MIDNUAST ELECTION.

SECOND DAY.

At the opening of the Court, Mr. HALT Wl4 Ire
addreffed the Returning Officer, and demanded
the return. He raid, that the Poll having been
illegally adjourned the day before, Sand no votes
tendered far Mr. Tumor, and three voters having
offered themfelves Oor him, he was entitled to it.
The Bailiff refufed to return him-.
Mr. CLIFFORD faid, he proteftedin the name of
Mr. Holt White, againft any farther proceeding ;
but fubjea to that proteft, lie fliould tender votes
for his client, if a poll fhonld be entered upon. He
repeated the two notices of difqualification, which
he had given yeflerday, and added, that owing to
the Adjournment a third ground of difqualification
had come to his knowledge. He then gave notice,
that Mr. Tumor was alfo difqualified for bribery,
and all votes giVen to him would be thrown away.
Mr. Peci. then polled eight perfons, all of whom
refuted to produce their title deeds, or to anfwei
any queftions.
The Bailiff decided they could not legally be
afked any. None of them knew the name, defcrip-
tion, or tituation of their burgages, till read, to
them by Mr. Tumor's Counfel.
Mr. CLIFFORD objected to their *cites, as occa-
(tonal and fraudulent, and read a cafe which Lord
Somers had thought of fufficient importance to re-
port himfejf ; he laid that it was of great authority,
having been decided in good old Whig Revolution
It was a cafe in which the Houfe of Commons had
fent a Returning Officer of another rotten Borough
in that neighbourhood to Newgate,•for admitting
occafional voters to poll ; and the Chief Juilice of
England had advifed a Jury to give exemplary da-
mages againft him, Hating with indignation that
the admitting ocegnonal vote: on the poll was a great
crime, unknown to the Conftitution of our Go-
vernment, deftruCtive of our liberties, and tending
to the debauching of Parliament.
Mr. Pm. argued at length on the liberty now
enjoyed by the people of this country, which af-
forded much more focial comfort than was known
in the time of Lord Somers, and which could not
be done away by any patriots who came down to
throw a fire-brand into the Borough, to deftroy
the rights of the eledtors, perhaps their lives. He
cited the Downton cafes, in which Committees had
held fuch votes to be good.
Mr. CLIFFORD fhewed that rig fuch refolution
had been come to in the Downton cafes, and quot-
ed the cafe of another rotten Borough in the
neighbourhood (Horfham), where the Counfel de-
' cided they were bad. The Bailiff, however, ad-
mitted the votes. Mr. C. then tendered three
votes for Mr. Holt White. The firft of them, Mr.
Burley. The fecond voter, Mr. Richard White,
the father of the Borough, laid, after he had poll-
ed, he walled he could have done more for his
name-fake, and that he would give burgages to his
fons, fo that there fhould be five more votes in the
family againft another Election.—When Mr.
Monher's, the third vote, was tendered, Mr. Pell
objected to him as being a Catholic, and defired
that all the oaths might beput to him. The voter
objected to the oath of Supremacy, but would
take any other oaths thpy chofe to tender. Mr.
C. argued againft the power of the Returning Of-
ficer to adminifler thofe oaths in the then circum-
fiances of the poll, and made fome fevere animad-
verfions on the illiberality of firth an objection.--
The Bailiff was for rejeCting him, but Mr. P. with-
drew his objection, and candidly advifed the Bai-
liff to admit the vote. Thefe three all voted for
Mr. Holt White. Nine others were then tendered
by Mr. Pell, who were alfo obieEted to, on the
ground of occafionality, but admitted to poll. An-
other vote was alfo tendered for Mr. Tumor, when
Mr. C. laid that as he was not allowed to afk a
voter a queftion, and did not with to enfnare any
body, he gave notice that the voter, being the poll-
matter, was liable to tool. penalty if he voted.—
Mr. P. withdrew the vote.

Mr. C. then tendered the vote of Mr. Lane, and
read his title. Mr. P. offered verbal evidence of
his having no title. The Bailiff held the evidence
to be admiffible. Mr. P. then called three wit.
neffes, two of whom had voted for Mr. Tumors
and had refuted to anfwer queftions as to their
own titles, who faid they had never heard that any
perfon had polled for the burgage in queftion.—
The third of them, the II !ward of the manor, how-
ever, admitted that he had never known a poll at
Midhurft. The Bailiff rejeeted the vote.. The
011 was then clofed, and Mr. Turnor was declar-
ed duly eleaed.
The final hate of the Poll was as follows :
For Edmund Tumor, Efq. - - 17
For Thomas Holt White, Efq. 4
Mr. HOLT Worn pledged himfelf to bring the
quellion before the Houfe of Commons ; and Mr.
C. added, that the (tones of Midhurft fhould be
turned into bread.
The evening was fpent with great conviviality ;
and the health of Mr. Fox and feveral other illuf-
triousWhig charaeters were drank with enthufiafm.

The Hop Duty for the prefent year amounts to
no•more than 26,0941. 2S. I I id.
