§
House informed, that the Committee had determined,—
That Charles Schreiber, esquire, is duly elected a Burgess to serve in this present Parliament for the Borough of Cheltenham.
And the said Determination was ordered to be entered in the Journals of this House.
House further informed, That the Committee had agreed to the following Resolutions:—
That it appeared from the evidence of Edward Foxwell Barnfleld, a voter for the Borough of Cheltenham, that, to serve his own purposes, he conspired with George Powell, another voter, to induce several voters, by corrupt means, to vote against the Honourable Francis William Fitz-hardinge Berkeley, the other Candidate for the Borough; but that it was not proved that the sitting Member or his Agents had any knowledge of such conspiracy.
That, in the opinion of the Committee, corrupt practices have not extensively prevailed at the last Election for the Borough of Cheltenham.
§ Report to lie upon the Table.
