Upon the integrity of their character, in
order to lower and degrade them in the estimation of the public.
I mention them, that Mr. Jolliffe, who is equally implicated,
Play have an opportunity of publicly negativing them, and of
. denying that the Treasury influence and the Public purse were
totes employed in rivetting the fetters which have so long op.
otesecti your independence, and defeated all your honest exer-
. .ttians to prqmote the welfare and prosperity of your town. I
repeat to you, Gentlemen, that I am firmly convinced, that
these reports are foul calumnies upon the Government, and
. that they have been got up by base and designing persons, to
answer some dishonest and selfish purpose, even at the expellee
. of that administration, which deserves so much of the country,
. and with which you are told Colonel Irushington is so nearly
connected. Gentlemen, the industry with which these reports
have been circulated betrays the purpose. They have been cir-
. eedatai in London, and it would seem, not less assiduously
here. Mr. Jolliffe ,heving regained the confidence of the
-Treasury, and obtained the promise of their support and
influence at the next General Election, had, it is said, offer-
ed them the vacant seat for this borough for the remainder
of the present Parliament.--(Lend shouts of hear, hear,
bear l)—Here an unexpected interruption took place, by Mr.
Ucctor, jun. one of the clerks employed by Mr. Jolliffe on this
occasion, making some violent observations. On which 'Mr.
16A NO said, " If the young gentleman has not common sense
and discretion to know how to behave with decency and pro-
priety, he ought to resign his place to some more experienced
person."
Mr. Jonit ATKINSON—The interference of Mr. Hector,
jon. is obtrusive, improper, and an insult to the Mayon'who is
the only proper person to keep order here.
Mr. Arcerosoet resumed, and stated that it had been repie-
- siented that the Treasury were to give no other consideration for the
present seat than the amount of Mr, Jolliffe 'a expo yes in proc e
mg the the return, and a pledge to supporelsim with all thatinfluence
et the next General Election, and upon the discussion cf any
questions arising outof it. Can anYthinghemore calumnious than
this report ? Is it to be believed that the Treasury have bartered
their influence, and staked the public purse to obtain.possessioti
.of one of Mr. JollifFe's seats for a few months. If Mr..lol-
htfe's friends have been led to believe it, they have hsen
imposed upon. I repeat that the report is a foul calumny,
and I call upon Mr. Jolliffe to do Justice to the (doyen.

ment by public'; asserting that there is no foundation for it;
and that neither himself nor the Administration have lent
themselves to so scandalous and shameful an arrangement.—
Gentlemen, it does not rest here. The report.goes on to assert
that the public money has been.employed in 'silencing my op-
position at this Election, and that the Treasury have paid me
the expences which I am supposed to have incurred in anticipa-
tion of the present election, upon an understanding that 1
should not oppose Colonel Lushington, who is the brother of
the first Secretary of the Treasury. Gentlemen, as fair ns lam
concerned, I am sure you will agree with me that it does not
require a denial ; but as some of Mr. Joßifle's partizans may
have been credulous enough to believe it, and may be induced
to continue the circulation of the calumny, 1 think justice will
not have been done to the Treasury if it is not denied by Mr.
Jolliffe, who must know it to be false. To give these reports
the appearance of probability, motives are assigned for the ex-
traordinary conduct imputed to his Majesty's Government.—
It is said that my friend, Mr. Stephenson, is hostile to the
Administration, and that my vote in the House could not be
relied upon, as there was reason to apprehend that I should
exercise an impartial and independent judgment upon questions
of public policy, and it was necessary they should have a man
whose Note they could command. Gentlemen, this may
be complimentary to me, but it is libellous upon the Govern-
ment, and whatever my political feelings and predilections
may be, I do not desire to have my individual conduct praised
at the expence of others, and of justice. I believe the Ministry
to be incapable of such paltry and contemptible feelings. .1
believe their conduct to he governed by. higher and better
motives—and that they would spurn, with just indignation, any
suggestion to oppose an individual, because it was likely he
would judge their measures, and decide upon them, according
to his conscientious view of.lieir merits ; much less would they,
upon any such suggestion, seek to perpetuate an influence, the
progress of which is only to be traced in the depopulation of your
Borough and the ruin of your interests. I put it to Mr. J. to
couture with me in rescuing them from the imputations which
have -been heaped Ripon them for base and -selfish purposes.
