THE CASE OF Sir EDWARD WYNDHAM, Baronet, AND WILLIAM HELYAR Junior, Esq Who are Elected, and Returned. THE said Burrough is an ancient Burrough, that hath many Ages sent Members to Parliament, and the Elections have time out of Mind been made by the Bailiff, and the Capital Burgesses, and Commonalty of the said Burrough; and time out of Mind some of the Capital Burgesses have lived out of the Town, and yet have served as Bailiffs, given their Votes, and signed the Returns. At the last Election, a fair Pole was taken; and there voted for Sir Edward Wyndham, and Mr. Helyar Fifty eight; for Mr. Strode Fifty two; for Mr. Speak Fifty; which the Bailiff allowed to be good Votes. There were tendered twelve more by Sir Edward Wyndham, and Mr. Helyar, and eight more by Mr. Strode and Mr. Speak; all which the Bailiff refused, as not good. That amongst the twelve that offered to vote for Sir Edward Wyndham, and Mr. Helyar, were three Housekeepers, and one Mr. Raymond, that pays more Scot and Lot than all those that voted for Mr. Speak, and Mr. Strode: And of the Eight tendered by them, not one good, as will be fully proved, if there be time to examine it. That after the Pole cast up, and before the Return made, which was done in the public Town-Hall, three Proclamations were made, that if any one could object against the Pole taken, or the returning of Sir Edward Wyndham, and Mr. Helyar, he should come forth, and should be heard; but no one making the least Objection, the Bailiff returned Sir Edward Wyndham, and Mr. Helyar.
