Historic London election results reveal skewed polls and misprints

The London Evening-Post recounts last Thursday's parliamentary contests in several boroughs. Aldermen Barnard, Parsons, Petty, Godscall, Barber, and Willimott led depictions of nearby totals while Bridgwater and Peterborough show corrections to erroneous tallies. Hastings, Malden, Orford, and surrounding boroughs illustrate varied support for candidates including Ashburnham, Pelham, Bramston, Bladen, Parsons, and Powys, with notes on electorate quality and irregularities.

Landlord Replies to Tenant Over Malt and Smuggling

In an 1734 London Evening Post letter the landlord notes complaints of money shortages from low barley prices and maltsters’ pay losses. He cites a tenant's arrears, opposes distillers drawing liquor from unmalted corn, and warns malt duty may fall unless Parliament acts to curb the brewing and smuggling evils.