They have been widely circulated, and they ought to be publicly
denied. They were mentioned to me in town, and I have heard
them again since my arrival here. No doubt the object has
been to injure me, and through me the cause of your indepen-
dence, but it will recoil only upon those whe have been mean
enough to make the attempt; for I trust that this public notice
of prevent their continued circulation to the prejudice of
an administration, whose liberal and enlightened measures
have most justly obtained for them universal admiration and
the public gratitude. Gentlemen, I have now only to observe,
that at the next general Election, Mr. Stephenson and myself
will present ourseives to you,—(hear, hear !)—ready to enter
into the contest, with a fixed determination to support your in-
dependence with our most zealous and active exertions ; whilst
Mr. Jolliffe and his friends will never have any reason to com-
plain of any thing irregular or ungentlemanly in our conduct.
We will meet him honourably, and fairly try the strength of
both parties. Again I thank you, Brother Freeholders. for the
kind support which you have invariably given me, and I assure
you that I will never desert you.—( Loud applause.)
Mr. HYLTON JOLLIFFE offered no explanation, or gave
any denial to the calumnious reports alluded to by Mr.
Atcheson.
Mi. JoITX" A TwINSON.—I take it for granted that the Hon.
Candidate is prepared with his qualification.
The Pont, Cern, at the table.—Do you wish him to be
sworn to it ?
Mr. JOHN ATRINSON.—NO ; I shall be satisfied with his
assurance that he is. Gentlemen, there is something so novel
and so pleasing in having the Member fur this borough and His
Nominee present before us, that I must make a few remarks
upon the occasion ! For the last fifty years your elections have
been controuled by Mr..lolliffe's family. You are now happily
relieved from that thraldom. It has been their practice to no-
minate to you candidates who have not paid you the common
civility of a visit upon the occasion of the election ; and your
late Member (Sir P. Musgrave), like the former nominees
of the old dynasty, has left you, and quitted your service
very unceremoniously. Your future Candidates will not
treat you so. They will have some competitors to contend
with ; and if I had known there would have been so many of
you hem to-day, I would have brought down two Candidates
for your choice, in opposition to the gallant Stranger who now
appears before you ; and although Mr. Jolliffe Seems to ex-
pect, as a matter of course, you will return wltoever HE recom-
mends, I must be permitted to remark, that in all the enquiries
I have made, I have never discovered that any one beneficial
net for the town or neighbourhood has ever emanated from The
Jolliffe Family, or T HErn Nominees ! However, there is yet a
Gentleman I may propose, although he -may not be prepared to
accept the honour which your suffrages may-confer upon him.
The Gentleman I am about to name is one very well known
in this County for his independent politics, althOugh most of us
do riot approve of his Barou,Th practice, which has not been so
liberal as we could wish. Gentlemen, the individual I mean to
nominate is Mr. Hector. You are so well able to appreciate
his merits and his claims to your support, that it is quite need-
less for me to enlarge upon them. Mr. Mayor, I propose Mr.
• Hector as a fit person to fill the vacant seat for this Borough.-
-(Shouts of applause, and laughter.)
Mr. CHARLES GREETHAM.--I beg leave to second the
motion.
Mr. HECTOR.—I am certainly very much surprised at
this very unexpected proposition. Mr. Atcheson, it appears,
has had a good many reports communicated to him about Mr.
Jolliffe and himself, in neither of which do I believe there is a
word of truth. I have heard a report that the Gentleman who has
proposed me had brought down half London, though he says he
only meant to have brought down two or three Candidates to fill
one place.—(Laughter,)
Mr. LaNG.—There would have been a choice of Candidates,
if he had !
Mr. IlEcrou.—l did hear that they were. going to bring
down Mr. Alderman Waithman.
Mr. Lesta—A very good mars too !
Mr. HECTOR.—And failing in procurirg him, they had got
hold of Mr. Sheriff Parkins, and that her, Mr. Atkinson, had
actually said, I will return rot only yet, but you and your
family ! What I say is merely from hearsay ; it may be as
true as any thine: Mr. Atcheson has had reported to him,
which, as far as I am concerned, I never before heard of ; but
every man who stands here knows my politics.
Mr. LANG.—Every man.
Mr. HECTOR.—No man more than Mr. Lang.
