ELICTIONEIMING ANIXDOTIC—A CONV&NIZNT PULSE.
—The late Dr. Barrowby interestrd himself very much
in favour of Sir George Vandeput, who was nominated
in opposition to the Court party. At this period the
Doctor had for some weeks attended the noted Joe
Weatherby, master of the Ben Johnson's Head, in Rus-
sell-street, Covent-garden, who had been greatly ema-
ciated by a nervous fever. During the Doctor's visits,
the patient's wi.e, not knowing the Gentleman's political
attachment, had frequently expressed her uneasiness
that her Joey could not get up and vote for her good
friend Lord Trentram. Towards the end of the election,
whea the very uncommon means were used on both
sides to obtain the suffrages of the people, the Doctor,
calling one morning on his patient, to his great asio-
nidirrient found him up, and almost dressed by the nurse
and her assistants. 6' Heyday ! what's the cause of
this ?" exclaims Barrow by, " why should you get out of
bed without my directions?"—le Dear Doctor," says
poor old Joey, in broken accents, " I am going to poll."
" To poll," replies the Doctor, with great warmth (sup-
posing that he espoused the same side that his wife did)
14 going to the devil you mean; why do you not know
that the cold air must destroy you ? Get to bed, man ;
get to bed as fast as you can, or immediate death may
issue." " Oh, Sir, if that be the case," returns the pa-
tient, in faultering accents, " to be sure I must act as
you advise me; but I love my country, Sir, and thought,
while my wife was out, to seize this opportunity to go
to Covent garden church and vote for Sir G. Vandeput."
" How, Joey, for Sir George r 44 Yes, Sir, I wish him
heartily well." "Do you?" says the medical politician.
" Hold ! nurse! don't pull off his stocking, again ; le:
me feel his pulse. Hey ! very well ; a good film stroke;
this will do; you took the pills .1 ordered list night?"
" Yes, Doctor, but they made me very sick." " Aye, to
much the better.' How did your master sleep, nurse?"
" 0 charmingly, Sir,' replies the nurse. " Did he !
well, if his mind be uneasy about this election, he must
be indulged ; diseases of the mind greatly affect these
of the body. Come, come, throw a great coat or blari-
ket about him, it is a fine day; but the sooner he goes
the better, the sun will be down very soon. Here, here,
lift him up ; a ride will do him good ; he shall go to
the hustings in my chariot." The Doctor was directly`
obeyed, and poor Joey Weatherby was carried in the
chariot to the place of poll, where he gave his vote ac:
cording to his conscience; and two hours after his me.
.dical friend had kit hint at his own house, he departed
this life, loaded with thc reproaches of his beloved wife
and thc Court party.
