REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH WARE.

FIRST MEETING OF 'THE SUPPORTERS

OF MR. APSLEY PELLATT.
Last night a meeting of the friends and sup-
porters of Mr. Apsley Pellatt was held in St.
John's School-rooms, Russell-street, Horsely down,
to hear from that gentleman an exposition of the
principles upon which he seeks to represent the
borough of Southwark in Parliament ; but shortly
before the time for commencing the business it
became known that Mr. Pellatt would be unable
to attend, on account of a domestic affliction in his
family, which compelled him at short notice to
leave town for Brighton. Mr. West, fellrnonger,
of Bermondsey, was called to the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said, as
they had lost one of their representatives, it became
their duty as electors to select a man to represent
their opinions in the House of Commons. They
had several gentlemen before them anxious to
obtain their suffrages, but they had amongst them
an old and tried servant who again sought to re-
present them. As far as he (the chairman) was
concerned, he knew of no man more fit to represent
them than a local candidate, and a man whom they
could always get at on all occasions. Mr. Apsley
Pellatt was always watchful of their interests, and
was entitled to their fullest consideration and
support. Whenever he was wanted he was
always ready to assist them, not only by his
presence, but with his purse. He believed that
had he not been a man of considerable influ-
ence he would never have been able to bring
in four bills, which had afterwards become
the law of the land. He never knew, too, of any
working man going to Mr. Apsley Pellatt and ask-
ing a favour who had asked in vain. As a working
man he would do all in his power to return Mr.
Apsley Pellatt, and he would do so gratuitously.
He hoped that he would be returned without a
shilling of expense. He hoped, therefore, that they
would return Mr. Apsley Pellatt, as he believed
him to be the best man to represent the borough
of Southwark. (Cheers.)
Mr. NEWMAN also supported the claims of the
candidate.

Mr. BISHOP moved the following resolution :
" That this meeting being of opinion that the
claims of Apsley Pellatt, Esq., to the representation
of the borough as a local man are to be preferred
above any other candidate, this meeting pledges
itself to use every exertion to secure his return."
Mr. WARD seconded the resolution, which was
then put and carried amidst great 2heering.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and
the meeting was dissolved.

MEETING OF MR. SCOYELL'S SUPPORTERS.
Last evening a numerous meeting of the electors
and non-electors of the borough of Southwark, was
held at the Horse Repository, opposite the Ele-
phant and Castle, for the purpose of considering
the claims of Mr. Scovell to represent the borough
in the room of the late Sir Charles Napier • Mr.
Lock, churchwarden of St. George's, was called to
the chair.
Mr. WALKER said they had met under circum-
stances honourable to the borough. They were
there not to be dictated to, but to show who would
be the candidate for Southwark. They were met
to consider whether Mr. Scovell was the best man
to represent them in Parliament. He had on a
previous occasion polled 3,000 votes, and if he was
elected he would be an honour to the constituency.
(Cries of " He is not a candidate," and " Why don't
he come forward to state his opinions ?") He (Mr.
Walker) would answer that question. Mr. Scovell
said, if the electors wanted him he was ready to
serve them if they asked him. He was quite satis-
fied Mr. Scovell would be returned for Southwark;
and, in conclusion, pioposed a resolution to the
effect, that Mr. Scovell was well qualified to repre-
sent the borough ; that a requisition be sent to him
to invite him to become a candidate, and pledging
the meeting to support him at the poll.
Mr. PUTLEY, in seconding the motion, said that
in 1853 the men in Mr. Scovell's employ had 3d.
per hour; they requested an increase of wages, and
Mr. Scovell unhesitatingly raised them to 4d. per
hour. That showed he was the working man's
friend, and worthy of support. (Applause.)
Mr. JOHN DAY then came forward, and amidst
great interruption moved an amendment in favour
of Mr. Apsley Pellatt. He admitted that Mr.
Scovell was fit to represent any constituency, but
he preferred Mr. Pellatt, who was first in the field ;
he was besides a tried man, and he would rather
prefer to be represented by a man who had done
his work than by one who said he would do it.
(Cries of " Sit down," and hisses.)
Mr. LEE seconded the amendment, which, on
being put, was supported by a few hands.
The resolution was then put, and a forest of hands
held up in its favour amidst three cheers.
On the motion of Mr. C. D. FIELD, a resolution
appointing a committee to promote Mr. Scovell's
election was unanimously passed, as was also another
empowering the chairman to acquaint Mr. Scovell
of the result of the meeting.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the
proceedings.
