Case of Ashby and White Reflections on Westminster Elections
The Gazetteer notes resolutions from the Commons asserting their sole right to examine election matters for Westminster, warning officers of poll duties against costly lawsuits and inconsistent determinations. It recounts historical opposition, with references to Devonshire, Walpole, and prior trials, then moves to polling updates from Denbigh and Gloucester, Worcester results, and gossip on marriages and deaths in Cheshire and Staffordshire.
