that the tendered votes may be ir,velligated ; they de.
fire that they may be rejected without invettigation.
They nand upon the hour and the letter of the law,
which by the bye is not againft the propotition we
maintain on this occafion ;• we Rand upon the juftice
and the fpirit of the law.
Mr. Picior obferved, that the daily prahice of the
poll, whatever it might have been. was no argument
for a breach of law. The inflances, however, cited,
with refpett to (wearing of freeholders after the clofe
of the poll were not, he contended, applicable to
the queflion now under difeuffion, as thofe inftances
related to-the former days of the eleAion, whereas
the precife words cf the amine referred to the feral
clofe of the poil. The Learned Gentleman animad-
verted upon the fentiments of his Learned Friend
who (poke lath, with refpeet to the right of the Sheriff
to revile the poll. He might, no doubt, examine thole
freeholders who were polled, but certainly not thole
who were tendered. It was, indeed, obvious to him,
that after the final clofe of the pollthe judicial power
of the Sheriffs ceded altogether.
When the Counfel had finilbed their arguments
; upon this cafe, the Sheriffs' box was cleared. The
• Sheriffs deliberated for about three quarters of an
hour upon the law as it applied to the cafe before
r them.
At length the Counfel on both fides were admitted,
and the bheriffs declared that their deeition was, that
the votes which Rood for examination, could net be
received; and that thofe which bad been received
ought to be (truck off.
The numbers of courfc were to be declared as they
flood at the dole of the poll at three o'clock yelterday.
Mr. Knowtrs, the Affeffor, then Rated that the She-
riffs would immediately proceed to declare the num-
bers upon the poll.
Mr. Ctsseoan peopled an invelligation of the
tendered votes which bad been objeaed to.
Mr. Lisowtes faith that the Sheriffs had deter-
mined not to proceed in that inveßigation.
The Sheriffs, &c. then came on the huffing., and
the Under Sheriff read to the multitude the follow-
ing decifian

Total Majority in favour of Mr. MAIJIMAILING S.
Sir FILASCIS BuIlDkT7 and Mr. Marawartrito were
both on the huffing% but neither attempted to addrefs
the people.
Mr. Matriway no made his bow and retired.
When the crier was announcing the breaking up
of the Court, Mr. CLirroao interrupted him by
Rating that the poll was improperly call ups and
ought to be reviled, but the Sheriffs dirated the
Crier to proceed.
When the bufinefs at the Hollings was declared
to be finally at an end, Mr. MAINWARING was con-
veyed under the protation of the police to the houfe
of a friend, at fome diftance from the place at which
the elation is held. Sir Fitancrs, with a few of his
molt particular friends, walked up to the houfe of Mr.
Sauwoats, near the poll booth. The people became
exceedingly clamorous at the itatement which they
had feen and heard publifhed from the Hollings.
that fomething unfair mutt have been done to deprive
them of their reprefentative.
Mr. Towwsw IND came out befdre the houfe, and
addreffed the people, exhorting them to a forbear.
ante from any at of violence which might difgrace
the popular taupe. He Afore(' them that their ogles
fliould be contended for in a legal way, and that
the evil doers fbould, if polLble, be brought to con-
dign punilhment.
P. Moots, Efq. Member of Parliament for the
City of Coventry, alfo entreated the people to con-
duEt themfelves in an orderly manner, and reit in a
confident reliance on the exertions of the patriotic
Candidate to obtain redrefs for any violation of their
rights. The Honourable Gentleman then referred
to the private manner in which Mr. Men:wawa
retreated from the Huflings, obferving, that they
famed to carry him away as a let of thieves convey
a piece of llolen goods, or fometbing which they
wete confcious did sot properly belong to them...-
Vert there were load and repeated app fault, from the Per
ple. Shall we, he Paid, have the other Candidate
, kenta from off the place of the elation with the fame
privacy ?—[ o ! No! was exclaimed by every itoxim ;
, chair him ! chair him 1 eve: alfo loudly rtpeated.]—Mr.
Moots again begged of the people to conduit their-
. (elves with aria propriety, as they might be well
convinced what handle would be made of the molt
_ .

trifling anion of a contrary defcription.
Mr. Moose then went into the houfe for a few
minutes.—The people became quit vociferous for
the chairing; but he came out again, and laid that
it was contrary to the wintcs of Sir Farina' himfelf,
for whom they had expreffed fo much partiality ;
and he had authorifed him to beg it as a favour that
they would not infitt upon foch a thing, but that
they would for the piefent be fatisfied with giving him
only loch tainiony of their approbation as they had
always been fo ready to bellow upon him. If Sir
FeaNcts timid hereafter be declared the legal Re-
