Polling irregularities at Coventry and Taunton boroughs
Reports from Taunton Somersetshire allege large numbers without voting rights were imported to back Mr Trenchard and Mr Smyth. Voters were assaulted, forced to vote, and deprived of scrutiny. Poll results show Deane and Earle leading but contested by legal scrutiny, with references to other county elections and alleged manipulation by local officers and merchants.
