Mr. Wynn,after some prefatory observations, in which he represented the existing inequality in the duration of polls at elections, and the necessity of some regulations to prevent inconvenient delays, on that subject, as well as to diminish the expenses incurred by the candidate in the erection of hustings, the giving away of ribbons and cockades, &c. moved for leave to bring in a bill to alter and amend the laws concerning the election of members to serve in parliament.—After a few words from Mr. Curwen, Mr. Long, Mr. Butterworth, who remonstrated against the proposition for relinquishing the practice of giving away ribbons, the lord mayor who stated the present depression of the ribbon trade, Mr. F. Douglas, and Mr. Bennet, leave was granted.—Mr. Wynn subsequently brought in the bill, which was read a first time.