Mr. LANG.—I w. 41 support yen if you will stand now.
Mr. HECTOa.—I wish every Gentleman to be represented ;
but though rotten Boroughs, like Country Bankers, may be
deens ed a great evil, they are and must he resorted to as necessary ;
some gentlemen who have abused Country Bankers have found
their assistance requisite and very convenient. Gentlemen, if
you will be so kind as to give me your votes at any other place
than this, I shall be-much obliged to you !
Mr. La:at:a—lt would not become me to say a great deal;
but with respect to my friend Mr. Hector. I must take this
public opportunity of declaring my opinion of the manner in
which he acts here. It is pretty well known what his opinions
are as to the County, and mine too ; hut I do say this, and I
may gay it here, that whatever his politics may be in the County,
he stands in Petersfield on rather a different footing ! I can
fully appreciate the principle which compels him to act in the
County in one way, and in this Borough in another. Be has
long been the confidential agent and manager for Mr: Jolliffe.
It is, therefore, very intelligible to me why he thinks it neces-
hsary to support a system, I will not say of corruption or
bribery, but rather of corrupt and unconstitutidnal inf eence.-
-Peronal considefationS bind him to Mr. Jolliffe. He has so
long acted for him, that he thinks he cannot honourably or
honestly act against him ; and he is induced to be a party to
acts which, in his heart, he !nest. abhor, as inconsistent with
those.better feelings and princielss which he avows elsewhere.
It compels- him to act in opposition to that constitutional sys-
tens, to which no honest and sensible man can be an enemy, as
it protects alike the liberty of the highest and the lowest, and
which, as to our property, says, that nothing shall be taken i
from us without our own consent, or that of our representa-
tives. I acknowledge the peculiarity and the effect of Mr.
HeCtor's situation with Mr. Jolliffe. I am sure that be feels I
the same indignation that I do, when he reflects how this sa-
cred right of the people is invaded in practice. But, Gentle-
men, these practices are verging fast towards their termination.
Not, however, before it was high time for them to be rooted
Out. You know it has been avowed over and over again, that
Seats are bought and sold; nor is it denied, that such has been I
the case with yours. In some horotie,lis a veil hi hypocrisy is
thrown over these transactions, and the bribe is postponed. but
the corruption is the same. In these boroughs what a farce
is carried on. Amongst them, Petersfield has been not a little
notorious. Here we have seen the conveyance of the elective
franchise' handed over in the morning, and received back at
night. The rights of the inhabitants have been borne down
by these proceedings, and nothing was left to you but the
name and mockery of representation. How could it be ex-
pected that men so returned to, Parliament would there be-
come sound and zealous supporters of those laws and of
that constitution, which, in their road to the House of Com-
mons, they have .sampled upon and despised.— (Loud applause.)
Your Borough is now open, and must be so, but it will de-
pend upon whether there will be virtue enough in the people
to avail themselves of the opportunity afibrded them to come
forward like men, and Englishmen, to support those who have
so nobly won the battle for them.—(Loud applause.)—lf there
is a General Election, and they . will not come forward to sup-
port and follow up the victory that has been achieved, they de-
serve to fall into the trammels that have for so many years
galled and oppressed them, but which, like the gloom of night,
are gradually disappearing. As 1 am not a resident here, 1
ought to account to you for my presence to-day. It is pretty well
known to those who are acquainted with me, that I am a re-
former—a reformer in principle. I repeat again that I wish to

see all Close BoroughS, all Rotten Boroughs, thrown open,
and that the people of this-country shall have that which, by
the Constitution, they are justly 'and properly entitled to—a
fair vote in the election of their represesentatives.
