We will now give a detail of all the occurrences of interest
which took place during the day in the respective wards :

EVERTON WARD

In this ward Mr. Francis Shand, who has resided for many
years in Everton, who is moreover an extensive ship-owner,
and, we may add, one of our " merchant princes," met with
no opposition—the reformers and their Quayle, having before,
after long, ()leis part, vexatious litigation, been obliged " to
quail " to the Court of Queen's Bench, who declared the
present candidate duly elected. The poll, at Mr. Halliday's,
Everton Coffee House, was kept open a little beyond an hour,
and no opponent appearing it was then closed, and the frame-
work of the polling-place outside was immediately removed.
A number of voters gave their suffrages within the hour for
Mr. Shand; as a matter of form, and at the close that gen-
tleman made a short and feeling address to those around him,
thanking them for the honour they had done him, and assur-
ing them that he should endeavour to repay the confidence
reposed in him by the ward, by devoting his utmost abilities
to the interests of all belonging to it in the common council.
