The rival Candida tea in a certain'
borough were Sir John Aubrey and
Lord Verney. The poll
lasted U
days, and up to the very last day it,
was uncertain how the Ashridgo
tenantry would voto. Then it be-
came known that they would voto
against Lord Vcrnoy. Mr, Fowler
says: : , -.. ..
My readers must understand that
at that time, when the constituency
of any borough or county could not'
poll one vote an hour, the poll vnw

On the last day Lord Verney wan

Aubrey, and the roads were so bad
from the Auhridge district that tho
voters could not make their way to
the polling place without groat diffl,

the Verney aonunittee, sitting & tho
Bull's Heaif inn, found that 4heir
man was safe.
