4.V.

The freeholders assembled in the Cutle-yarti at York,
on Monday morning, the 40th Inst., to elect two Knights
Of the Shire, to represent this county in Parliament.
.fLord Milton was proposed, in a neat 17ierch, by Sir
Francis Linley Wood, Bart., and seconded by Mr
Strickland.
Mr. S. Wottley was proposed by Sir Thomas Selby,
and his nomination seconded by Mr. Denniaoth—After
which,
Mr. Barr e• (Printer, of l'eda,) came forward to pnt
certain questions to Mr. Wortley. That lion. Gentle:
man had professed himself a friend to the liberties of Isie
country, yet had snpported Ministers in passing those
ohnoxiona Rills which had so materially abridged them
He had professed himself friendly to inquiry, bet in the
House of CommOna bad voted against every measure
which was proposed for that purpose.
Mr. Wonvt.ev defended his conduct in the House of
C 11111 l nom', and contended that it was perfectly consistent
with his declaration there. He was a friend to the li-
hertiea of his coun'ry, and he voted for those Bills whit it
had been alluded to, because, if they had not been passe.'.,
he conscientiously thought the liberties of his country
sunlit he in danger. Be:ause he had been satisfied
there existed in the country a faction whose purpose w :s
to overthrow the Constitution by infiansinr the pellie
with exaggerated statements of popular rights. %nth
respect to suquiry into the transactions at Minehesti ...
was there pot at that moment, a few yards from the spot
where he was speaking, an inquiry going on, and frot.i
whirls he was confident we should learn the truth, which
lie believed we hail yet to learn. The Hon. tientleistzu
then defended himself from the imputation that be ha-.
in the limp, of Commons, given an exaggerated at-
coon, of the meeting at Barnsley ; and roacinde I by
saying that his sentiments were now heftier the fret -
holders of Yorkshire, for their judeinent, and by thr r
decision he was willing to staud or fall.
Lord Mita uN then stood forward, anti said he tlior-
proved of the messures passed in the last Session, wi:N
the exception of the bill for preventing illegal training,
berawie such training would not be carried on for any bnt
datizipus pnrposira. With regard to the inquirer into the
transatillons at Manchester, lie had the antlionty of the
Jotter who Will thrii trying the cause for sayine, bat the
routinet of the Magistrates and Yeomanry wonlii n: t
hr touched by the verdict of the Jere then sitting,
that conduct not being the caste thiy had to try.
Ike Noble Lord then adverted to the aurioentatiol t f
GIP army, and conentled with professinc himself an
1 enemy to latish expenditure and any increase of ;the
orivilltist.
After a few word •. in explanation from Mr. WORTLEY.
the iinestion was put, and Lord Milton and Mr. Wortley
Ale declared to he duly elected, ninth was received by
the plaudits of their respective friends. After the erre-
' ',luny of cliairios the Members, each had dinner with s
1 large parry of their friends.
