The present election results may therefore be considered as giving a
difference of not less than 16 in favour of Reform as compared with the
last Parliament.
Of these returns the following facts are worthy of being mentioned :
15 counties have re-elected and-reform members; 11 have re-elected
reformers ; 3 (Bute, Row, and Sutherland), have rejected and-reform.
en' and chosen supperters of the bill ; and. on the other hand,2 whirs
(Fife and Nairn) have chosen anti-reformers in place of the late mem-
bers. In the burghs 4 and-reformers have been re-elected, 4 reformers
also re-elected ; whilst the other 7 have rejected non-reformers, and in
their places chosen supporter of the bill. The differences from Scot-
land are therefore thus made out in support of the bill t
