THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1835.

PURITY OF ELECTION.

A great excitement was caused in the borough of Peters-
field, on the last Market-day, by about thirty persons, who are
tenants of Colonel Jolliffe, having notice to quit their houses,
some of whom voted against the Colonel at the last election;
some remained neuter, and others, who are not voters, but are
to be turned out, for the purpose of making more votes, in his
interest. One, a respectable farmer, Mr. J. Murray, who did
not vote at all, had his notice printed, and well circulated about
the borough, and also wore the original in his hat throughout
the whole of the market-day. This is the second batch turned
out, soon after the first election of the Reformed Parliament.
About twenty of his tenants were served with notices, and
many left their houses, and were put to great inconvenience
and distress. Mr. W. Stallard, a voter, having had an illegal
notice, let it pass, and was served with an ejectment, which he
defended. They did not think proper to prosecute. Mr.
Thomas Minchen, Brewer, Mr. Bridger Bradley, bootmaker,
Mr. W. Alberry, clerk, , Mr. W. Dixon, bootmaker, and
many others who have expended large sums upon the improve-
ment of Col. Jolliffe's old houses, under the promise of not
being turned out, have likewise had notices to quit. The
intimidation resorted to by Colonel Jolliffe's agents,_
Messrs. Butterfield, Meeres, 'Vernon, and others—particularly
in the case of Mr. Dixon, ought not to escape the notice of
the Intimidation Committee now sitting. What the conse-
quence will be, and how the distressed parties are to be ac-
commodated, is a matter of great concern to the independent
inhabitants.

A gentleman who is an elector met the Colonel some few
days since, who said, I think you have completely damned
your cause. To which he replied,—Then he would doubly so,
as he would still pursue the same course, as it was the only
chance he had.
