on with the most open profligacy.
Mrs ROSE observed, that it appeared from the
evidence of one of the Officers of, the Corporation,
who aced as Door-keeper on the occasion, that
two hundred persons were assembled in a room, at
an Inn, in the town, where they each received two
Guineas out of a Punch Bowl placed there for the
Purpose.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought the measure was
imperatively called for by the circumstances of the
ease, and that it was one of these which Were cal-
culated to convince the People that there was vir nc
'enough in the House to Correa any abuses which
might have crept into the Constitution.
Mr. CALVERT also supported the measure.
The CHAACELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, it was due to the Report of the Committee to
allow the proposed Bill to be brought in, which,
it was to be observed, professed generally to have
for its objeEt the prevention of bribery and cor-
ruption at the Eleaion for Members for Aylesbury.
If the House afterwards disliked the mode of doing
this, 'they would rejea the measure, and he begged
to be understood as not pledging himself to its sup-
port in thus consenting to the introduaion of the
Bill.

respelling which he should reserve himself for the

Mr. WILLIAMS WYNNE adverted to the
Cases of Cricklade and Shoreham, where he said,
the Elections had been condufied with the greatest
purity since these Boroughs had been thrown open.
