Eleeii0neering aigcedotg fl Convenient

ted himself very much in favour of Dir
George Vandeput, who was nominated
ia oppositiontot the Courl-party. At this
period the Doctor had for some weeks
attended the noted Joe Weatherby, mas
ter Of the Ben Johnsan's Head, in Rus
sci St, Convent garden, who had been
greatly emaciated by n nervous fever
During the Doctors visits, the patients

sed her uneasiness that her Joey could
not get up and vote for her good friend
Lord Trentham. Towards the end of the
election, when the very uncommon means
used on both sides to obtain the sulfrages
of the people, the Doctor, calling one
morning on his patient, TO his great as.
constituent, found him up, and almost
dressed by the nurse and her assistants
"Hey.day! what's the cause of this?" ex-
claims Barrowby, ''why should you get
out of bed without my directions' "-
'Dear Doctor" says poor ola nieey, il