With respect to the Borough o( Petersfield, there was a time,
as that board (pointing to a board affixed in the Townhall con-
taining the names of individuals who had bartered their free-
holds to Mr. Jolliffe's ancestors and taken a long lease in ex-
change, with a consideration of more or less value, according to
circumstances) sufficiently points out, when all who held tene-
ments had a right to vote, but in many cases that right has been
lost, and the freeholder of the tenement has consented to become
the leaseholder or vassal of the gentleman who usurp to him-
self the title of Patron or Lord of this Borough. I will now
beg leave to draw a little attention towards myself. It may be
said how can you come to Petersfield and support a principle,
which in other parts of the County and in your own particular
neighbourhood you are anxious to oppose. I reply that if the
Candidates could be brought to the understanding that none but
the Freeholders of the Hundred of Finchlear should vote, I
would make my bow and retire; but if Swiss are brought in on
one side, Swiss must come in on the other; for like the merci-
nary Greeks of former days, if they are to be brought in they
must be brought in on both sides, and when Gisek meets
Greek then comes the tug of war, and we shall see
which way the tug goes I As these observations arias
incidentally, I have explained them that I may not appear in-
' consistent ! 1 have no peculiar interest to gratify ; I have no
private purpose to answer; I have liceemployer to serve; but
still I do not see it so strongly as Mr. Hector, and 1 cannot un-
derstand, although I admit he thinks he cannot act agaiast Mr.
Jolliffe, why he should lend himself to him, and why he should
exhibit himself as an harlequinatle—a little black on one side—
and a little white on the other—(A laugh 1)—I know, on one
hand, his consistency of principle has been called in question,
but I know he has been too long a reformer ever to swerve from
the principles he has espoused, although he does not act in con-
formity to them in this borough ! -I apologize, Gentlemen, for
having taken up so much of your time, but if you go to a poll,
• , I shall be happy to support my-frierl's nomination, and with-
I out meaning any thing disrespectful to Col. Lushington, I
I should be happy to see Mr. Hectorpreferted upon this occasion.
Colonel LuSHlNGTON.—Gentlemen, although E feel anxious
for the honour of representing you in Parliament, I feel a dif-
ficulty in addressing you, being so little known to you, but
being presented to yowl)), Sir William and Colonel Jolliffe, I
must stand upon very strong grounds. It is not necessary for
me to say much. If lam fortunate enough to receive your
countenance I shall hope to shew, that your regard and confi-
dence have not been misplaced; and in particular you may rest
assured. that the rights and interests of the Borough of Peters-
field will be the object of my particular regard and attention._
I should not have said a word more had not Mr. Atcheson men-
tioned the rumours alluded to, and frt. winch I feel obliged to
him, as it enables me to say, and I do assure you upon my
Ito-
nour and character as a Gentleman, " theta' the expences will
come out on my own pocket."
Mr. Jotter ATEINSON.—We have a right to expect some-
thing explanatory of the political principles of Colonel Lush-
ington. There is a large field before him ; he will favour
us perhaps with his opinion upon the Catholic Question, the
Corn Laws, Parliamentary Reform, or the more liberal policy
that has been extended in the commercial relations of the
country, avid in the alterations of the Navigation Laws. I
should hope he would give us something like a pledge, that
when he meets us bete again we may judge whether he has
fulfilled it or not. We have aright, I think, to expect at least
something of this kind from him.
Colonel LuSHINOTOE.—I hove no hesitation in replying in
part. I have not been two months in this country, and the
Corn Laws and Renoir in Parliament I am not so familiar
with as to give a decided opinion ; but as to the Catholic Ques-
tion, I am decidedly Protestant, and shall resist further con-
cessions to the Catholics.
Mr. LANG.—The candid admission of the Gallant Officer
calls only for one observation ; this is an additional motive why
we ought to vote for Mr. Hector; be has been so long before
the public, and his principles are so well known, and his con-
duct so decisive and decided, that we should have no .doubt—
The M aYoR.—A re you a freeholder ?
Mr. LAN G.--1 am—(Cries of 44 Spoke, spoke !")
Mr. Join,: AT ElNsom.—Not upon this subject.
Mr. LANG.—I have no objection to be stopped.—(Cries of
" Go on, go on.")
Mr. HECTOR, jun.—No, no!!
Mr. LANG.—I was only going to observe upon the declara-
tion of the worthy Colonel.—(Cruces of " Go on, go on.")
Mr. LAxo.—l should have finished long before this if I had
not been interrupted. shall conclude with merely observing,
taentlernen, thatahe deelaaation which has just been made is,
I believe; in such discordance with the general feeling of the
people of Petersfield, that that would be an additional reason
why Mr. Hector ought to have the preference..
Mr. HECTor, jun.—l am, Gentlemen, young as Mr. Lang
tells you, but I' think it right that somebody should oppose a
man who only comes here to create a disturbance. If Mr.
Lang•had addressed himself to the freeholders in general, in-
stead of to my father, in order to make the Electors believe
that Mr. Jolliffeni agents were corrupt:on-
Mr. LANG —No, no, I did not say any thing of the kind.
