HC Deb 21 July 1857 vol 147 cc131-2

House informed that the Committee had determined,—

That Thomas Sutton Western, esquire, is duly elected a Burgess to serve in the present Parliament for the Borough of Maldon.

That John Bramley-Moore, esquire, is duly elected a Burgess to serve in the present Parliament for the Borough of Maldon.

And the said determinations were ordered to be entered in the Journals of this House.

That the Petition presented against the Return of the said John Bramley-Moore, Esquire, was frivolous and vexatious:

That the said Petition was presented chiefly with the view of inducing other persons to withdraw a Petition presented against the Return of Thomas Sutton Western, Esquire.

Report to lie on the Table.
