WEYMOUTH AND MELCOAIBE REGIS.

The vote of Hackett (miscalled Packett) was decided to be
a bad one, because, though he occupied, by the permission of
the landlord, the house out of which he voted (the period for
which he had taken it having for some time expired) he had
not paid rates during that occupation.
William Compton's vote was struck off. These two were
Conservative voters.

William Gay, a liberal, objected to and struck out.
Richard Warren, liberal, objected to. Here the Committee
adjourned.
The result of the day is that the petitioners have struck off
twelve from the sitting Members, and the latter five from the
petitioners' side.