Mr. HECTOR—I feel myself highly complimented by this
proceeding, and I do give my friend, Mr. Lang, credit for all
he has said as to toy political principles.
Mr. LANG—I appeal to Mr. Atcheson whether that has not
always been my declaration.
Mr. HECTOR—I feel great pleasure in hearing such senti-
ments expressed of my political principles, I hope I shall die in
.hem ; but I should to the last man living to attempt to be re-
urned for this Borough, and therefore, I must decline the
tonour you intend me.
Mr. LANG—You must serve if you are elected.
Mr. IlEcTort, jun.-..-By what law ?
Mr. LANG—The Mayor is bound to return the person who
has the greatest number of votes.
The Matron—There seems to be no opposition.
Mr. LANG—There is a second nomination, and youmust put
it to a shew of hands.
31r. JOHN ATKINSON.—Mr. Greetham will assist the
Mayor in taking the shew of hands.
Mr. HECTOR.—I have no wish.
Mr. Jolter AT EiNsoN.—l call upon the Mayor, and insist
upon it. I should be very happy.to see Mr. Hector a Member
of Parliament.
Mr. II neTort.—/ should be very sorry to find myself in it.
Mr. liTeToet JoLLIFFIe.—This seems to be a ve:y good
natured joke, but it may be carried too far. It would be delay-
ing the thing, and I think Mr. Hector declines the honour you
intend him. It would be only giving trouble and inconve-
nience for two or three days here. It is keeping Gentlemen
here who have many other things upon their handsi
Mr. LANG.—I never heard of Mr. Hector's nomination till
I came into this room ; it is not for use to say what course the
Gentlemen will take.
Mr. GnEETHAat.—It would be a waste of time; we may
dispense with Mr. Elector.
Mr. JOHN A TKINSON.—No, I cannot.
A shew of hands then took place, • and it appeared doubtful
which had the majority ; hut the Mayor declared the election
in favour of Colonel Lushingion.
Mr. Jon sr A T KiNsoN.—l should not at all think of taking
' up the time of this Court a moment longer, or of introducing
another subject foreign, apparently, to this Election, but I
must for the sake deny own ),:agratg_lo4. freeholder, as Colonel
' Tolliffe At the last Election alluded to 4 CH u ntalEla'S Cot..
LEGE," and declared most unequivocally the charges which he
said had been made' elsewhere against him and his family, were
falSe. I ask, therefore, whether -the debt of 1,6001. and up-
wards, doe from the late Mr. William Jolliffe to Chutcher's
College, has been paid by him?—
Mr aTLYON JoetrnE rose, evidently under the influence
of considerable agitation, and said—l refer you to the MASTER
in CHANCERY !
Mr. JOHN' A'rNINSON—You see, Gentlemen, you cannot
obtain a declaration, or any explanation, whether the debt due
to Churcher's College from the late Mr. Jolliffe, has been paid
or not. I was amtious that you should have that information.
It appears, diet Cclonel Joiliffe is not prepared to answer the
question. I thought lie might be glad of the opportunity to
do so!
THE Mayoa—l think that question ought to be dispensed
with.
Mr. JOHN ATKINSON—I only followed the example of Mr.
Jolliffe, who introduced it at the last Election.
The MAYOII. then said—l declare Colonel Lushington duly
elected to represent-this Borough in the present Parliament.
Colonel LusurNoToar—Gentlemen, you must allow me a
few words in acknowledging the kindness you have conferred
upon me. I beg to offer you my sincere and grateful thanks
for the honour you have done use; and I trust no part of my
conduct will ever call forth your reprehension.
Mr. CHARLES GREETIIASI—Where is Sir Phillip Mus-
grave ?
Col. Jorosirrn—He is at Carlisle. If you had read the
newspaoers you would have known that.
Mr. C. GuEET Haat—Why is he not here?
I Col. JOLLIFFE—IIe could not be at both places.
Mr. C. GREETHAM—I want to know why he had not the
courtesy to come and take his leave of us ?
Min Hylton Jolliffe and Colonel latshington were accom-
Tian" by Mr. Mecres the Mayor, -nir. Thoir.as Chitty, Mr.
Thomas Holland, and Mr. William Blunt, former Mayors of
