Notes

£3 for his vote from Mr East plus 30s for his 9 year old son from Mr Slaughter – doesn’t specify which one but the boy was employed as a messenger, so presume it was Thomas Arthur, the Solicitor’s clerk. Slaughter’s testimony makes reference to employing 40 – 50 messengers who were sent round each morning to ensure the bills posted were still in place.
