ELECTION PETITIONS.

The number of English borough members peti-
tioned against turns out to be much larger than
was expected. There are no fewer than fifty-four.
The county petitions have still to be presented.
These, of course, are never so numerous
as those for boroughs ; but the total number
of petitions is not likely to fall short of seventy,
which is at least up to the average, and we believe is
beyond it. There are now three members of the
Government petitioned against—Mr. Goschen, Presi-
dent of the Poor-law Board ; Mr. Forster, Vice-
President of the Council ; and Mr. Moncreiff, Lord
Advocate. The election of the last Minister is
objected to on the ground that a committee was
formed on his behalf for the payment of
electors' registration fees. It is also urged
that even if he be duly elected he ought to be
re-elected, because, though he was nominated Lord-
Advocate before his election was completed, he could
not accept the office until afterwards, inasmuch as
it was not vacant until Mr. Gordon had resigned it.
The point is a very nice one, and it is fortunate that
it will be tried by a judge instead of by an election
committee.
