POURTII DAY.
Yesterday the poltoperied at the usual hour.
About twelve o'clock, several of the Members of
the Committee for conducting the election on the part
of Mr. JONES BURDETT applied to the High Bailiff in
his private room, to know if the farmed votes of St.
George's parish would be received, if brought up
to poll.?
Sir WATIUN LEWES informed them, that according
to the usage of the Borough and former decisions on
the subject, he could not allow them to be polled.
Some time alter Mr. WOOD, with several of the be-
fore mentioned Committee, had an interview with the
High Bailiff, in which Mr. Wood stated, that the
Committee finding the state of the poll to be so much
against them, were desirous, in order to restore peace
and tranquillity to the Borough, to withdraw from
the contest at the close of the poll this day. But,
before they did so, they must request to he satisfied
.on one point, which was u the appearance of a military
force in tlse Bororgh during the Election." If it could
be fairly shewn to them that such force was not
brought there for the purpose of overawing the
Electors, they would not persevere any further.
If not, they must protest against the measure, and
would proceed, disagreeable .Is it would be to them,
against such overbearing interests as they found they
had to contend with.
The Hunt Battier (Sir W. Lewes) informed them,
,that as soon as the day, of election was fixed, he had
received directions from the Secretary of State to take
tfre proper measures (as the returning officer) fur the
removal of the military in and near the Borough :
that proper measures had been adopted and the mi-
litary removed : that the military force which had
accidentally made its appearance there was a small
part of the 13th regiment of infantry, that had been
a few days before landed on the coast from Spain,
'where they had received a route to march to certain
villages in the neighbourhood of London, (such
ute having been made out and sent to the place of
their intended landing) previous to its being known
that any election for the Borough would be neces•
.3.
sary : that as soon as it was known at the Secretary
'of State's Office, all possible means were used to
alter their route, but this detachntent had, notwith-
standing, arrived in the Borough, perfectly uncon-
scious of any election being on loot there, and this
morning they had been paraded and marched off to
la proper distance from town.
Mr. Worm replied, that when they were assured of
this on farther enquiry, they would withdraw their
protest.
Mr. HITCHCOCK, a Member of the Committee, then
panted a question—" Whether, in point of laa„. the
military having appeared even in sight of the Hust-
ings, and several Electors having been overawed and'
deterred from giving their votes, this circumstance
did not invalidate. and set aside the whole election r'
Mr. PERKINS. the legal adviser of Mr. Barclay,
mid he could immediately satisfy the High Bailiff,
sto.l the Committee also, on this point. He then read
so them several clauses of the Act of Bth Gco. H.
.which was passed expressly to regulate this point ;
by which he :hewed that such accidental appearance
of the military was declared not to s fleet the election.
He also quoted two decisions which had taken place
before the House of Commons, one in 1741, and the
tither in 1746, both which were expressly, in point ;
and the ground of those decisions was, that as there
are two persons who are responsible to the. parties
who are candidates, viz. the Secretary of State, and
the returning officer, the proceedings of the election
Should not be vitiated by any inadvertence or neglect
erf ditty in them, respecting the military.
• These points being settled, it was then asked by
:the Committee, whether, by withdrawing themselves
from the contest, the poll could be closed to night ?
The Hiatt BAILIFE was of opinion it could not.—
.If there had been two candidates present, their mutual
agreement would be sufficient ; but in the case of a
certain number of Electorit nominating a person as a
candidate who is not present to give his consent, it
could only be done legally by proclamation.
It was, therefore, agreed, that• Mr. Burdett's
Committee should withdraw from the Hustings,
with their poll clerks and books at the close of the
poll, and declare to the Electors why they would no
longer continue the contest ; and that to.morrow mor-
ning, alter a certain time, the final close of the poll
should take. place by proclamation, and Mr. BAs.
CLAV be declared in due form duly elected.
At four o'clock the poll closed, and in about half
an hoot, the numbers having been summed up, there
appeared to be, . -
For CHAIM, BARCLAINEICI. 1633.
For W.l. Evaarrr,.l 0/I.—Majority 1232.
Mr. BARCLAY begged e Election to accept his
warmest thanks for the great honour they had dune
hint in their strenuous exertions in his favour from
the commencement of the poll, but particularly for

thaw of this day, which had placed Iti-m so high as to
induce his opponents to withdraw from the ineffec-
tual struggle in which they had been engaged. Hs
felt great pride in the reflection, that he might now
consider himself as the legal Representative of the
Borough of Stiuthwark, returned by a most flattering
and.commanding majority. So long as lie had the
honour to hold that high situation, he should always
consider himself equally the Representative of those
who opposed his election as of those who had, by their
persevering efforts, placed him as he now stood nn
the poll. He should ever feel happy in promoting
dobinterest of the Borough at large, and of every in-
, dividual in it.

The body of a respectably dressed man was picked
up in the river Thames on Tuesday evening, which
on examination proved to be that of Mr. Deakin, of
Watling-street, who it will be recollected was disco-
vered by the patrol. some time back with his clothes
dreadfully torn, and a rope round his neck, in the
Shepherd and Shepherdess fields, which he stated to
have been done by thieves.
