Was one of 80 on the Conservative committee. His draper wife supplied flag materials to Mr Usher to the value of £47 6s 9d. The election was worth about £96 to him altogether. Overwhelmed because the orders were so numerous, he had to pay Mr Solley £5 5s. for special rosettes for the Committee which were made by his draper wife. Costing 1s 9d, these were sold for 2s each making him a small profit. Each committee member was given 6 rosettes.
