§ To the Right Honorable The Speaker of the House of Commons.
§ We, the Honorable Baron Pollock and the Honorable Mr. Justice Wills, Judges of Her Majesty's High Court of Justice, and two of the Judges on the rota for the time being for the trial of Election Petitions in England and Wales, do hereby in pursuance of the said Acts of Parliament certify that, upon the 29th, 30th, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd days of November and December respectively, we duly held a Court at the Shire Hall in the City of Worcester for the trial of and did try the Election Petition for the said city between Glazzard and another, Petitioners, and the Honorable George Higginson Allsopp, Respondent.
§ And, in further pursuance of the said Acts, we report that, at the conclusion of the said trial, we determined that the said Honorable George Higginson Allsopp was duly elected and returned, and that his election was not void, and we do hereby certify in writing such our determination to you.
§ And whereas charges were made of corrupt practices having been committed at the said 56 Election, we, in further pursuance of the said Acts, report as follows:—
§ That no corrupt practice was proved to have been committed by or with the knowledge or consent of any candidate at such Election.
