The Merits of the Election of RICHARD WILLIAMS Esq Burgess of Parliament for the Borough of New Radnor , appointed to be heard on Wednesday the Third of April , upon the Petition of WILLIAM PROBERT Esq.

THE Borough of New Radnor , by the Charter bearing date 20o Julii , An. 4o Eliz. is Incorporated by the Name of Bailiff , Alderdermen , and Burgesses , who are impowred to send a Burgess to Parliament : And accordingly Richard Williams Esq was , by the unanimous Votes , and loud Acclamations of all the Burgesses of the Shire-Town of Radnor , and the Burgesses of the out Boroughs then present , which were above 300 , duly elected and returned to serve for the last Convention , there being not any Poll demanded , nor any Opposition made , your present Petitioner , Mr. Probert , himself voting for Mr. Williams . Yet notwithstanding the fairness of the said Election , the said Mr. Probert being desirous to give Mr. Williams an unnecessary trouble in the said Election , has in his Petition to the Honourable House of Commons , most falsly and malicious suggested , that he was elected by the Burgesses of the out Boroughs .
