The CASE of RICHARD HUTCHINSON , Esq AGAINST Sir ELIAB HARVEY , Return'd to Serve as Burgess for Malden , in the County of Essex , in the Place of Sir Thomas Darcy , Deceased . Appointed to be Heard on the 10th Day of January .

SIR Eliab , according to the Poll declared by the Bayliffs of the Town , had Voices 159

Richard Hutchinson , Esq 127

Of these , Sir Eliab had Free-Men made contrary to a Known , Unrepealed By-Law 73

The aforesaid Richard Hutchinson Esq of such Men , only 2

So that Sir Eliab had , Legal Voices , but 86

And the said Richard Hutchinson , Esq 125

According to which , the abovesaid Richard Hutchinson Esq had a True Majority of 39

Besides , Sir Eliab had Minors 3

The said Richard Hutchinson Esq had also a greater Majority than as aforesaid , if the 16 Clergy-Men who Voted for Sir Eliab , and the other Free-Men made on purpose to Vote for him , since the Death of Sir Thomas Darcy , ( Some of which were made since the Delivery of the Precepts ) were set aside .

However , The Foul and Partial Practices of the Bayliffs , in Giving Honorary Freedoms to them that would promise to Vote for Sir Eliab , and denying Freedoms to them who had Right to be Made Free , unless they would make such Promise ; And in delaying the Election for near a Month , at Sir Eliab's Desire , in suffering him to appoint the Hour of Proceeding to a Choice , and to govern the Court at the Poll , which was called over according to a List contrived to serve him , in Over-ruling all Just Exceptions , and absolutely denying a Scrutiny , though demanded , and insisted on : Together with the Bribery , Menaces and Force used on that Side , it is conceiv'd , will be sufficient to make void Sir Eliab's Election , if the aforesaid Richard Hutchinson , Esq had not a True Majority , as above .
