An election for the borough of Beeralston took place on Tuesday
the 11th Inst. of one member in the room of Lord Lovaine, now Earl
of Bevetly. An opposition was expected, and the patron's agents mus-
tered all their force. Mr. Toll proposed John Attwood, Esq. and was
seconded by Mr. Northay in opposition to the patron's interest. A
Mr. Penrease of London was then proposed sad seconded ; and Mr.
Foot, of Devonport, next proposed David Lyoo, Esq. as a candidate,
in the interest of the patron, and was seconded by General Adams of
Tames. A show of bands was then called for by the partnere. which
was declared to be in favour of Mr. Attwood, a poll suss consequently
demanded by the friends of Mr. Lyon. Thus far the pro-
ceedings bad been carried on under a tree in the centre
of the borough. An adjournment was proposed to the Inn,
to which all parties immediately repaired. The voters polled
for David Lyon, Esq. were Mr. W. Foot. of Devonport ; General
Adams, of Totness ; Mr. Bastard, M.P. for Dartmouth ; Rev. C.
Luamoro, of &Ids:stews I Mr. Harris, of Plymouth ; Mr. Dawn, of
Rockland Monschorans ; and Mr. Luxmore, of Plymouth, who
claimed a right to vote as the owners of certain freehold property
within the borough; but on being interrogated by Mr. Snell, of Cal-
lington, who appeared on behalf of Mr. Attwood, they declined an-
swering any questions. One of the gentlemen thought his deed was
in the hand of Lord B.'s agents, who produced them to the Portreeve,
and in taking them from his bag, the deeds belonging to the other gen-
tlemen were observed, but they created no surprise, as it Is usual for
the agents to be in possession of those documents. Notwithstanding
the arguments of Mr. Sae% they were all allowed to be good votes.
For Mr. Attwood, SI tendered their votes as free burgesses. free-
holders, and inhabitant householders, but were all rejected ; and D.
Lyon, Esq. was declared duly elected. by his seven voters. The re-
turn was protested against by Mr. Snell, who stated that the whole of
the proceedings should be brought before the House of Commons.
