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 Bayliff , 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 Bayliffs , 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 Bayliff allowed to be good Votes .

There were tendred twelve more by Sir Edward Wyndham , and Mr. Helyar , and eight more by Mr. Strode and Mr. Speak ; all which the Bayliff refused , as not good .

That amongst the twelve that offered to vote for Sir Edward Wyndham , and Mr. Helyar , were three House-keepers , 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 tendred 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 publick 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 Bayliff returned Sir Edward Wyndham , and Mr. Helyar .
