SALE OF A VoTE.-A novel caseof bribery
has recently been decided by the Supreme
Court of Vermont. The facts are as follows:
A man went to one of his neighbors, belong
ing to the opposite party in politics, who
was owing him, and offered to discharge a
debt of Sl55 if he would use his influence
to have him elected town representative,
and ne should be so elected. The bargain
was carried out, the vote was thrown, and
decided the election. The Court held that
the contract was Illegal, and the agree ment
to discharge the debt invalid.
