Secrecy of suffrage — Exemplification of the necessity of it.
Extract from Examiner Feby 20. 1820. — Taunton.
"Sir Thomas Lethbridge ... possess a good deal of
property in the Borough (Tauton) and ... drives his vassals
to the poll, just as a drover does his beasts to market.
The Baronet, it must be confessed, has an odd way of showing
his respect for "British freedom", which he says in
his harangues, excites "the envy of the world". When several
of his tenants took him at his word, and exercised a
little of the said "British freedom", in refusing to vote for
his Brother-in-law, he proceeded to eject them from their
houses: nor could the poverty of some of them, nor the
extreme bitterness of the season (it was last Christmas)
stay the stern hand of "the Protestant Champion".
